The Fark thing was hilarious! My favorites were the “VanHalenThal” and “Queer Eye for the Wrath of God!” Val looks great, Eddie has been dead for 5 years, apparently. ---

Two things popped into my head when I saw the picture: 1. I know what I’m dressing up as for Halloween. 2. I wish I had kids, so that when they got out of line, I could show them Eddie’s pic and tell them that if they didn’t behave the bogeyman would get them! ---

Nut _sack_, Eddie, what the _hell_? I never thought he was hot to begin with, but _jesus_, man. It’s like looking at a fatal traffic accident. ---

[Mickey Rourke](http://z.about.com/d/horror/1/0/H/6/Mickey-Rourke72A.jpg) has had something very bad happen to his face, too. He doesn’t look as frightening as Eddie, until you look at an old picture of what was a [very cute man.](http://www.awfulplasticsurgery.com/archives/000344.html) (From [Awful Plastic Surgery](http://www.awfulplasticsurgery.com/), one of my favourite web sites for morbid curiosity.
