The Mayor's Linkie Love

I'm sure most of you have heard that Patrick Swayze has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and has been given five weeks to live. That is terribly sad news. It doesn't get any worse than pancreatic cancer, that's for sure.

I like Patrick, not because of his acting skills, they leave a lot to be desired, but because he wasn't a typical Hollyweird idiot. For instance, and I may be wrong about this, but Swayze hasn't been in any drug or booze scandals. He hasn't crashed his car while strung out, or had an affair on his lovely wife. He's certainly not an attention whore and he has never publicly denounced America as the land of greed and evil. Hell, to the best of my knowledge, he hasn't once compared GWB to Hitler. Therefore, Swayze is okay in my books.

I can hardly imagine what he and his family are going through, but I wish them nothing but the best and I hope his last five weeks on this earth are peaceful one's.

On a scale of 10, today's Linkie Love scores a solid 7.5. That's a B+ according to the Mitchievillian Public School system grading guidelines. And let's face it, if you're an A student, you're probably kind of nerdy, if you're a D student you leave a lot to be desired. But a B+ student, EVERYONE wants to have dirty sex with you.

Let's git 'er started!

Morphing your face and a celebrities face can be awfully fun. Although I haven't done it, and I know not of another soul in the universe that has done it, I'm still pretty confident that it would be fun. Let me know if you try it, I'm bi-curious. No, wait!

I've seen this before, but Merv Griffin's tagline on his tombstone says, "I will not be right back after this message". That's funny stuff, in a morbid but self-deprecating way.

These pictures of cougars that I have just seen are, by far, the most impressive cougar pictures ever. And, I'm not talking about pictures of middle-aged women macking on college boys, I'm talking about the actual animal that isn't quite as vicious.

Out of all the Linkie goodness I have given today, this panoramic view of the Queen Victoria docked in the Sydney Harbour is the most beautiful. I've been to Sydney and it is gorgeous. I've traveled on the Queen Victoria and it was fantastic. Yet I have never been on the Queen Victoria when it has docked in the Sydney Harbor. Boo hoo for me.
