Billy Mays too?
« on: June 28, 2009, 12:14:31 PM »
It's true, Billy Mays of Oxy-Clean fame has passed at the age of 50.   His wife found him unresponsive in his Tampa home this morning at 7:45 am.   

Ed, Farrah, Michael, and now Billy?   The Celebrity Deathwatch site must be going nuts.

At least now I won't have to mute my TV when those damn infomercials come on at their full volume.

Yeah, I put up a post about him too.

I found his commercials annoying, but that's what they paid him to do. This may sound odd, but I'm kinda glad I got to see another side of him in the TV show "Pitchmen"... I mean, to see he wasn't like that all the time in real life.

You've got to watch your back in the SSDB, this is where the clever guys get bored with bike talk and make poo jokes.
I like my women a little big. Natural. Now, they shave this and wax that. It's not right. I love natural women. Big women. This trend in women has to go. Bulomia, anorexia. That's just wrong. You know what will cure that? My special sticky buns. One lick of my sticky buns and your appetite will come right back. ~ RIP Mr. Borgnine  01/24/1917 - 07/08/2012  :'(

Billy Mays is no Ron Popiel and there's no way he's in the same league with Farah, Michael and Ed, or even David for that matter. His success was based on two things-- a loud mouth and having no shame. But he did hit the big time doing commercials after giving up his career as a plumber in Queens or Brooklyn.
