RIP in 2009 - Page 30

I've let the LoT be my only MJ input. So not overloaded in the least.

Oh, except that two of my friends el jayed about it. Including Bryan, who dressed as Captain EO for last Halloween. I did not realize it was the culmination of a several week MJ mania on his part.

DJ spun a bit of Jackson Five and Michael Jackson at the cemetery screening tonight. The MJ tune just before showtime got EVERYONE up and dancing. It was touching and awesome.

But Ghoulish Delight was right .... we were in a cemetery, so how could you NOT play Thriller???

WTF universe?

Billy Mays died.

Ghoulish Delight · 06-28-2009, 09:57 AM

Wow. Just, wow.

And to make Mays' death a little weirder, it turns out that yesterday he was on a plane which blew out its front tire on landing. No injuries reported, but if it turns out Mays dies of a heart attack or something similar, you have to wonder if someone the stress from that combined with his usual high-strung state had anything to do with it.

His son's twitter stream.

The marvels of our modern age. Getting to participate directly in the grief of people we don't actually know.

And then there is Billy's final tweet:

Of course not !!! He's a Celebrity, therefore his death must be related to any or all of the prescription drugs he was on at the time of death. I call for an autopsy to see if he was on pain killers. Or sleeping tablets. It must be that, cos it can't possibly be natural causes. Who can we blame if it's natural causes ?!?! There's no-one for the family to sue if it's only natural causes.

sorry, just tired of all the media hype over the MJ painkiller thing. Maybe we're getting more of it than the USA, but boy, are they really pushing that bandwagon or what?

Ghoulish Delight · 06-28-2009, 10:44 AM

Interesting. After the hard landing, Mays said that stuff fell and hit him on the head. Wonder if that had anything to do with it.

It's weird. We've been watching Pitchmen so I suddenly have been seeing Billy Mays oin TV a lot, as well as his son. Had this happened before a few months ago I would have hardly taken notice, but now it seems I oddly care a bit more.

That's how I feel too.

I do wonder if he had a concussion from the stuff that hit him.
