Billy Mays - RIP

[wiley]

TAMPA, Fla. - Billy Mays, the burly, bearded television pitchman whose boisterous hawking of products such as Orange Glo and OxiClean made him a pop-culture icon, has died. He was 50.

Tampa police said Mays was found unresponsive by his wife Sunday morning. A fire rescue crew pronounced him dead at 7:45 a.m.

There were no signs of a break-in, and investigators do not suspect foul play, said Lt. Brian Dugan of the Tampa Police Department, who wouldn't answer any more questions about how Mays' body was found because of the ongoing investigation. The coroner's office expects to have an autopsy done by Monday afternoon.

...... may a bottle of mishandled Oxiclean leave an indelible bleach mark on your favorite purple speedos!

But Wait!

He was hit on the head during a hard landing at Tampa IA. I bet dollars to donuts he had a sub dermal hematoma.

Everyone stand well clear of Ludicrous.

The lightning should be striking any time now.

Actually, those are my speedos. Ludi was just, er, uh, borrowing them.

Looking like Billy may been fatally injured when striking his head during a recent tire blowout on a flight he was on when it landed in Tampa the day prior to his death. My wife is an ortho/nuero nurse and she as told me for years that a strike to the head can be fatal, even though the person may not feel that they have been struck significantly. The older you get, the more suceptible it can be.......

May he rest in peace.

He was a household name, although his voice could hit a certain nerve in my brain that gave me thoughts of bullets entering my skull.

RIP Billy.

I wonder if they'll get the Sham-Wow guy to deliver the eulogy?

Sully may deliver the eulogy. What a way to end the "Pitchmen" series or they could get Vince. Hey wait, I am 50, maybe I need to see the Dr. soon, as preventive maintaince.
