Your fans and critics are filling up my favorite discussion board with too many memorial threads! That is all.
Celebrity death news is taking up too much bandwidth on my favorite 24/7 news channels. I'm having politics withdrawals.

Let's just hope that Arnold Schwarzenegger doesn't die any time soon.

No. Only the California State Budget actually died. :(

Can we add Paris Hilton to the list of Deceased celebs?

I don't know about Paris, but we could add Lindsay Lohan's career.
They aren't listening!
DAMNIT!
I thought Karl died about 20 years ago.
Why didn't anyone celebrate Billy Mays with a big memorial, like they did MJ? Or was it that maybe we were sorta sad to see Billy Mays, with all his silly carnival luster, go on to the great sky of $19.95 products?
(Can't help myself... on a roll)
If Billy Mays was still around he could have advertised the Pathfinder RPG....
(Sales Pitch)
Billy Mays here... Does 4th edition fail to keep your attention? Do you want to restore that brand new, showroom shine of 3.5? Feel embarrassed about how your gaming guests comment on the dull, dog eared around the edges feeling your role playing games have? Well do I have a product for you... Pathfinder RPG! Its got all the retro style that you love and crave in a shiny new hardback book! But wait, that's not all! You also get updated, upgraded, and over the top rules that really add the luster back to your gaming table's surface..... (etc.)

Discovery Channel is having a memorial special tomorrow (Thursday 7/9) night. Last week, they ran Pitchmen all day long with the season finale as the cap to the day.

My wife got me started... we were resting off a day's work at the mental hospital (yes, we both work at the mental hospital... actually how we met, but that's another story)... and were being bombarded with a combination of Billy Mays products and the various male enhancement product of the month ads... and then I mentioned how funny it would be if Billy Mays advertised the male enhancement products in the same fashion that he does everything else...
and my wife immediately went into a sales pitch that I cannot repeat for respect of the boards... but if you want the general idea think of it along the same lines as furniture polish... We still laugh about that one (but then we both work at a mental hospital so we've been known to start laughing at most anything out of the blue).

"DON'T YOU JUST LOVE BEAUTIFUL WOOD? GET ON THE BALL!"
I was only able to catch a part of the tribute show today. I really hope they re-air it soon. Losing him really hit me, especially since I'm a Garry's Mod player. He's pretty much one of the Memetic Badass saints in that community.
I am still alive, my dear, adoring fans! Carry on.
The real cause of all these recent celebrity deaths?
The Revenge of David Carradine, Undead Kung-Fu Master.

Snicker! Actually, my wife's was fairly close... "Has your hardwood lost its luster?"

Billy Mays was going to do an ad campaign for Taco Bell. That is best left up to the imagination.

With all the time-traveling and cosmic strings in the Star Trek universe, there are a INFINITE number of James T. Kirk's out there. (Including one that didn't cheat on the Kobayashi Maru test, so he never graduated Starfleet and became a farmer instead).
Edit: I almost forgot the ShatnerVerse Kirk too!
I, too, live!

It was the lava sauce that did him in.

How about the Universe where James T. Kirk didn't cheat on the Kobayashi Maru test, got the point, and still went on to be a great Starship Captain?

We recorded the memorial for Billy Mays, because after watching the last episode of Pitchmen, I needed to look at scantly clad females to cheer myself up (Thank you, Naughty Balarina!)
I'll say this for Billy Mays. There was a man who loved life, and loved what he did. He himself said he was an absentee father to his son, as he was constantly on the road until he hit it on TV at 40. For him, he said, life really began at 40. He was divorced, had remarried and has a beautiful little blond moppet of a daughter who clearly meant the world to him. A lot of the products you see him pitch have stories behind them. The Awesome Auger, for example, was invented by a former pitchman who was mauled in an airplane crash.
With the exception of the visceral dislike of the ShamWow guy, Billy Mays always seemed to be open minded and friendly. He'd explain why a product was flawed, or unmarketable in their format. And came across as a man who grabbed life by the horns and rode every moment.
I'll miss Billy Mays, loud voice and all. He reminds me of my father in a lot of ways, and makes me cherish him more.

Yeah, truly! I don't understand how they think that loading a shell with red dye makes the taco more worthwhile to eat....
Walter Cronkite's death proves this:
Or at least they don't read the Paizo Off-Topic Discussions board.
Walter Cronkite did an unfavorable interview with David Carradine, once.
The undead kung-fu master who is wreaking his revenge on the celebrity community, taking new victims every week.
Or at least they don't read the Paizo Off-Topic Discussions board.What makes you think that? ;)
Unrelated. The poor pooch was old and had eaten to much Taco Bell.
