Below is Big Kev, he died this week. Can you guess the cause of death?
No, he didn't drown in a tub of mayonnaise, or suffocate on his twelfth
hotdog. That's right, heart attack.
Now, this isn't going to be a making fun of the fatties post, that would
be hypocritical. This is a tribute.
Who was Big Kev? He was a genuine Australian bloke that would appear on
morning TV spruiking cleaning products to the housewives and shut ins.
Yep, he was on a par with the weirdo chef guy from the miracle blade 3
infomercials, but far below Brooke Burke and her Pilates DVDs. Why was he
loved? Because of his ridiculous level of enthusiasm for everything. His
catch phrase "I'm excited!" was never softly spoken, and caught on to be
heard in primary school playgrounds and pubs alike, In the short amount
of time his line of cleaning products were successful, he was the major
sponsor of a V8 supercar team. He just seemed to be a good bloke, working
hard and getting the rewards. Of course it all fell apart, but his legacy
to the Australian people will live on for decades to come.
RIP Big Kev. Let "I'm excited!" ring out over the heavens.

His heart attack was probably caused because he got TOO excited.....

I actually saw Big Kev in the flesh at Eagle Farm racecourse in Brisbane one day. He was a short, fat little fucker, and he had on the loudest shirt I've ever seen.
R.I.P Kev.

Only in Qld could Big Kev have been a success.
What a guy, some more big kev trivia - in the 80's he went bust (as many developers and builders did) and he and the family lived in a shed for years. thats all the trivia I have, actually his shares listed at $1 and sunk all the way to 10c within 3 years I think. they never went abiobe that $1 float price.
I'm excited, what an Aussie battler. (why are all the aussie battlers bankrupts?)
