At least I outlived Patrick Swayze... so far.

I may not be as handsome, or as rich and famous.... but I'm older and still alive, so I win.


LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A publicist for Patrick Swayze says the "Dirty Dancing" actor has died on Monday.

Swayze, who starred in other films including "Ghost" and scored a hit pop music single with "She's Like the Wind," was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer nearly two years ago.

Swayze's publicist Annett Wolf says the 57-year-old entertainer died with family at his side. He came forward about his illness last spring, but continued working as he underwent treatments.

By the way... no one has commented on my current avatar. Here's the story: There's a guy here in Charleston who dresses (poorly) as a woman and shakes his fist at passing cars, and occasionally assaults people by walking up to them and slugging them. I had him thrown in jail for this very thing. The cops call him "Swamp-Thing" but he actually had his name legally changed to Leah. His also makes his own videos and delivers them to workers at TV 8 occasionally. He has a face that only a mother could love, and is perfect as an avatar....

I'm well aware of who the person is in your avatar, swamp-thing is one of the many many names given to him/her. I've seen 1 or 2 of the tapes you've mentioned, a friend from there brought them over one day, they're a hoot to watch..

I knew I had seen that face before.
I had to chase him/her/it out of the company dumpster once.
People were afraid to throw trash in it. (on it)
I used a four foot 2by4 as a persuader.
I can be pretty persuasive with a club.

Nasty looking thing.

Sorta glad it was not a picture of Jerry.
