Have any of you noticed, that even though the guy is DEAD they keep showing his commercials?
I mean, hiw COLD is that?
I just heard one on the TV as i was sitting here, and i just HAD to write.
Last night we were watching TV, and he comes on to pitch some phone gadget that plays your cell phone through your car speakers. I do a pretty mean imitation of him, so i start chiming in "Even though I'm dead, i STILL use this jack! It even works when your 6 feet under! The groundhogs and earthworms can even get your calls!"
I just couldn't HELP myself......my wife was laughing and shaking her head....

Way to go Cheesey! Even the dearly beloved passed away aren't safe from you. Every time I hear his name or see a commercial I think of OxyClean.

Anyone for a Weenie Roast?

LOL! "OXYCLEAN!"
"Never have a dirty ox again, use OXyclean! Guarenteed to keep your ox showroom clean! Your neighbors will be envious!"

"John......how come OUR ox never looks as good as Billiy's???"
"Cause he uses OXYCLEAN!!!"

When I see these commercials, it just makes me think of death and how sudden it can come. Very unfortunate.

They still show one of his commercial thingies here, as well. No one actually knows who he is or that he has passed away here, though. It's some kind of gel you put on your car to make scratches dissappear.

Yup....fact is....all of us will have that happen to us some day.
Thats why i prefer to try to find anything funny i can. Otherwise, it can be quite depressing. Believe me, i have lost WAY too many loved ones in my own life. You either learn how to cope with it, or get depressed and go nuts. You can sit and think about death, which WILL come some day, or learn to live each day as it comes. As close as i came to "buying the farm" last February, i was more concerned about those i would be leaving behind instead of what was happening to me. I was going nuts trying to figure out how to let the people on here know what was going on. Had i not had Julie's phone number, i would have been worried that i was gonna die, and no one here would know what happened. Crazy, hey?

I think it's pretty cool actually. Billy Mays had a wife and young children. It's not every family that gets to profit from their father's/husband's work after his death. Mays' accomplishments are still putting food on his family's table. That's something to be proud of.

Yeah when I was one of his commercials after he was gone I was a bit surprised. (It was only a week or two later) but I figured that MOMMA wanted the show to go on.

I don't think alot of people know that cocaine was found in his system. I don't know how much that may have contributed to his death.
It's a shame for his family.

Zero2Cool (2h) : James Jones. Y’all must not know, Dr. Mackenzie🤣 he was not going to let Jordan love play today.

Zero2Cool (2h) : Malik to start. Love inactive. Per report. Let's go!!

buckeyepackfan (3h) : I think J-10VE will be inactive, a little twist that could be put in is run a wildcat with Wicks at qb. Have him as emergency qb if needed.

Zero2Cool (19h) : I think that's how it works.

Zero2Cool (20h) : I'd go 3 QB regardless this game.

Zero2Cool (20h) : Clifford was elevated, not activated. He doesn't play, it doesn't count.

hardrocker950 (23h) : If Clifford is active, not likely to see Jordan play this weekend

Mucky Tundra (23h) : QB Sean Clifford and CB Robert Rochell elevated from the PS for the Titans game

Zero2Cool (19-Sep) : WR Jayden Reed (calf) and G Elgton Jenkins (illness/glute) returned after sitting out Wednesday.

Zero2Cool (19-Sep) : Packers are in pads and so is Jordan Love. Second straight day of practice for QB1.

bboystyle (18-Sep) : If Love comes back, we win in a blow out

Zero2Cool (18-Sep) : Jordan Love just spoke with reporters and said he’s giving himself the week but hopeful to play Sunday against the Titans.

Zero2Cool (18-Sep) : Practicing is Jordan Love!

Zero2Cool (18-Sep) : Packers are signing WR Cornelius Johnson to the Practice Squad per sources. Johnson was a 7th round pick this year.

Zero2Cool (17-Sep) : Packers placed RB MarShawn Lloyd on injured reserve.

Zero2Cool (16-Sep) : Rams won’t have Cooper Kupp or Puka Nacua when they host the Packers in Week 5.

Mucky Tundra (16-Sep) : Or is that the Rusty Red Rifle because of his age?

Mucky Tundra (16-Sep) : The Red Rifle Returns!

Zero2Cool (16-Sep) : Panthers are benching former No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young and starting veteran Andy Dalton beginning this week.

Mucky Tundra (16-Sep) : bears still have slim chance here

Mucky Tundra (16-Sep) : and there's another one!

Mucky Tundra (16-Sep) : oh crap macbob has the Texans K and he keeps hitting these long FGs

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : Hope the Texans beat the brakes off the Bears

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : LaFleur: “I asked Malik why he didn’t throw it on that third down and he told me Josh threw up on the ball.”

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : i was wondering why it was just you, me, beast and macbob by the end

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : Yeah it was weird today for some reason

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : Oh my, marvin harrison jr might be as good as he was billed out to be

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : and none of the chats on my phone are showing up on the desktop chat

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : weird, i was on my phone for chat during the game but now on my desktop I look at chat and there's tons of chats i didn't see on my phone

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : Oh yeah, for sure. That's just not fair thoguh.

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : Zero, what I meant was that surely a tech and IT genius such as yourself would find a way to change the pick

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : Well, I mean, I know I did, but might not have waited for it to register and went into Chat. Oh well

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : Or so I thought I did. lol

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : I had Colts for few days to throw everyone off. At 11am or so, I changed it to Packers.

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : You know if you didn't say anything you probably could have changed it and no one would have noticed ;)

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : Vikings over the 49ers, Bucs over the Lions
