A Big Fat Goodbye To Patrick Swayze
Word round the campfire is that Patrick Swayze died today. He was 57.

While I hate Dirty Dancing as much as the next straight/normal guy, Swayze was all right. He never took himself too seriously and always seemed like a good dude. And it always sucks when cancer takes someone too early.

That said, we can only hope that somewhere, somehow, Swayze saw Chris Farley, exchanged hugs and said "Hey, for old times sake, let's do the Chippendales skit." Farley got all excited, pulled up chairs for Belushi and Hartman and it went something like this:

Chris Farley - Chippendales


And the heavens laughed...

Patrick Swayze -- August 18, 1952 - September 14, 2009

Damn, I hate this.
We, all, knew this was coming because of the seriousness of his illness.
I was so hoping, Swayze, would kick-ass, one more time.

To this man, I give my respect.
Patrick Swayze, you did it right.
You will be missed.

I think its nice that everyone is overlooking the fact that he ran a kiddie porn ring.
O.K, So maybe that wasn't actually Swayze, But more the character he was playing in Donnie Darko, But still, Swayze linked to kiddie porn.
But seriously, Rest easy Swayze.

I guess there won't be a Patrick Swayze Christmas after all.

I wonder how many celebrities are going to die of pancreatic cancer before the rest of the country starts realizing there's little we can do right now to stop it.

Roadhouse was a favorite for me as a kid, and now as an adult it has a campy allure that will never be matched.

And this is one of the most memorable SNL clips. Only Swayze could pull off hair like that!

Having never seen "Dirty Dancing," "Ghost," or "Roadhouse," this SNL sketch has always been my favorite Swayze role, too.

RIP both of these guys, who both seemed to have great senses of humor about themselves.

I think his highlight definitely is Red Dawn.

It terrible to be attacked by your illness at no assured time. Its painful to leave here when youre not ready yet.Patrick Swayze,victim of pancreatic cancer who had just passed away after giving word that his cancer had spread to his liver and that what his doctors told him to countdown to the end. The actor preferred to discontinue taking painkilling drugs while he was making up for his movie "The Beast". Patrick Swayze has been a greatful icon of the entertainment industry, he was that hunky actor who danced his way into moviegoers' hearts with "Dirty Dancing" and then broke them with "Ghost" died after a battle with pancreatic cancer at the age of 57. Death of Patrick really made some sad and bother about it.Family of him, even theyre with enough money spent for the medical treatments of Swayze might ask for emergency help financially.We all come up short every now and again, and that's when we could use a no fax cash advance. There are a myriad of reasons why you could need a no fax cash advance. Maybe you were the victim of a horrific construction accident, and need it to cover a hospital bill like what Patrick's family experienced. Or it could be that the independent contractor that you hired to build a deck forgot to set it on joists, and the whole thing has collapsed. Regardless of reason for needing a no fax cash advance, there are plenty of payday lenders to help you with your need.We hope that there would be Patrick Swayze again in entertainment industry .
