Billy Mays

He was an icon.

Maybe his head wasn't as hard as he thought it was.

Bad week to be a celebrity.

At least Billy believed in the products he sold.

I'll mourn him a lot more than I'll mourn the pedophile.

From everything I've ever heard or read about Mays, what you saw was what you got. A very straight up guy. Too bad.....

Odd... I just read a feature article on him in an American Airlines mag last week. After years of getting by he was finally on easy street.
Such is life.

Not to be inconsiderate, but I'll not miss either one in my life (as if we haven't seen the last of 'em). I do feel for their families.

It was a US air flight. Hard landing. Blew a tire and apparently an overhead bin flew open... something from above. Don't know if it's officially related yet though.

I liked him alot better than the Shammy guy.

I worked with a guy in my last job who is the spitting image of Billy Mays. I used to tease him all the time.

the word I got from a radio show close to him was that he went through a botched hip replacement not to long ago. He's been on pain meds (like oxycotton) and may have taken too many by accident. He was scheduled for another hip replacement surgery tomorrow. I don't know any of this to be true, just what i'm hearing.

News just came out that he suffered from hypertension and had a heart attack. No overdose of meds, no hit on the head.

Bummer. Too young for that....
