    Any problem Billy Mays had could have -- and should have -- been fixed with MIGHTY PUTTY (!)

    NBC's running a three-minute obit on Nightly News right now. Never heard of the guy, but I have heard him. Was he hard of hearing or something? Shouting didn't make the stuff he sold better.

    I hope not... but Walter Cronkite and Ted Kennedy aren't exactly on the rebound.

    From a friend's Facebook page:

    Billy Mays is not my lover. He's just a guy who thinks my product will sell.

    I know at least one place that is putting his death on A1.

    Abe Vigoda outlived another one.

    That's going to be my standard RIP response from now on, replacing "Good career move."

    Yes it did. It was his schtick.

    If memory serves, he got his start selling on the Atlantic City boardwalk and that's what you had to do to cut through the clutter.

    The Pitchmen show that had been airing on cable was quite well done. One thing that came through was that he was very loyal to the people that had been good to him on the way up.
