Billy Mays dead at 50

[BuffyGirl]

They say if you suffer any head trauma you're not go to to sleep for a long while. That's why people always try to keep you up. Even the slightest head trauma (minus your wife hitting you cause you said something stupid ) you should see the doc for safety's sake and stay up as long as you can!

I found a pretty good little video of Billy Mays ordering food at the drive-thru of a McDonalds. Not sure how many of you have seen it, but I though it was pretty funny.

I also came across these videos when I was watching the Billy Mays one. I thought they were hilarious. I wanted to bring a little cheer to the thread. R.I.P. Billy.

while i don't necessarily feel emotional about his death, the fact he gave a lighthearted interview regarding something that may have been the cause of his death kinda freaks me out a bit.

You mean the yelling or the rip off of his product?

That's a good video. I have a good friend who is a salesman and he reminds me of Billy Mays in that video. He's always making conversation with everyone and at the same time trying to get a discount or a nice deal from someone. But he does in a charismatic way where you just have to like the guy.

"Billy Mays here..." That was classic. Also, was he being followed by the paparazzi in that vid?

A friend emailed me this pic of Billy Mays...I think it's hilarious.

I'm gonna miss seeing Billy on TV.

It's kinda funny,yet sad... cause it's possible all that fast food is what killed him.

He died of a of a pulmonary embolism. That could happen to anyone at any time. My uncle died from that and believe me, he didn't eat fast food. He was a tight wad. He was also thin and didn't have any health problems.

Today the Discovery Channel is having a Pitchmen marathon with the Season (series?) Finale tonight. I actually didn't see many of these, and I love them. Which makes Billy's passing even sadder.

I can't help but think how awesome a talking Billy Mays figure would be

"Hi, Billy Mays here."

"When I'm up against a wall, that's when Billy Mays performs best."

"I'll tell you what, If you knock me off once, shame on you. If you knock me off again…"
