As you should already know, Bob Barker has taped his last episode of The Price Is Right (set to air this Friday). I guess by the time you're 83 it'd be nice to retire, especially after doing the same show for 35 years (Wikipedia says, "In Judaism when someone reaches 83 they celebrate a second bar mitzvah." Is this true Jews?). Now, there are two problems we face in the absence of Bob Barker:
1. Who will host The Price is Right now?
2. Who will educate the public about spaying and neutering their pets?
Let's talk about question 1. I hear on the radio that Rosie O'Donnell is a front-runner for replacing Bob. Well, I'd be pretty uncomfortable with that. I think most people would. Well good news: according to this article, Rosie isn't one of the possibilities. Instead we have these guys:
1. George Hamilton, the well-known actor from well-known films such as The Godfather: Part III, She's Too Tall, The Little Unicorn, and The Happy Hooker Goes to Washington.
2. John O'Hurley, Mr. Peterman from Seinfeld.
3. Mark Steines, nobody.
Here are my top three choices to replace Bob Barker:
1. Alessandra Ambrosio
2. Adam Sandler
3. Big Bird
'SHUT UP! Enough already, news people! Who cares about Paris Hilton anyway? The girl has only one look, for Christ's sake! Dumb Blonde? Party Girl? Wasted Hooker? They're the same face! Doesn't anybody notice this? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!'
Today is Mary-Kate and Ashley Olson's 21st birthday. I bet they're having an awesome party in LA somewhere. I've got half a mind to drive up there tomorrow and see if I can get in. How come it's always Mary-Kate and Ashley and never Ashley and Mary-Kate?

I liked to watch the Price is Right when I was skipping {cough} sick from school. My favorite game was called Cliff Hangers and it had a little mountain climber who would climb up the mountain accompanied by a yodling song. If he climbed too far, he would fall off the other side and the contestant lost. You can see more information here: Cliff Hangers Game
What is really interesting is that it appears that Bob Barker is the longest most effective gambling Dealer albeit one that gave away a whole hell of a lot of money...so I guess he wasn't such a good dealer from the business point of view.....but he did tell us all about rice-a-roni every day.
