Where are you, Billy Mays?

Share
I miss Billy Mays. You know, that overly enthusiastic, always smiling, TV pitchman who died last year at the ripe age of 49. He was the spokesman you could always find during the wee hours of the morning or on Sundays when nothing good was playing. He could take tongue-tangling phrases such as "rainbow light complete prenatal system" and make it reverberate throughout your brain. You can almost hear his baritone voice excitingly say "Let me do a rainbow light complete prenatal system review just for you! Act now and I double it! rainbow light complete prenatal system review, rainbow light complete prenatal system review!" That's what I need right now. Someone who can take mundane phrases and put a little life in it.

I feel your pain. There's still one commercial where they have Billy Mays in the background. There's also a red headed woman how does cooking commercials, some pressed sandwich thing. I like to watch her too. What she can do with 1/2 an egg, a spinkle of cheese and a piece of bacon!
Thanks.
