Another shocker, I figured this guy would be around screaming at us to by something for a very long time.

R.I.P Billy Mays.

Be be blunt - that's f*cked up! Death must come in fours now. :-O

I guess that show that he and that other dude had just started together is finished now.

The news says Billy was in a rough landing on a US Air jet last night at the Tampa airport. Tires blew out; stuff was falling out of the overhead bins. Billy said he was OK because he has a hard head. Still... it makes you wonder about a subdural bleed, especailly since he complained to his wife last night before going to bed that he didn't feel well.

Sad to see him go. As David Frost said after the John F. Kennedy assassination, "We have been made very aware of death this year."

Oh... and OxiClean actually is good stuff!

I wonder if this is the same type of fatal injury that Natashia Richardson succumed to? :sad:

Wow, I just finished watching a Billy Mays commercial... He was shilling the AwesomeAuger.

I wonder how long his commercials will run.

Don't I know it.... for some reason once I turned 40 I started looking at the obits in our weekly paper. Usually about a dozen give or take, half guys. If the guy who died was 80 or older it didn't bother me the same way it did if he was younger, or alot younger. This week there were two guys who were 48 and once who was 34. None died as the result of an accident. :sadno:

Last Friday I had a mole removed. I find out in a week if it was cancerous or not.... :hmmm:

Even though I have younger kids I am the same age now as my dad was when I graduated High School... :-O

But I try not to dwell on it... :-/
