Hope you get through it quickly. Put down the cigs!

Are you sure about that? I would think the cancer is feeling a bit lonesome and abandoned now...

0 ftw. Thanks for the news, Drew. I think about y'all during my day and this is the kind of news that I like to read when I'm online (all that Pakistan tribal area stuff is depressing).

Great news on the margins, Cap'n. Gold for the surgeon, and Rum all round.

Now to keep margins clear, you need new space to doodle. Have wenches bring bodypaint from now on!

[Swox]

Great to hear Drew - thanks for keeping us updated!

Dear Grape Sized Anomaly in CuriousBurb's Lung,

THIS IS HOW WE DO IT ON APPLENOVA.

We don't like your kind in these parts.

Gets the crazy idea you're laughing at him... now if you apologize (like I know you're going to)...

Darth Vader beat Prostate Cancer too

Now, the British actor best known as Darth Vader in the original Star Wars films has become the unlikely hero of a very different campaign. Diagnosed with prostate cancer at the start of the year, Dave Prowse MBE has found himself raising awareness of men's health. "There's this terrible embarrassment," says the former bodybuilder and weightlifter. "You've got to get over to men that there is no embarrassment in going to the doctor and letting the doctor probe around and having a look to see how you are. "It doesn't worry me in the slightest and it shouldn't worry any man."

If it doesn't scare Lord Vader, regular folk should have no excuse not to get tested.

[drewprops]

I had a tip-off that Prowse was fighting prostate cancer from someone who works as an unpaid local assistant whenever he's in town... so glad that he's gone public with it
