Dropping Like Flies!

A very DED No-Prize to Ron!

Television "pitchman" Billy Mays — who built his fame by appearing on commercials and infomercials promoting household products and gadgets — died Sunday.

Mays, 50, was found unresponsive by his wife inside his Tampa, Fla., home at 7:45 a.m. on Sunday, according to the Tampa Police Department.

Olivia and I always got a kick out of his infomercials.

Kate Bush - running up that hill
Mark Cuban - Billy'll keep him alive
Don Swayze - there's more than one swazye?
Madonna - kaballa or whatever it is for the win
Angela Bassett - sounds familiar
Belinda Carlisle - Go-Gos kick ass
Anthony Munoz - who?
Steve Guttenberg - and he'll be in roughly 127 more movies
Tim Burton - damned oddball
Jeff Foxworthy - you might be...
Chris Columbus (director) - sailing, takes me away
Orel Hershiser - who?
Joan Jett - ROCK!
Andrea Bocelli - sounds vaguely familiar
Kevin Sorbo - Hercules FTW!
Michael Madsen - IIRC, he'll kick your arse
Tim Robbins - another oddball, more annoying
Alan Jackson - who?
Viggo Mortensen - millions of women are now fearful for his safety
Razor Ramon - who?
Simon Le Bon - Duran Duran FTW!
Marg Helgenberger - who?
Michael Wilbon - who?
Jamie Lee Curtis - Trading Places FTW!
Kim Delaney - sounds vaguely familiar
Nikki Sixx - ROCK (but now fat)

Hmm, they were both born in New England, too. Maybe the result of one of those secret programs to solve the problem with Social Security by genetically engineering talented (and therefore destined to be wealthy) people with precise expiration dates, so there would be big pay-ins with no chance of pay-outs.

And foil hats aren't strong enough to work all the time. I gots me a tinfoil football helmet, so I can thinks much more better now!
