I like Bob Barker as much as anyone, but why is it that it seems everytime he hiccups, it generates a huge thread?

I don't mean that literally of course ..:)

Most likely, it's because most Barker news involves one of two things: whatever legal trouble he's gotten himself into now, or a flexing of his ginormous ego.

Then some commentary follows, then the TPiR fanbois chime in with some asinine justification and how BARKER'S STILL THE MAN WOOOOOOOOOO OMG LOL!!!!!111!!!111ONEHUNDREDELEVEN

Then the flame war ensues.

It would be kinda like, oh, I dunno, if someone piped up and said that everyone here should be more like Zach Horan. :)

Well, let's see what I can do...

Zach Horan made a pointless minutia post on UseNet on July 17, 1997 in regards to the 25th anniversary of TPiR. I don't recall if he was flamed.

How was that?

Getting back to the humorous idea of our honorable Mr. Lemon hosting Price...add me as his sad foil, and the hilarity would abound...

Chris: Hey Fred Roggin's only fan?
Me: Oh, you had to bring that up again!
Chris: Put down that Poppycock, and fetch me a fanboi!
Me: I've got the ultimate one, Chris...IRIS MASON!  COME ON DOWN!  You're the next contestant on the...Price...is...Right, and what the...

(Irismason stands up as if he was a contestant in the 127th Upperclass Twit of the Year competition and starts walking out of the studio.)

Chris: Wow.  Just wow.  What a twit.

Then I'd intro some sort of Spam involved IUFB leading to a chorus of...yeah.

OK, I'm probalby rehashing old arguments, and I don't have the benefit of being a game show insider.  What I do realize is that Barket is the executive producer of the show, and he'll go out on his own terms, health permitting.  If  his health doesn't permit and if he can have a role in determining his successor, he'll do it.  So what if he signed a five-year contract?  What's the point of this pissing contest over when he'll really call it quits?  Sheesh!

You wanna argue over something else that is meaningless?  I'll give you a topic.   Debate amongst yourselves whether my beard is made of spinach.  Go. Discuss.
