    - I just googled Billy Mays. I really had never seen him before. -- nm - Inigo Jun 29, 07:59 3
      - He is actually one of the better infomerical spokesmen - amoxy Jun 29, 08:15

  - There's gonna be a lot of sets of three is all I'm sayin'. -- nm - Reagen Jun 29, 08:11 2
    - and a lot of arguing over who belongs in which set. -- nm - loosilu Jun 29, 08:21 1
      - considering the stars that worked in the 30s, 40s, and 50s are quite old, and the ones fromt he 60s and 70s are approaching the average age for dying, - zork Jun 29, 08:24

      - I get the urge now and then to see how bad can it be and I fight it off. I'll probably succumb someday though out of curiosity. -- nm - Diva Jun 29, 07:48 5
