Just saw him in “Juggernaut”.
To: Olog-hai
I understand he had an incredibly bad gambling problem at one time. Not saying that they are related in anyway. what a shame. What a brutal disease.

He may have been, but his real love in game is BRIDGE.

No, he was a Bridge champion. He wrote or lent his name to the Bridge column of the NY Daily News for many years.
Does he really have Alzheimer's? Confusing where you shot movies doesn't seem too unusual for a man in his 80s.

He must have had a real high IQ. Obama has a 103 IQ. Omar
could still probably beat Obama at chess. Obama’s moves on the battlefield stink.

Obamas moves on the battlefield stink.If you look at it from the perspective that he is supporting the other side, the moves are pretty good.

That’s correct. The woman he converted to Islam for died earlier this year, too.

I wouldn’t wish Alzheimer’s - or any form of dementia, for that matter - on anyone.
I hope Mr. Sharif knows as much peace and comfort as is possible in the years ahead.

From the article:
He is currently spending most of his time in hotels in Eqypt and spends his time relaxing on his terrace after breakfast and listening to live music in the hotel bar at night time.
Good for him!

One of my favorite movies with him was McKenna’s Gold.
I am sorry for anyone with Alzheimer’s. It’s incredibly debilitating and over a long period of time, you suffer. The family suffers. Both suffer financially. Your friends suffer. It’s awful.

Omar is probably still fearsome at the Bridge table.
To: Zenjitsuman
103 is not great... Mensa is 130, IIRC.
