That's right, Bob Barker's final show of The Price is Right airs next Friday, June 15th at 11am and then replays at 8pm on CBS.

Many of us grew up with Bob on weekday mornings, bringing us the next item up for bids, making holes in one, and handing out Plinko chips.

After 35 years on the show and 50 years on TV overall, Bob is finally turning in his skinny little microphone.

Thanks for the memories Bob.

We'll all control the animal population and have our pets spayed or neutered.

So long.

    Bob Barker beat up Adam Sandler.

    He then woke up and made himself bacon.

    As a retirement gift, CBS is bronzing two of Barker's Beauties and placing them as statues in his bedroom.

    I bet Bob Barker nailed the Barker's Beauties on that little putting green for the Hole In One game. I'm sure he put it in the number 2 hole.

    Little-known fact: When they were doing the promo run-up for Happy Gilmore, Adam Sandler was a guest "beauty" on The Price is Right. I don't know if they advertised it or not, but I just happened to catch it (probably because my girlfriend at the time was super into TPiR...she even used "iheartbarker" as her email password).

    Seriously, I see some of those games and wonder how the hell you could possibly win. Like the pathfinder one where you have to find the right path and if you do, you win a new car. I have never seen anyone win that game.

    When someone proofreads your paper, they don't write in full sentences pointing out the mistakes. There's just red ink with cross-outs, underlines, single words, and shorthand.

    Yeah, but i'm not writing an essay, I am posting on a message board that is full of cock jokes. I hardly think every post I make should be scrutinzed for spelling and grammar errors.
