    RIP, Billy. Let's hope this thread spawns 1000 posts about what a horrible person you were.

    WOW!!! He was just on the Tonight Show with Conan a couple of days ago.
    "When not too many people can see we're all the same
    And because of all their tears,
    Their eyes can't hope to see
    The beauty that surrounds them
    Isn't it a pity".

      What happened to him?
      Lo there do I see my Father.
      Lo there do I see my Mother and my Sisters and my Brothers.
      Lo there do I see the line of my people back to the begining.
      Lo they do call me.
      They bid me take my place among them.
      In the halls of Valhalla where the brave may live forever.

        HOLY COW! They are dropping like flies aren't they? What did he die from? Drinking one of his own products?

              I was reading, yesterday his jet blew 2 front tires coming in for a landing.

              It arrived safely, but today he's dead.

              Some people are speculating perhaps he hit his head or something

                  Wow. If he did take a hit to the head as reported, that certainly could have been a contributing factor. Obviously, that hasn't been determined yet, but we already saw something similarly freaky when Natasha Richardson died.

                          You know that's weird because I saw some advertisement the other night about a new show called "Pitchmen" where he competed with other guys to see who could sell an item the best.

                              I admit, I actually thought Billy Mays was cool. I started watching "Pitchmen" because it was on after "Mythbusters," but the show turned out to be pretty interesting sometimes. I was really surprised when I opened my browser and saw the news that he had died, especially at the same age as Michael Jackson.
