I guess the story is that he hit his head while on the plane into Tampa. They are unsure if that was the cause. I cought him as he was bringing his luggage into the elevator and then again on the way down. He looked OK to me, maybe he had a bit of a lowered brow, but he was nice enough to us. Sad. I guess 50 is the new popular age to depart.

Nice little brush with greatness. I once was in an elevator with Gloria Allred and Jesse Jackson. Allred had an office in the building where I was working. As a kid I also got the autographs of the blue angels and later many of them died in a horrible crash.

I used to see Billy Mays all the time at the home shopping network when I picked my mother up from work. Great guy, excellent salesman. The timing of his demise lined up perfectly with the death of consumerism. Maybe he'll be considered a mythical ancient demigod when civilization devolves into a primitive cargo cult.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('jasonraymondson', 's')ince everyone thinks dropping names of celebrities they have met is cool
I met Jessica Alba (bitch), had dinner with Amber Tamblyn (Joan of Arcadia ""Huge Pervert" """ Made me Blush """) Of course if you consider them celebrities, wolf blitzer, Anderson cooper, Lou the idiot Dobbs.... so on and on
even met and shook hands with George Bush, you have no idea how much restraint it took to keep me from punching him in his stupid face. Every fiber in my body screamed out for me to do it. Instant celebrity could have been mine.

My son will be disappointed to hear this news. He does a great imitation of Billy Mays.

Here is something funny about Billy Mays.

Didn't Michael Jackson use Oxy Clean to bleach his face? Maybe that is why MJ and BM died a few days apart.

[Pretorian]

I went watching a movie with Condoliza Rice once. Who will guess the movie.. will get an 1800 years old silver coin with free shipping... plus a cookie.

-Being that Michael Jackson is 99% plastic, he will be melted down into Lego Blocks so kids can play with him for a change.

-Not sure if it's true but I heard MacDonald's is running a special in his honor. 50 year old meat between 10 year old buns.

-America is the only country where a poor black boy can die a rich white woman.




-MJ's cause of death was actually food poisoning.....................................He ate a 12 year old wiener



-Farrah Fawcett dying wish to God was "Please, save the children". God granted her wish that same day.


-When was it time to leave MJ's house?


When the big hand touches the little hand.

-MJ will not be buried or cremated; he will be recycled into plastic grocery bags, so that he will always be white, a good recycled plastic product and dangerous to children!

[flapjax]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Pretorian', 'I') thought he was a cartoon creature. Anyways, dudes from commercials are celebrities now for you? You'd be so much better off staying at home in Cambodja or whatever other swamp you are from

Good day:
Why is Michael Jackson's death so important?
47 million Americans have no health care. Thousands are dying because of lack of decent health care. Michael Jackson died, and he had health care. He probably died from abusing health care.
I know a couple who were just dumped from Cobra when the wife developed breast cancer. The couple had kept the payments up. Now she can't get surgery or chemo.
This happens all of the time.
I don't give a rat's backside about Michael Jackson.
Michael Jackson was famous. Mother Teresa was successful.
Farrah Fawcett is a different story. She will be missed. She never seemed to lose herself like so many actors.
My favorite Farrah film is "The Substitute Wife". She even plays a hooker with style.
