Billy Mays Is Dead!

NOOOOO!!!! What in the fuck is going on?! It has been confirmed that infomercial superstar Billy Mays has been taken away from us at the young age of 50. Billy was found by his wife at their home in Tampa, FL at around 7:45 this morning. No cause of death is known at this time, but an autopsy on Billy's body is scheduled for tomorrow. Foul play is not suspected. Billy was supposed to have his third hip replacement surgery tomorrow. Billy's wife issued this statement:

"Although Billy lived a public life, we don't anticipate making any public statements over the next couple of days. Our family asks that you respect our privacy during these difficult times."

Billy had just returned to Tampa from Philadelphia where he was filming an infomercial for OxiClean. Billy's plane had a little issues during landing. Billy Twittered yesterday: "Just had a close call landing in Tampa. The tires blew out upon landing. Stuck in the plane on the runway. You can always count on US Air."

As much as Billy's sawdust voice made my ears chaffey, I will still miss it and him! Nobody could yell at us while selling a household cleaning product quite like him. Let's all wish Billy a safe journey to the giant infomercial in the sky.... May he rest in peace.....

His is the only beard that I imagine doesn't smell. I would think it smells something like a lovely mixture of cookies and sunshine.

LOL I worked for a arts and crafts store a long time ago and when I first saw a Bob Ross box of paints with that FANTASTIC fro, I had no idea who he was

How I loved Bob Ross. There's a happy little Bush that lives right here.

I want shirts with his and Billy's heads on them.

If Bob Ross were still alive, he'd have to go into hiding.

Peace to Billy.

Hi MizRo! Bye MizRo!

I am having very bad and sad thoughts about who is gonna be next...

Madolyn: What do you expect coming in here?
Billy Costigan: I have to come here.
Madolyn: I know you have to come here, but now that you're here, what do you want?
Billy Costigan: You want the truth? Valium.

US Air does suck. I have never flown it without some misadventure: lost luggage, messed up seat assignments, a strike, bungled reservations, surly staff, equipment problems, sold out of mini-bottles (!!), etc.

I LOVE Oxyclean. It's the only thing that 100% gets out the smell of doggy pee. I put it in my carpet shampooer. I use it on the whites in the laundry - better than bleach!

I hope he didn't suffer. RIP Billy.

I think it's the evil eye personally, but then again, Farrah had cancer so it's not completely random either that she would go as well. But all these others...weird...it must have something to do with astrology.

Does someone have a comprehensive list of all the celebrities who've died recently?

David Carradine
Ed McMahon
Farrah Fawcett
Michael Jacskon
Billy Mays

I know there were a couple more.

PERSONALLY, I'm of two opinions.

1. I think it's an ASSTROLOGY thing (not to be confused with SCIENCE); and/or:

2. Some Hollywood people got together and had an EYES WIDE SHUT type of party and since they couldn't sacrifice a small child, the net result is that 7-10 celebrities had to die.

BOW WOW CHIKKA BOW WOW.
