Is Vince the Slap Chop guy out of the hospital/jail yet?
He was arrested when he got into a fight with a prositute who tried to bite his tongue off.

The other day I dropped a sauce covered meatball on one of my favorite white shirts. It didn't wash out, instead leaving a massive orange stain.
Suddenly I though of Billy Mays and Oxy Clean. I wondered if my oxygen based sanitizer I used for home brewing might work on stains too.
It did.
Many thanks Billy, rip.

Now, if Vince can manage to survive the hookers and street people he runs with he’ll be king of the hill. Ron Popeil is fading away and Billy is gone. The other pretenders to the throne are so forgettable........

Mays was on board a US Airways flight that blew out its front tires as it landed at a Tampa airport on Saturday, MyFOXTampa.com reported. US Airways spokesman Jim Olson said that none of the 138 passengers and five crew members were injured in the incident, but several passengers reported having bumps and bruises, according to the station.
Authorities have not said whether Mays' death was related to the incident.
That's weird.

Did you ever notice that you NEVER saw Billy Mays and Dick Cheney at the same time?

To bad. May he rest in Peace.
Anthony Sullivan was better in my opinion, Mays was too in-the-face - like used car salesmen of old.
The Slap Chop Guy and the Sham Wow Guy just don’t have what it takes to move into the Big Leagues.

Billy Mays dies and Keith Richards is still breathing and Richards looks dead for the last 15 years.

He was just another guy who wanted to build himself up in America. You can say his pitch was annoying but he wasn’t slick and shady like that shamwow guy. He was a real dude and I wouldn’t be surprised if he was at a tea party to stick up for all the Joe the Plumbers that are getting shafted by Obama.

Mere injuries don’t feed the public appetite for grief and gore, it’s gotta be death and the more weird, the tastier.

I have a slap chop that I bought from a Williams Sonoma catalog back in 1980, or so. Guess they’re not so new. Yeah, but does yours open up like a butterfly for easy cleaning in the dishwasher so nasty germs can't grow in the crevasse's??? huh? HUH??
HUH?!!?
I DIDN'T THINK SO.
