They say celebrities die in threes. Leave it to Billy Mays to throw in one more COMPLETELY FREE.

Ah, but if you count David Carradine, it was 5!

Nice try, though, Chumps, maybe Billy Mays was just setting us up for the "you only have 30 seconds left to order" offer!

And how about Fred Travolina (sp)?

Mr. Bill · 06-29-2009, 05:55 PM

Never heard of him prior to today. I guess since he made the headlines, though, let's count him!!!

I guess he could no longer live in a world without Michael Jackson to impersonate

They had a special on Billy Mays on Discovery last night, kind of a behind the scenes look at his life. The cool part was when I was flipping the channels I noticed that on Discovery they had "Paid Programming" on at like 9pm which struck me as odd for that time slot, but that was the title of the show.... I thought that was a ok with me.

I like Billy Mays, he made it fun to watch infomercials. How sad for his family, I wonder what happened? . I always remember him....
