Apparently, he got hit on the head during a rough landing in an airplane the day before. Chances are that'll be the contributing factor.

Lesson: ALWAYS wear your seatbelt until the pilot turns off the fasten the seatbelt sign.

Meanwhile, Sham Wow is still kicking around. I wonder if they'll keep running the promos after this.

Matt Lesko seemed like a weird Riddler to me.

Forty acres and a mule to anybody who can find me the Andy Dick Show segment where he parodies Matthew Lesko.

I have urinated next to this man, and I didn't even realize it until I saw him again in the hallway, like 5 minutes later.

Week of June 22-28 Death List
1. Ed McMahon
2. Farrah Fawcett
3. Michael Jackson
4. Billy Mays

What the fuck is going on?

You can add Gale Storm to that list as well, although my grandma and others in her age bracket are probably the only ones who knew who the hell she was.

Probably. People always find some way to capitalize on someone's death if it means profits.

I mean, the guy hit his head, walked away, and is dead less than a day later. I am never leaving the house again. I'm telling you, guys, all of this celebrity death is shaking me up. I inadvertantly switched the lights off as I was getting into the shower this morning, and for a brief moment thought that, like Billy Mays, I was poised to shed this mortal coil well before my time.

Basically the same thing that happened to Liam Neeson's wife, right? The human body is such an odd thing. It can sometimes survive a ridiculous amount of damage, and at other times it just gets a lovetap and then falls over dead.

Bunch of rumors that he started eating painkillers like skittles after his first hip surgery. :(

He never seemed like the type who was popping them like crazy.

The only good Ctrl-Alt-Del is the one where his wife miscarries.

So they are going to continue to run the ads for the ones he's recorded already. I wonder what the family will get in royalties for them and how long they will run.
