Programing Notice
Hey kids, just a quick heads up...
Tomorrow morning at 11am (EST), I will be live-blogging Bob Barker's last episode of The Price is Right here at ZFS!
Why?
Couple o' reasons:
1. I've got the day off and, seriously, what else do I have to do?
and...
2. Bob Barker's been a constant presence in all of our lives for 35 years now; to not send him off in grand, bloggy fashion would be tantamount to shitting on his legacy after eating all day at a 5-Alarm Chili Cook-Off sponsored by Metamucil while at the same time actively not having your pet spayed or neutered (he hates that). Or something to that effect. Look, my point is, he's a legend and TPIR got me through a lot of fake-sick days when I was in Junior High and High School, as I'm sure it did for many of you as well. With his departure imminent, it's time now for all of us to stand up on our desks and do the, "Oh captain, my captain..." thing from Dead Poet's Society. But, you know, instead of a fruity poem, we'll be trying to guess to the nearest dollar the price of some lawn furniture.
Also, I've always wanted to try this whole "live-blogging" thing, but I've until now never found an event that I could watch both within reach of a computer and not completely intoxicated. This is, of course, all assuming that I won't be intoxicated by 11am tomorrow morning. But I'm going to try to remain high and dry, at least for the episode's hour-long run time.
Anyway, that's the scoop. Hope to see you all there!

I hope I'll be able to live comment!
If they don't do Plinko, I'm fire-bombing Bob Barker's house... just sayin'!
PS- Wasn't Rod Roddy from Fort Worth?? If he wasn't, he should've been.
Lioux... If you're not, I'll cry. Just so's ya know.
Scott... I think you're right, actually. About Rod Roddy being from Ft. Worth, not about the fire-bombing. Though I understand; I'll be filled with a rage too if they leave out the Plinko.
Plinko rulez!
Nothing gives me quite so much joy as when people tell me they've had their pets spayed or neutered.
My question is...what's with this whole "you never work on Fridays thing?" I remember the day after the blogger happy hour you got all sassy in the comments to everyone about being at home while we were all left to piece together the night before at our desks at work.
Also, I predict some kind of vicious group attack from all the former Barker's Beauties out in the parking lot after the taping. Wasn't he sued for sexual harassment like 12 times?
One of the few perks on working at this particular office is that we get "Summer Fridays" between the months of June and August. What that means is that, for six fridays during the summer, we don't have to come to work AND we still get paid. It's a sweet deal and a big reason why I haven't left this place yet.
Also, yes, he was sued for sexual harrassment a couple of times, but hey... he's Bob Barker. He does as he pleases.
He was probably framed...women can be really evil, I know, I married one. (a woman- I married a woman, she wasnt evil then, but she turned that way later on) ----anyways for the stupid question of the day, what is "live" blogging and how is it different then plain old vanilla blogging?
i think for the last 15 years or so, it's been a bob barker cyborg. he's the one that sexually harassed all of the models. not the real bb. for he would never do such an evil, evil thing. the real bb is a saint. speak no ill of him. or you will pay.

He will be constantly updating his post as the show is on with his thoughts and humorous observations in real time. I have as well always wanted to try this, but did not think anyone wanted to join in for my live blogging of a rerun of Becker
Don't live blog when your drunk.
I did that during the VMAs and come the next morning, I realized I said some harsh things.
it will be a sad day for america. godspeed bob barker!
Cannot. Wait.
I will totally tune in for that. No so much on the Plinko front, though. Me, I'm a -- what do you call that thing? The Big Wheel of Disappointment? Whatever that thing is, that's the thing that's my thing. That and when people win goats and stuff. I love that so much. "Here's a bunch of goats!"
The sucky thing is, you don't even get to keep the goats. Heh. I love that.
Will you also be bidding on his trademark magical microphone on Ebay?
Bill from Gainsville... I've had women turn evil on me, but then again, I'm not exactly what you'd call Mr. Perfect. I'm more Mr. Good Sense of Humor, But A Total Pain in the Ass When It Comes To Acting Like A Responsible Adult. Which, I believe, is leading cause of women turning evil.
D... No ill will be spoken of The Bob. Well not much, anyway. We'll see how it goes.
Midwesterner... Thanks for getting my back, there. Also, if you'd been live-blogging Becker all along, the show would still be on the air today.
Big Daddy... No fun!
Cajun... If I had a flag, It'd be at half-mast right now.
Ruth... I'll try not to disappoint.
Stewpid... With you on the Wheel of Disappointment, but the "give away a bunch of goats" thing is from Let's Make a Deal, not The Price Is Right. Then again, you not knowing that and me correcting you definitively answers the question, "Who's a bigger loser, Stewpid or C-dog." The answer: C-dog by a country mile.
Beehive... That skinny mic always weirded me out.
oh. Well, that's probably why the old fucker has to retire. Should have given away goats, he'd still have a job.
