Yup, it was me, I just wanted to mute him, NOT shut him off

Death must be in the air. The guy in the slip next to me at the dock had a stroke on Thursday, the guy catty corner to the North of my slip his wife had emergency surgery Saturday, and the guy with the loud stereo hasn't been seen for 2 weeks.

I hope when my number comes up, it is a high one that won't be used for many more years

You were supposed to test that thing on a dummy first not kill him with it.

Re: Billy Mays has passed

Billy Mays voice was so annouying to me. He did his job well though and the proof is how many products he hawked.

What irked me was when commercials come on the tv's volume goes up and on top of May's booming voice it was very annouying to hear his commercials first thing in the AM. But hey, that's what remotes are for.

I always used to flip to another channel WHEN EVER he came on.

But he was a talented pitchman and it's sad to see his life end at such a young age!

Now with the Shamwow guy I always got a kick out of listening to him. I used to like waiting for him to say "we can't do this all day"

Around our house the shamwow guy is more commonly known as the "scamwow" guy.

although......when he does the commercial for the Slap Chop I cant help but laugh when he says "your gonna love my nuts".

Re: Billy Mays has passed

funny dubs of Billy may commercials, not appropriate for kids or for work due to foul language.

But anyways, everybody seems to be dieing, Michael Jackson, Billy mays, Farah fawcett.
