I didn't even know who Billy Mays was until I looked him up..I bet he's friends with the shamwow guy...anyway this could be my last post in a week+..leaving for Lake Anna in a few..

WTF? How does someone as "successful" as him end up over $400,000,000 in debt? How does one person even spend that much in a lifetime? Again, WTF?

A lot of people (other than lawyers and doctors) are out some serious cash.

I heard 500 Mill in debt...and nearly fell off my couch, but then they went on to say his net worth was around a billion...thanks in large part to the rights to his music and the beatles.
I'm not looking forward to an entire month of Jacko music on every dial and tribute shows on every channel.

I love "Off the Wall" when it came out... Think i like it better then "Thriller"

I hear ya...but now with all this talk about overdosing, I don't get it.

He lived in California, a state where weed is basically legal if you have a hangnail. Why the heck would anyone do (prefer) oxycotin over pot?

Interesting thought.

Painkillers suck...I'm glad they make me sick for the most part.

Except for Vicodin which makes me drool and stare into space. Michael was clearly a disturbed person for reasons we will most likely never really know.

Vicodin on its way out?

"A federal advisory panel voted narrowly on Tuesday to recommend a ban on Percocet and Vicodin, two of the most popular prescription painkillers in the world, because of their effects on the liver."

From this article.

Because it doesn't require you to either smoke or bake it into fattening brownies?

If you've been on Oxy, you might see. I had some bad withdawls when I went off of it.

5. now the incident reported in the article below......CAN'T WE DIG A GIANT DITCH, CALL FLORIDA AN ISLAND, AND LET IT DRIFT AWAY FROM THE UNITED STATES??



Michael Jackson's death sparks bus brawl
Fri Jun 26, 10:21 pm ET

MIAMI (Reuters) – A fight broke out on a Florida bus when news of Michael Jackson's death sparked debate over whether he should be remembered as a great musical talent, and one passenger was charged with assault, police said on Friday.

The bus was moving through the city of North Lauderdale on Thursday when passenger James Kiernan received a text message about Jackson's death on his cell phone, and he read it aloud on the bus, the Broward County Sheriff's Department said.

The unidentified bus driver opined that "Michael Jackson should have been in jail long ago," prompting Kiernan, 60, to retort that "the world just lost a great musical talent," the police report said.

It said the last remark enraged another passenger, Henry Wideman, who started a swearing match with Kiernan, then pulled out a knife and chased Kiernan down the aisle with it.

The driver called his dispatcher and pulled over near a convenience store to wait for sheriff's deputies, who arrested Wideman, 54. He remained in jail on Friday on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

I like your idea, we could do the same with California.

Well, he could always use a vaoprizor, but in Cali, he could basically go to the pot store and get a marijuana energy drink, pre-made.

I think the reasons were quite obvious... Father being a dominating figure including beating, no normal childhood etc.

Looks like you picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

So, Farrah Fawcett died and she heads up to heaven. After the several hours of needed processing, she's brought up to the Pearly Gates to meet The Main Man. He looks over her record and is impressed with her credentials.

"You've lead a good life and are a good person. Welcome to Heaven. I grant all new arrivals one wish. What would you like to wish for?"

Farrah mulls it over for a moment and then says, "I want the world to be safe for children."

Then Michael Jackson dies....

Hmmmmm....well, I meant the really strange behind the scenes stuff we will never know.

Many others have had dominating dads and who got beaten who turned out far more normal.

agreed, but the combo of that plus the abnormal childhood - similar in some respects to all the child stars who end up in trouble with the law/addiction etc.

 

[ComeBackMudPuddles]

dunno. seems to me jack-o's problems ran deeper than a father-son complex or abuse. he seemed to be ill, mentally-speaking.

don't want to seem like i'm speaking poorly of someone that just died. i don't think there's anything "wrong" with mental illness. it happens and sometimes medical treatment is just not enough.

 

[RootDKJ]

Maybe doctors will be able to re-start his cardiac system...and he'll be able to find himself a good arranger who'll help change the debt to credit.... After Quicy's ghost writers jumped ship...it was a downward slide for a longgggggg time. RootDKJ...that's a real question that deserves a prime-time special investigation..;-), although judging how marvelous Afrin's Severe Congestion spray works(2 sprays and you're good for 24hrs!)....not difficult to speculate on Oxy addicts' reasons...
$.01

Well it looks like that's going to happen, as the DEA is now part of the investigation.

Well, as the past few days have shown, his dad is a complete dickhead.

I think Michael knew/wished he would die relatively young.
