Saturday evening Price is Right! links

Bob was a national treasure that evokes memories of a happier time.

 

Bob Bill Barker

 

Bob was an American icon. How many people remember he started on Truth or Consequences?

 

 

As an animal rights activist, Bob sees this story from the fishes point of view.

 

The Truth or Consequences stint lasted 18 years. And then it was on to The Price is Right.

 

Bob had it goin’ on.

 

Bob isn’t sure the price is right here, but he would approve.

 

 

Bob retired in 2007, but that didn’t take him away from the limelight. We will always have his cameo in Happy Gilmore.

 

 

Maybe replace the rooms full of autosucks with actual women. Don’t go looking for that. Srsly, you don’t want to know. Bob would have approved of the trend.

 

And now, Bob is hosting that great game show in the sky. RIP, bitch.

 

Dicks out for Harambe Bob.

    He was part of the fabric of our lives.
    You have to imagine the soap opera music.

  2. milo

    OK. Leo Rojas makes me want to slap the piss out of some people west of me.
    I’ve heard the same thing from the Celtic producers. It’s getting tiresome.
    Whistle. Yay.
    Where does it go when you get in your M3?

    • milo

      And yes, I’m testy. It was 103 here today and the humidity was “cloying”. I learn new words when needed.

  3. KK, Non-Man

    Bob Barker was every school sick day for me.

    • UnCivilServant

      And snow days.

      Not sure if you were in an area that got snow days.

      • KK, Non-Man

        Not in MN & VT when I was a little kid. Many more in high school in CT, but by then I wasn’t interested/capable of sleeping well past the broadcast time of TPIR

    • Mojeaux

      Bob Barker, a couch, saltines, and Sprite.

      • KK, Non-Man

        That’s the one…the Sprite was flat (purposefully)

      • rhywun

        the Sprite was flat

        JFC

      • Ted S.

        Some people have the good taste not to like carbonated beverages.

      • rhywun

        I knew you would chime in with the same outrageously wrong opinion.

      • KK, Non-Man

        I love carbonation. But the going wisdom of my Ma’s generation was you don’t give bubbles to a kid with an upset tummy

      • rhywun

        Ahh. I never heard of that.

      • R C Dean

        Can confirm.

      • Not Adahn

        The wisdom here was exactly the opposite — inducing burping would relieve the pressure that the tummy troubles was causing.

      • Mojeaux

        No, we had ours spicy.

        That said, I don’t mind flat pop. I don’t really care for carbonation at all.

      • rhywun

        I love bubbles. My biggest gripe with Mountain Dew is that it’s too flat – and they don’t sell it in six-packs around here.

        This will change when I have easy access to a Wegmans in a few weeks.

      • Spudalicious

        7-Up. Carbonated.

    • Ted S.

      Better than ass cracks.

      • Not Adahn

        That really depends on who’s ass crack, doesn’t it?

  4. KK, Non-Man

    How did it go from 88 at 6pm to 93 at 6:30?

    • JaimeRoberto (carnitas/spicy salsa)

      Climate change. Duh.

  5. rhywun

    impaled by stingray while wading at beach

    And people still go to the beach for “fun” despite everything there wanting to kill you. Even the water itself. SMDH.

  6. rhywun

    Bob isn’t sure the price is right here, but he would approve.

    “SF is so expensive I had to move to Solano County to find something affordable.”

    “I want to build thousands of homes in Solano County.”

    “No! Build them somewhere else.”

  7. Shpip

    Bob was an American icon.

    I’m just impressed by how close he got to 100 without going over.

    • Sean

      😂😂

    • Trigger Hippie

      *wild applause, tosses garlands*

    • rhywun

      😮🫡

    • DEG

      🙂

    • MikeS

      Shpip wins the internet for the week

      • Zwak , “There is infinite amount of hope in the universe… just not for us.”

        MikeS, got my little mill. This one isn’t mine, obvs, but this is what I got: http://www.lathes.co.uk/barkermiller/

      • MikeS

        That looks really cool. Those small machines a super cool. One day I’d like to get into something like that.

  8. Mojeaux

    Going for BBQ to a place I have not yet been. It’s 80F, wind chill 82F. Fucker cooled >20* between yesterday and today.

    Oh. Also, HI NEPH!!!!

    • Trigger Hippie

      Slaps is the next place I need to check out.

      • Mojeaux

        Slaps is lovely but you have to get there before about 2p because they close when they run out of food.

    • milo

      Lucky. It was 103 here earlier.
      I’m hoping that cooler front comes down this way.

    • rhywun

      OMG dude. Pun overload.

      That said, I think I’m off beef after seeing the thing.

      • Ted S.

        I thought you were into sausage, anyway.

      • rhywun

        Why not both?

      • Ted S.

        You swing both ways?

    • Shpip

      You have to go to the linked New York Post article to see a pic of the offending steak.

      That’s one sad looking piece of beef.

      • Sean

        Euros have terrible steaks, apparently.

      • Spudalicious

        European beef sucks.

      • KSuellington

        Yup, at least the NL and Ireland have fairly crappy beef in comparison to the US. Pork and diary are both great tho.

      • Spudalicious

        They excel at dairy. Especially runny, unpasteurized cheese. At least they used to, before the EU cracked down on things that taste good.

      • UnCivilServant

        Cheese should be able to retain its shape when placed on a level surface.

      • Spudalicious

        You are missing much in the world of cheese.

      • UnCivilServant

        You misspelled “Flavored Dairy Spread”

      • UnCivilServant

        I’m sure it is fantastic, but it hasn’t quite made it over the line to cheese.

      • Not Adahn

        I’m sure it is fantastic, but it hasn’t quite made it over the line to cheese.

        The opposite, it’s gone way past the line. It was a blander solid cheese before the wee beasties started an extra ferment step.

      • rhywun

        I’d have to be sauced to eat that gnarly hack of beef.

      • Gustave Lytton

        Explains sauerbraten too.

    “Any developer who had any sense at all would not have spent four years secretly buying up land and suing local landowners,” he said. “They would have spent four years working with local community interests to develop a proposal that is beneficial to the communities and the state.”

    My palm. Grease it.

  10. DEG

    “We are proud to partner on a project that aims to deliver access to good-paying jobs, affordable housing, clean energy, sustainable infrastructure, open space, and a healthy environment to residents of Solano County,”

    Sounds like someone is trying to sell something.

    • Suthenboy

      And everyone gets a free pony.

      After dudebro gets his tax breaks and matching funds he will disappear like smoke in the wind.

      • Spudalicious

        I lived in that area for many years. It’s not exactly desirable land, that’s why there’s an AF base there. The dudebro is currently suing the ranchers for overvaluing their land, in the hopes they can pick it up for pennies on the dollar in a judgement, or forcing them to settle because of ruinous legal fees.

      • rhywun

        I should sue my landlord for “overvaluing” my rent. 🙄

      • Zwak , “There is infinite amount of hope in the universe… just not for us.”

        Spud is right, I lived in Vacaville for a few years, and most of Solano county is a shit hole, with Fairfield being about the worst of it.

  11. Suthenboy

    Autosucks?
    You are right. I dont want to know.

    Take one toe and put it in the water off of the beach and you have entered a wilderness, aworld where all of our notions of a civilized, developed world do not apply.

    • groat scotum

      If that’s a veiled criticism of Autodesk, I will hear it and agree with it.

      • MikeS

        I’ll second the motion.

  12. Evan from Evansville

    My rapid improvement proceeds apace. I went about a half-mile walk today. I can almost walk w/o the need for crutches. I make sure that I don’t do it.

    The Kroger gig likely fell through. For the best. Just gotta find a place with a legit office, a gig where I have a physical responsibility to be there. We shall see what I can scavenge and scrap together.

    I hope y’all goeth well. Tomorrow will be better than today, ev. You’ll do your best to see that come true.

    • Sean

      Dude. Keep on being a fighter, FR.

  13. Homple

    Price is Right guy just died? Bill Cullen passed away in 1990.

    • rhywun

      He didn’t say “Password Guy”.

  14. The Bearded Hobbit

    Those of us with onions in our belts recall the days of Bill Cullen on The Price is Right.

    • The Bearded Hobbit

      And the instant after posting I see Homple’s comment.

        You’re old. We understand. 😛

  15. DEG

    Instead of browsing GunBroker after drinking… I should be working on my FreedomFest article.

    • Suthenboy

      Gunbroker…alcohol. There is a recipe for trouble.
      I was one drink away from my coveted win 94 20” barrel, full length magazine chambered in 444 marlin once.

      *sigh*

      • DEG

        I found a couple rare Mosin variations which might or might not be legitimate.

        Plus a reproduction De Lisle Carbine, which the seller seems to be describing as legitimate but with a non-functional suppressor. Hmm….

        The only thing I bid on was a case of GP-11 with the current high bid plus shipping at less than $1/round. I haven’t seen GP-11 that cheap in a long time. I put in a bid, we’ll see what happens.

  16. Gustave Lytton

    No puppies today. Farm emergency at the litter home so tomorrow.

    Added another camera to the deep state’s network today. Wife can watch the driveway from the other side of the house now.

  17. westernsloper

    I thought Truth or Consequences was a town in NM?

    • Gender Traitor

      Per Wiki:

      The city changed its name from Hot Springs[7] to Truth or Consequences as the result of a radio show contest. In March 1950, Ralph Edwards, the host of the popular NBC Radio quiz show Truth or Consequences, announced that he would air the program on its 10th anniversary from the first town that renamed itself after the show; Hot Springs officially changed its name on March 31, 1950, and the program was broadcast from there the following evening.

  20. Brochettaward

    Does anyone remember the Fyre Festival? It’s back….in pawg form.

    And it already supposedly sold out its first round of tickets. Because people are very slow learners.

    • Brochettaward

        Damn, you had my interest there.

      And one of the photos has a rider wearing a mask. Blech.

    • rhywun

      An entitled New York City subway straphanger ruined the ride for dozens of other commuters when he ________
