Dude was a legend, redefined infomercials. A part of me died today.
what the fuck is going on
Wow, that SUCKS! He was one of the few people that actually made those infomercial things entertaining. God has a new angel today.
HI, BILLY MAYS HERE TO GET INTO HEAVEN! IT HAS THE STRENGTH TO HOLD BILLIONS OF SOULS! NOW THAT'S THE POWER OF HEAVEN!
So much for that whole "death comes in three" bit. Man, the Grim Reaper has been putting work this week.
Guess even he is afraid they may lay him off in this economy.Quote:

Well that sucks! I loved that Pitchmen show too
I kind of feel bad for Farah Fawcett. Poor woman keeps getting eclipsed by more important deaths.

Mays' wife, Deborah Mays, told investigators that her husband had complained he didn't feel well before he went to bed some time after 10 p.m. Saturday night, Tampa police spokeswoman Laura McElroy said.
U.S. Airways confirmed Sunday that Mays was among the passengers on a flight that made a rough landing on Saturday afternoon at Tampa International Airport, leaving debris on the runway after apparently blowing its front tires.
Tampa Bay's Fox television affiliate interviewed Mays after the incident.
"All of a sudden as we hit you know it was just the hardest hit, all the things from the ceiling started dropping," MyFox Tampa Bay quoted him as saying. "It hit me on the head, but I got a hard head."
McElroy said linking Mays' death to the rough landing Saturday afternoon would "purely be speculation." She said Mays' family members didn't report any health issues with the pitchman, but they said he was due to have hip replacement surgery in the coming weeks.
wow...i read this and was thinking...what the hell could be wrong with him...or thought it was another hoax like the louie anderson(which im sure hes dying for attention)
looked it up on wikipedia and hes just dead
i wouldnt of minded to meet the guy...he seemed to be alright....
So...since he passed away, does that mean people are going to sell boxes of OxiClean on eBay for several hundreds of dollars?!!
Bill and Mike's Not so Excellent AdvantureQuote:

Went over to meet a family for a museum trip. Bottle of Kaboom! on windowsill. On the way to the museum I saw a wheelchair-bound bum at an intersection taking money from commuters with a gopher.
Billy Mays was one of my heroes. Seriously, that dude could sell anything. They should be investigating Shamwow Vince right now.
BTW, how strange is it to think that he and Michael Jackson were the same age?
This 50 thing is scary. My father-in-law died in October of last year at the age of 50. Cardiac arythmia.
it's pretty funny how tv brings us all together.
bye bye billy.
We've got some OxyClean upstairs under the sink.
It works great :tickled:
Billy Mays was a great pitchman.
i just realized how great billy looked for 50.
such a thick beard
I thought it looked like he dyed it.Quote:

You will be missed Billy.
R.I.P billy damn seems like the grim reaper has had a busy month with celebrity as of late....
I heard last night about flight 1241's tires blowing off when it landed. Now I hear Billy Mays was on it and he got hit on the head with some luggage and died in his sleep that night?! Fucking bizarre.
who wouldn't?Quote:
