I am having a hard time
... deciding which of these people I cannot stand more.
Lady G watches "So You Think You Can Dance" and, in the background (I don't watch it), I can hear the cackle of this person named Mary. It causes the hair on the back of my neck to stand up every time this woman issues one of her "nails on the blackboard" laughs.
Then, there is this guy, Billy Mays, who seems to be pimping products on virtually every channel now. I used to be able to flip him off (figuratively, of course) whenever he would pop up on one channel. Now, he's everywhere - screaming at me to buy something that he's selling. I am running out of hiding places from his commercials. At least he hasn't popped up on radio yet.

He may (ha!) be annoying, but I find myself wanting everything he pitches. I absolutely HAD to have some Atomic Putty. Then when it finally hit the As Seen on Tv section at BB&B, I'd forgotten what I wanted to do with it. Once I see Billy on with it again, I'm sure he'll remind me.kayrharris wrote:Just wait a few minutes. Billy Mays will be right here.

You might best check your products liability insurance 'cause that Mr. Edwards is a right good attorney, and a love child at age 54, while impressive can be expensive.

I can never pass up the etrade baby.
