Favorite line - "It was our idea to name it the Bob Barker. He's a little too humble for that".

"...its new 1,200-ton anti-whaling ship The Bob Barker."

Which will soon be joined by Greenpeace's 120,000 ton class 3 warship, the Bob Barker's Ego.

(C'mon, Bob doesn't need this.  He has a Slammy.  He can die a happy man now.)

Craig Ferguson added his comment about this last night, that the Bob Barker would soon be replaced by a shorter, wider ship called the Drew Carey.

Naming the ship after Bob could very likely be the kiss of death for that vessel -- It probably won't take long before the ship goes down (in turbulent waters)...

No, you're thinking of the U.S.S. Dian Parkinson.

But to Bob, it still led to a hardship.

I'm sorry -- Have the transcripts from Bob's trials been made public yet?  'Cause I think I have a poop deck joke written down somewhere around here that might work.

How about a joke about Dian when she played with Bob's dinghy?

I think she should be called a "buoy" because she kept Bobbing up and down, up and down, up and down, etc.

And, she also had docking facilities.

I wonder if her portholes were adequate.
