Billy Mays’s funeral was held over the weekend, and his pallbearers all wore what Mays called his “dress blues” — the trademark khaki pants paired with a denim button-down shirt . And I don’t ordinarily call funerals “adorable,” but c’mon, this picture is pushing the same buttons as a puppy licking a baby duck.
However, I can’t say I’m pleased with the lack of uniformity in shades of color here. All different kinds of blues in those shirts. And the khakis! You’ve got everything from stone to tan to beige to oatmeal to sand to ecru. Yeah, that’s right, I broke out “ecru.” I got more colors than a J. Crew catalogue.
And finally, Guy on the Left: dude, you gotta roll your sleeves up. It’s like you didn’t even know Billy.

Um, that’s Billy’s son (Billy Mays III). If anyone should get a pass on the fashion that day, I’d say it’s him. Nice job, dick.
Oh, shit, guy who DIDN’T roll ‘em up. I can’t read or write.

I didn’t realize Kenny Rogers and Billy were close.
Careful… Skinny Kevin Smith might pull out his back… Good thing he has support.
Beards should have been required as well.
What about the guy wearing sneakers? Sneakers at a funeral? Show a little effort.
I agree with KP, matching beards would have been a nice touch.
Now Robert McNamara is dead. He was famous right?
FWIW,
“Kenny Rogers” = Billy Mays’ father
“Skinny Kevin Smith” = Billy Mays’ son
Is that fucking Brad Childress holding the end???
According to the body count provided by McNamara’s heirs, there will be 300 people buried at his funeral.

You must be an old fart…like me…
Kris Kristofferson in attendance.
Did Billy Mays weigh like 900 pounds at death or something? People are straining awfully hard to hold that casket. Having been a pallbearer a few times (where there were only 6) it’s not THAT heavy.
Unless they buried him with all the stuff he sold over the years. In which case, those guys are gonna need hernia surgery.
nice white sneakers there champ…we’re sure these guys aren’t PE teachers?
Wow….
…Cool threads (i.e. khakis and shirts)….does anyone know who carries this line?
I gotta get me some….
Funny fact….the words “car keys” and “khakis” actually rhyme…
