You trying to tell me you didn't hear that shriek? That was something trying to get out of its premature grave, and I don't want to be here when it does. - Phantom of the Paradise (1974)

Yes, I meant to post that one yesterday. King of the infomercial! 
I was reading an article that mentioned a lot of the TV advertising methods and stock phrases that he originated. ("But wait, there's more!" "Now how much would you pay?")

My husband told me and the first thing I said was "Noooo! Donnie will be devastated!"

You know me too well. Yes, another of my favorites, gone.I did celebrate his life, though, by downloading the classic Ronco Rotisserie infomercial.

I think he'd be pleased.

He'd be even more pleased if I ordered a rotisserie.
