On a plus side I now have an excuse to not go to the Roadhouse with my girlfriend.

Federal investigators assert that Patrick Swayze's recent airplane crash was probably NOT caused by him being looped to the gills on Pabst Blue Ribbon. Though onlookers claim he appeared intoxicated after climbing out of his downed Cessna, investigators found a broken hose clamp which could have caused the cabin to lose pressure. This along with Swayze's incessant chain smoking, might've been the cause for his erratic behavior, bloodshot eyes, and--if it satisfies my boss--even the empty beer cans found on the plane.

That's rough. Pancreatic cancer is, if not the most, one of the most aggressive cancers. Depending on when they find it, a couple of months is about how long they have left.

Sucks.

And sorry to hear that, Firefly.

Patrick Swayze costars in my favorite movie of all time: Point Break. Seriously. My all-time fave. I could watch it a million times and never get sick of it. And it's interesting - one of the quotes from the movie I use all the time, seems somewhat apropos here:

"If you want the ultimate, you have to be willing to pay the ultimate price."

It's kind of a coincidence that Jeff Healy (who was in Road House with Swayze) just died of cancer, and now it looks like Patrick Swayze will be claimed by the disease.

I didn't realize that Patrick Swayze was 55 though. I thought he was younger.

Technically speaking, it's the correct tense. He WAS 55 on the day of his birthday, now he is older than 55.

I thought he was dead.
