    @LandofMinos, I took the O out of Cuntry: Of course not meaning any disrespect for the much lauded salesman Billy Mays, who I never knew existed until this story today. But good joke or bad Mr 87Caprice needs to lighten up somewhat.

    Man, I would hate to have the gig of pulling all the tv spots he's on.


    In other news, my beater Camry may have died today. Probably just the timing belt but deader than the proverbial door nail right now. It held up ok with Farrah and Michael, but Billy was just too much for it.

    Billy told FOX 13 in Tampa that something struck him in the head -- here's Billy's actual quote:


    "All of a sudden as we hit you know it was just the hardest hit, all the things from the ceiling started dropping. It hit me on the head, but I got a hard head." --From TMZ


    Eerily similar to poor Natasha Richardson. Watch out for bumps to the head, folks!

    Jesus,usually it comes in threes not fours. It's a shame about Billy Mays, Tony Little spoke highly of him (don't ask how I know him). Talk about two deaths out of the blue (MJ and BM)...

    @M0L0TOV: MJ's death was kind of expected, I mean, it wasn't really a shock.


    Billy Mays, on the other hand, was shocking because I just saw him on the tonight show not even a week ago.

    @offyatindy: The Dual Saw intrigues me, as well, but knowing that it is sold through Telebrands, I can't help but know that it was built to a price point, and not to a level of quality that I want in my power tools. I'd gladly buy one at twice the price, if it were made by Dewalt or Makita. That's not to say that I haven't bought my share of crappy import power tools, but usually only for things that I know won't see much use. The Dual Saw seems like something that I might want to use more than a couple of times.

    I don't see Michael Jackson as dying this week...to me, he died shortly after Thriller. That's when the weirdness killed his talent.


    Just MHO.


    Mays...I guess doing more than 60 seconds of screaming was too much for him (reference to new Discovery channel show)

    @diesel W123's don't die: His career ended in the 80s, that's for sure. After that he was just a reclusive one-man freak show. And nobody was buying tickets to that.
