Around SBN: Lakers Should Trade Andrew Bynum So He Doesn't Go To Waste

OT: Patrick Swayze Has 5 Weeks to Live?

It is the National Enquirer so take this with a grain of salt.

Patrick Swayze has five weeks to live, The NATIONAL ENQUIRER has learned.

In a shocking world exclusive, The NATIONAL ENQUIRER has uncovered the devastating news that the beloved Hollywood actor and dancer was diagnosed in late January with pancreatic cancer that has spread to other organs.

Full details are in the print edition of the NATIONAL ENQUIRER that goes on sale tomorrow.

For the past month, Patrick, 55, has been traveling to Stanford University's prestigious cancer center in Palo Alto for radical chemotherapy, but his doctors are no longer optimistic that the treatments will be successful.

Patrick and his wife Lisa Niemi -- who both have pilot's licenses -- have been flying their private Beechcraft plane into Palo Alto's airport, minutes away from the Stanford Cancer Center, where the actor has received outpatient treatment.

He received three doses of chemotherapy and the tumor shrank, but less than his doctors had hoped for -- and Patrick was told he should prepare for the end.

"He was told he could have two more treatments, but his cancer was not responding. In short - they held out little hope for a cure," said an insider.

The man who danced into the hearts of audiences worldwide in the 1980s in Dirty Dancing and then broke them in the poignant love story Ghost in the early '90s has lost more than 20 pounds in the past few weeks and is restricted to a liquid diet because he has trouble keeping down solid food, added the insider.

"It's time to start praying for a miracle."

Awful news...Thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. I really enjoyed him in Ghost, but I will always remember him from this http://www.funnyhub.com/videos/pages/snl-chippendales-dance-off.html

Road House
Jeff Healey died three days ago and now Swayze is on his way out.  Somebody put Sam Elliot on notice.

Sad times for Road House fans.

best... diary... evar
You post 'news' from the national enquirer?..  On a baseball site?..  About an actor of absolutely no relevance?

In related news there is a phone ringing and something happening, somewhere in the world.

by bushe on Mar 5, 2008 12:21 PM CST reply actions  

No relevance?
The SNL skit with Swayze and Farley as Chippendale's dancers is enough to make him relevant.

Not to mention 'Point Break':  "Have you ever shot your gun into the air and yelled 'aaahhhh'?"

You know
I was surprised that any movie with Swayze and Keanu didn't sweep the Oscars.  That Reeves is one brilliant actor.  I really believe him when he says Woah!

Dude
"You post 'news' from the national enquirer?..  On a baseball site?"

Thus the OT in the diary title.  If you don't care about non-baseball topics, don't click and open the OT threads.  It is rather simple.

You reading the National Enquirer
That explains a few things.

No I don't read it...
it's called a link.  You see someone posts a link and you click the link and you read the article.  So if someone sent me the link, it doesn't mean I read the National Enquirer on a regular basis.  This thread was about a person that is terminally ill and you are trying to insult me by saying I read the national enquirer when I don't.

Now don't you have a "Britney Spears was abducted and impregnated by Aliens!!!!!" diary that you should be researching?

Hurry up and get back to us, because, after all, enquiring minds want to know.

If I really wanted to insult you
I'd mock this gem:

"I really enjoyed him in Ghost..."

And please, you've been spewing the ad hominems left and right lately. Not exactly the person to be in the class assessment business. There are plenty of people who I would have kept my mouth shut about, dude, but your obnoxious behavior lately has gotten on my nerves.

If you are going to post stupid diaries in an open forum from worthless sources, you really shouldn't cry foul when someone calls you on it.

disclaimer: This is not a personal attack on anyone.

BTW
I stated in the diary..if you actually read it...to take it with a grain of salt because it came from the Enquirer.  But you probably ignored that and was simply trying to start an altercation with someone, because lets face it there isn't much else going on in your boring life.

Just joshing
I would have loved Ghost.

the thing that got to me was that it seemed like they did so much research about being a bouncer - like buying a crappy car seems brilliant to me.  do bouncers really do that?

Red Dawn
I was a youngster when Red Dawn came out. That movie scared the shit out of me. I thought the commie bastards were going to land on the playground of Montgomery Elementary for weeks after that.

GREAT THREAD
  •  A "your mom" war broke out
  •  Mentions of Road House, Point Break, and Red Dawn
  •  Ghost talk
  •  Sam Elliott mention
  •  Chris Farley talk
  •  And it is all documented by sourcing the Enquirer

well
people is now reporting it and it's on cnn.com so that adds some legitimacy

by ab03 on Mar 5, 2008 7:25 PM CST reply actions  

ah
but upon reading the article, it seems that patrick is responding well to treatment and the initial reports were exaggerated.

so therefore, no legitimacy!
