Show some respect: It's Mickey Rourke's Birthday!

[Bones McHorror]

He's 68 today. Just one year younger than our own Gary Blanchard.

And still living his best life.

His face is much younger than that.

What happens when you decide to be a fighter and use your face to protect your hands, then get a shitload of plastic surgery.
Happy Birthday you wacky motherfucker.

Happy Birthday you wacky motherfucker.

That’s the story anyways. His face has changed several times since his fighting days. The big old Italian geezer nose is the latest addition.

Anyone who spent time meeting with killer John Gotti in prison because he can’t tell the difference between his make believe acting career and reality . . . has major issues.

Happy Birthday you wacky motherfucker.

He looks like a buffed up David Carradine who accidentally went out in his girlfriend’s clothes.

 

[Honkridge]

Probably a fun guy to hang with. But nutty.

Remember when this was light hearted humor?
Wait, what?

When I was a teenager I was obsessed with the film Angel Heart. I used to bunk off school with a couple of buddies and we would watch and rewatch Angel Heart and engage in underage boozing. Must have watched it 30 times.

We were in a band and really into The Gun Club, The Cramps, CCR, The Birthday Party, and being all 'voodoo swampy'. Suffice to say our 'crow feather in the headstock', hoodoo nonsense didn't exactly convince or capture the hearts and minds of small town Northern Ireland.

But anyhow, it's left me with a nostalgic affection for Mickey Rourke.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
