Mom: This has to be shouted
Me: ??
Mom: BILLY MAYS IS DEAD!
Me: …
Mom: Get it? I yelled like he did.

"I asked myself the same question many a time during my years of teaching teenage boys! Poor Mom and poor Mr. Harrison.
(No, I never had X is a Penishead written on a desk, thank goodness, but I did have to throw out a dozen textbooks at the end of the year at one point because just about every picture had been, ahem, similarly embellished.)"— Anne

A little too soon, but kind of funny, too.
June 29, 2009 at 9:45 am
i agree – it’s a little too soon.
June 29, 2009 at 11:42 am
I believe Billy Mays would be happy to have us all yell this to one another! My husband yelled this news to me yesterday right after he heard. Billy found his nitch and now that he’s gone, he’ll be strangely missed! Life is funny that way, isn’t it?
June 29, 2009 at 12:43 pm
Now, I’m not going to say that I never muted the TV when those commercials came on, but I agree with Emma, I was “strangely” sad when I heard the news. Life is a conundrum, indeed.
June 29, 2009 at 12:50 pm
SAD NEWS INDEED! BILLY MAYS MAY BE GONE, BUT HE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN! I GUARANTEE IT!!
June 29, 2009 at 1:57 pm
Those commercials may have been annoying, but we do buy the Oxyclean and use it a lot. Some of the stuff I have read says that he truly enjoyed what he did, and it did show. He was always smiling. Thoughts are with his wife and little girl and stepson. Now, the guy who sells the SHAMWOW, thats another story!!! And I can only do it for the next 20 minutes!!!
June 29, 2009 at 5:22 pm
Oh give it up – it is NOT too soon unless you personally knew the man. Even then, who are we to judge how much time is ‘appropriate’? How do you know he would not have laughed? Sheesh – give it up. It’s called a sense of humour, I hear you can rent them now – some of you should look into it.
These people are not dancing on the man’s grave or singing praises that he is gone, so just let it go.
June 30, 2009 at 2:29 am
Kaleid..no one’s saying that he wouldn’t have laughed or that this was rude..Sometimes some people are more sensitive to death and hearing other people make jokes about it hurts their feelings. I personally don’t think it was too soon but for others death is really hard.
June 30, 2009 at 4:40 pm
death comes in 3s: so there went Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, and Michael Jackson……
and Billy Mays, being the man he was, THREW ONE MORE IN, FOR FREE!
ps
I don’t mean to offend, I loved the man and i personally am of the opinion that jokes are actually a tribute to him
June 30, 2009 at 8:07 pm
Laughter–now THAT was funny!
July 1, 2009 at 1:53 pm
Laughter – way to steal that from the “LOL celebs” site:
