Wow, he sure left nothing to chance.  I wonder how he managed to look normal on TV, given that he probably had several serious addictions.


He didn't look normal on TV. He looked coked up.

But did he look like a walking pharmaceutical catalog?

No. Just coked up. I guess he needed a way to come down after the shoot.  :P

Yeah, just the typical melange of uppers, downers, and pain meds in his system.

I wonder how the Mays family is going to deal with this one, after all the "righteous indignation" of the initial toxicology report. :menace:

DEFINITELY not a case of a poppy seed bagel three days before death. ;)
Experience bij!

Hee hee.  I wonder how all the tards who went on and on right after his death about he was some paragon of humanity feel now.

I always thought he was just a sleazy salesman.  :huh:

He started on the Atlantic City boardwalk. That's never a good sign. :contract:

You know, a lot of people don't really have a problem with heavy drug use.  Even I think that there's worse things you could be than a drug user.  Gay, for example.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Obvioulsy Billy Mays wasn't one of those people.

Well, I don't have any moral issues with it (I think all drugs should be legal).  I just don't know that I would walk around declaring some coke fiend a phenomal exemplar of anything, other than coke fiendom maybe.  I mean, if they guy was also a war hero or something, maybe, but... he was a sleazy salesman who did incredibly annoying commercials. :mellow:

I'm defending Billy Mays from your spurious allegations. Vince from the ShamWow commercials planted that evidence. IF IT DOESN'T FIT, YOU MUST ACQUIT.

I'm bored.  :blush:
