Very sad news. We will always remember him every December as we queue up Nakatomi Plaza again.

It was becoming apparent that something was wrong when he started cashing in as much as possible.

Flip. Awful disorder, that.

I wasn't even aware of his aphasia diagnosis.

He once wore a very offensive sign.
Maybe he can blame the dementia.

I don't care much for Hollywood teapots, but do not wish sickness, pain or suffering on anyone. Strongs to him and the family.

Bruce is a legend, all the absolute best.

At least he has something to blame it on. What is your excuse.

I have never worn any sign.
Also my name is Joe Biden.

Perhaps you were, but then you forgot?
I hate to say it ... but it is time for that test, @now05ster.

Supraphysiologic-dose anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) use is associated with physiologic, cognitive, and brain abnormalities similar to those found in people at risk for developing Alzheimer's Disease and its related dementias (AD/ADRD),


Sad news though

 

[Jam Sandwich]

Not my favourite actor but its always sad to read of someone getting dementia...
My dad had it and we all suffered for a good few years before the end.
Its a terrible disease that takes its time.
