sucks to be a swayze

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

has he seen the bucket list yet?

it's what gave him cancer.

"according to the National Enquirer", so take with the usual truck load of salt.

They're more credible than the nytimes! For real.

this is fucking sad. shit. the guy is a fighter though. i have a feeling he's going to fight this thing with awesome power and grace.

^^^ This. It is sad news.

usually when items like this get reported in the media, it means the person is going to die VERY soon (like in a few days).

first jeff healey now patrick swayze.... if i were sam elliott i'd be very worried about now.

pancreatic cancer is no joek

survival rate is less than 5% and i guess really really painful to boot.

xpost.

yeah, a friends dad got it and went really fast

Definitely too bad. I think Bill Hicks died of pancreatic cancer too.

man, such a bummer

SWAYZE

In retrospect, nowhere near enough votes.

Yeah, my grandma had pancreatic cancer. She took a trip to Ireland in August in tip-top health, was diagnosed with the cancer a couple weeks later, and was dead by Christmas.

Patrick Swayze has reportedly started saying goodbye to family and friends after learning his cancer has spread to his liver.

The Dirty Dancing and Ghost star, who in January was told he had pancreatic cancer, has started preparing himself for death, reports say

:-( I read this as well. So sad.

Anybody who wants to see a really bad movie that happens to capture the pure essence of the Sleazy Side of Swayze can rent "Keeping Mum", starring Mr. Bean and Kristen Scott Thomas.

There's a scene where he wears a black thong.

Never much liked him as an actor. But god damn this is no way to die. :-(

i was in berlin this spring just when the news broke of this first bout of cancer. for the entire time i was there the newspaper front pages and hoardings were full of pictures of patrick swayze with headlines like PATRICK SWAYZE TODKRANK. i couldn't understand all the fuss, especially in local papers, but apparently berliners love swayze because dirty dancing was being shown in german cinemas when the wall came down so it was one of their first tastes of freedom. apparently the film went on to be HUGE amongst east berliners and literally ran for years in the city's cinemas.

ah shit. i love swayze

As I understand it he kept on smoking after the cancer was diagnosed.

I'm guessing from Red Dawn, Dirty Dancing/Berlin Wall equation etc. that he's probably also pissed off about McCain losing.

There's no good way to die but I think it's good to have time to say goodbye to your family.

Uh, between dying in your sleep and this, I think I would prefer the former, dude.

Yes, he did. But I doubt if he had quit now, it'd have magically disappeared. Smoking is bad for you and does cause cancer, but cut the guy some slack.

I remember Dennis Potter on TV, swigging from his morphine bottle and puffing away on his cigarettes gleefully ("this lovely little tube of delight" he called it).

Sad that anyone dies of cancer but I'm afraid with the possible exception of his turn in Darko he did little for me as an actor.

Sympathies to family, friends, and fans of the Dirty Dancing film.

even more swayzeness:

The Genius that is Patrick Swayze

swayze bro or no?

Uh, between dying in your sleep and this, I think I would prefer the former, dude.

(sorry for bumming out a bummed out thread even more) - knowing people who have woken up next to dead partners, I don't think this is an ideal way out either, particularly for those left behind.

I'm a fully paid up member of the Fuck Cancer Party btw, I just sometimes think it's best to know you're on your way out.

onimo, we're all on our way out. ;-)

I'm guessing from Red Dawn, Dirty Dancing/Berlin Wall equation etc. that he's probably also pissed off about McCain losing.

you're a fucking moron

cogent

innit

Would you ascribe this trend to the general downward trend of British society since the war, as opposed to pre-war days when British people doffed their caps and showed respect for authority, and children were able to kick a ball in the street without so-called Health And Safety interference?

I remember Dennis Potter on TV, swigging from his morphine bottle and puffing away on his cigarettes gleefully ("this lovely little tube of delight" he called it).

Saw that as well. I miss Dennis Potter. :-(

swayze is like apple pie and blue summer sky. you hate swayze, you hate america.

Actor Patrick Swayze has denied US tabloid reports that he is close to death, calling allegations "shoddy and reckless reporting".

The 56-year-old star said reports that he is "on his last legs and saying goodbye to my tearful family" were "lies and false information".

Rooting for this guy.

Florida-based radio station KissFM reports that Patrick Swayze has reportedly died.

RIP Patrick Swayze

Now his people are saying he's still alive. Good work, KissFM.

Possibly prescient, though.

reportedly dead guy

Reportedly In Peace

NOBODY PUTS SWAYZE IN THE CORONER

Reportedly.

Heaven needed a tai chi bouncer.

r.i.p.

this is fucking sad. shit. the guy is a fighter though. i have a feeling he's going to fight this thing with awesome power and grace.
