(A period didn’t seem appropriate, considering the man’s famous high-volume pitch.)

I almost had a heart attack. My daughter told me that Billy Mays had died, and I thought she said Willie Mays. You would certainly expect that since Willie is so much older. I’m very sorry for Billy Mays and his family though. Too many celebrities dying lately, and most of them are going way too young.

Not to say I am not saddened by Billy Mays death, because I Youtube his commercials frequently, but when I heard, I also thought they meant Willie Mays and I frantically searched the internet to make sure that wasn’t true.

Mr. Merope did the same thing. Never share news of someones demise when you’re eating a popsicle.

I read this thread and thought bullpen catcher Billy Hayes had been fired.

RIP Billy Mays

Heh my mom said the same thing when I told her. I said, “no no the Oxyclean guy.” She was still shocked.

BILLY MAYS HERE FOR ETERNAL BLISS

RIP Mr. Mays. You were the greatest pitchman of them all. I had the pleasure of meeting him once. He was a genuinely nice man who complimented me on my beard.
