WTH is going on around here. Ed McMahon, David Carridine, MJ, Farrah?

Wow.  Although I can't put him up on the same level as the other four, he was beginning to mark his mark in the mainstream with that TV show he was doing.  Same age as MJ also.

Wow, that's wild.  I was mocking him not an hour ago when one of his commericials was on.

RIP Billy

Too many peeps are speculating that there was too much black shoe polish in the air.

That's probably what killed him.

double-u, tee, eff

What's in the water?

Dude hit his head from a plane ride and wasn't feeling good before he went to bed.  Probably died from a head injury.

Didn't really mind him as a pitchman but that ShamWow dude...why couldn't he have hit his head...that guy is annnoyyinnggg!

Maybe because he hits other things?  Don't bit his tongue, that's for sure!

Harhar..

So much for the guys saying: "I can't believe God killed Michael Jackson and let that annoying Billy Mays live!"  That didn't last long, did it?

Most tasteless joke heard so far: "What are MJ, Ed McMahon, Farrah, (and now) Billy Mays expecting for Xmas?"

HI, BILLY MAYS HERE FOR THE STEAM BUDDY.

HI, BILLY MAYS HERE FOR THE JUPITER JACK.

HI, BILLY MAYS HERE FOR THE TOOL BANDIT.

HI, BILLY MAYS HERE FOR THE WORLD'S GREATEST INSOLE, IMPACT GEL. WHY AM I SMASHING MY HEEL WITH THIS HAMMER?

[BANGS]

TO SHOW YOU THE AMAZING PROTECTION YOU GET, FROM IMPACT GEL.

The slider station bugged me. Slider patties should be square.

Mmmmm.....WhiteCastle.  Gimme a bag of ten.

I thought Ya'll have Krystals in the South

Ron's....our White Castle

Closest one to here is in arkansas. We don't have White Castle either except in the freezer case which is NOT the same thing.

Not according to WhiteCastle's website.  I think the closest one now is in St. Louis.  I believe all the KC locations are gone.

TMZ is saying no head injury or hematoma, most likely heart disease, which would not be surprising.  That was my first guess until I heard he got gonked on the head. 

Another report says he had a pulmonary embolism, which does happen from time to time to people who have just flown long distances.  They sit in one position too long, a clot forms in a leg, it dislodges and winds up in a lung.

They did say he was due for his third hip replacement today and that he was on pain meds but they were fully accounted for, and no signs of abuse.

There's a Krystal in Springdale, where Rally's used to be.

I was responding to the post about Krystal, which is in Arkansas. I know where the White Castle is in St Louis. I load up two bags anytime I pass it westbound.

Sorry; misread.  Never been to Krystal's.

Oklahoma is not the south.  It is Oklahoma.   I figure if I can't  get an order of grits with breakfast anywhere I go then I am not in the south.  And if you can only get unsweet tea, except at QT then I am not home.  When I have to ask for unsweet tea then I know I am home.  I am a Florida Cracker first and a thank goodness i live in Oklahoma by choice. 

OMG, you have never been to a Krystal's - pronunced Chrystal's in Alabama - especially at 2 in the morning, then you have to add this to your to do list. 

So what region is Oklahoma in?  I'm originally from Canada so I assumed it was in the South.  Whatever it's in it begins with South lol  ;D

You won't be doing that in Springdale. The damn Krystal closes at 10 most nights. I think they're open until midnight friday and saturday.  :o

I much preferred when they first opened and were 24 hours, since when I'm over there I'm usually missing dinner and working until 2 or 3 in the morning.

I'm confused after all these posts, did Billy Mays die from hamburgers?  Were they White Castle or Krystals?

Tulsa is considered the northern most southern city. OK was not a state during the Civil War, but what is north eastern OK was part of the south.

During the Civil War, my family fought for the west.

"The south" is east of Oklahoma. I think we're midwest, despite being in the center of the country E-W. Whoever decided all this seems to have used DC as the center of the US.

Actually, I believe Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri are still referred to as the midwest.  We are central plains, though if you pick only the 8 spokes of the compass, I hear south, southwest, or south central.

I saw my first Oxyclean commercial post Billy Mays...I'm surprised to say, compared to his pitching, it sucked.

I never realized how good he was at catching my attention.

Now it's boring as hell.

Some quiet female narrator and scenes of things getting cleaned.

Billy was a partier.

Autopsy: Cocaine contributed to Billy Mays' death

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090807/ap_on_en_tv/us_billy_mays (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090807/ap_on_en_tv/us_billy_mays)


TAMPA, Fla. – An autopsy shows that cocaine use contributed to the heart disease that suddenly killed boisterous TV pitchman Billy Mays in June, officials announced Friday.

The 50-year bearded TV personality died of a heart attack in his sleep after going to bed at his Tampa condo the night of June 27. His wife found him unresponsive the next morning.

The Hillsborough County medical examiner's office Friday said Mays had last used cocaine days before his death. The report said that although Mays died from heart disease, cocaine use was a contributing cause of death.

No one is naturally that excited about OxiClean, no matter how much money they are being paid.

Heh, Oxyclean.  Had Oxicontin in the system as well.  Along with Hydrocodone.  Good job, Billy, shop enough docs and you can get a whole range of opiates swimming through your veins.  I think the whole Oxyclean deal was a cover for continuing George Jung's empire, bwahhhahhh

It's amazing what famous people think they can get away with.....Anna Nicole....Heath Ledger..Michael Jackson...Billly Mays.....They seem to think they are invincible....

The are special, right up to the point where they aren't anymore.

Awesome....!!!
