Now, to get back to FUN...

Before going into last week's Barkerisms, two things that'll be coming up this week:

1. Probably the longest Barkerism post in history, thanks to the fact we get SIX episodes this week (including a previously unaired Million Dollar Spectacular Tuesday night at 8 pm), not to mention the fact some of the off-camera Barkerisms will be included, as production 3531K aired yesterday (which, like 3475K, are the only two episodes in history to have Her Madgesty in attendence)

2. At some point in the next day or so, I'll type up my look back at the games themselves from Monday's episode (which, while we didn't have another $63,000 showcase, we did see both car games won and plenty of fun).

"You notice the applause was a little more enthusiastic than normal today? Must be the tie. You like the tie? Look at the cufflinks, they came with the tie. They were a gift from my friend Rich!" - Bob, on the enthusiastic greeting from the audience

"I don't want to embarass you, but those three bid faster than you did by yourself!" - Bob, on Heather taking forever to bid

"The nurse is back there, isn't she? I think she's cracking up!" - Bob, after Stacy was called on down and went nuts

"Yes, that's right everyone. AND IT'S STACY! WOOO HOOO! YEAH!!!! WOOO!!!!!!" - Bob, after Stacy got up on stage, pointed to Bob and screamed "IT'S BOB BARKER, EVERYONE!"

"And will you find me another Stacy, please?" - Bob, before the next item up for bids after Stacy's game

"Three years old, and watching The Price Is Right. Your twins are growing up the right way!" - Bob, giving his parenting seal of approval to Patty

"Now, ladies and gentlemen, you may think they didn't do so well. But just imagine how much worse they would've done without all that help!" - Bob, after Stacey and Glenda both went over on their showcases, despite help from relatives

"Arzie, you keep that up, and she's going to slug you any minute! She actually doubled-up her fist there for a second..." - Bob, warning Arzie to be careful after he bid $1,501 to Belinda's $1,500

"She's saying such sweet things that let's just go ahead and forget this game. Keep going!" - Bob, after Belinda won her way up on stage and kissed up to Bob

"This is an educational show, you see!" - Bob, after Rich explained what NewPhase suppliment was to Gloria

"Then that makes you a number one guy!" - Bob, after Kevin said his #1 reason for coming to California was to go to The Price Is Right

"I hate to do this, since you're a number one guy, but I need that last dollar!" - Bob, reminding Kevin that he needed the last dollar from Lucky Seven so Kevin can "buy" the car

"I just noticed this shirt, it says 'Vote for Pedro'. My first question was 'Who is Pedro?'. But I see where she crossed it out and wrote 'Bob'. Now you have a much better chance of winning your way up on stage!" - Bob, on Brenda's out of place "Vote For Pedro" shirt

"And the sad thing is when she's 60 she'll be saying 'My dad still pays for it!'" - Bob, after Kelli said her father pays for college, during his lead-up to 1/2 Off (where contestants play for $10,000)

"I know you feel sorry for poor Kelli, but remember: She still has ol' dad!" - Bob, after Kelli lost 1/2 Off (with a 50/50 chance to win)

"One of you has bid exactly right, and will get a $500 bid.. A $500 bill. $500 for your bid is what I'm trying to say. And I'll bet you it's not Brenda!" - Bob, pretty sure that navigation systems do not cost $1!

"I hope Fred enjoys this after I had so much trouble saying what it was!" - Bob, after turning "$500 bonus" into a tongue twister

"You better say hello to your dad!" - Bob, when Kelli wanted to say hello to some people while spinning the wheel, and didn't say hi to her father

"We're halfway through today's show, and I'd like to remind you that we still have Brenda, Suzanne, and Lindsay in Contestant's Row. I hope you don't think you're going to be paid scale for your appearances!" - Bob, giving the three "leftovers" the business!

"Those women are all Navy wives. And with them is one very worried looking sailor!" - Bob, hinting that things may not be so PG tonight!

And our (two-quote) Barkerism of the week?

"Now, I used to make an inspirational putt from way back here. But now it's just a putt.. I've fallen on bad times. Not very inspiring anymore!" - Bob, mourning his recent putting problems on Hole In One

Well, before the second quote, I have a special guest speaker who'd like to say a few things to our great host about his recent putting woes...

"You know what's driving me crazy? You, not getting the ball in the hole!" - Bob Barker, "Happy Gilmore"

"This guy sucks!" - Bob Barker, "Happy Gilmore"

"Alright.... Barker! Nice... And easy.... That was not nice and easy!"

"I can't believe you're a professional golfer. I think you should be working over at the snack bar. I can't believe that you're any worse at hockey than you are at golf!" - Bob Barker, "Happy Gilmore"

"You know, I've been having trouble with one foot, it's bothering me a lot. And my back is bothering me. This shoulder is bothering me a little bit... So if I don't make this putt, I want you to know I'm putting under duress!" - Bob, just before his inspirational putt... Which he made!

(By the way: Last Thursday's episode, where they played Hole In One, was taped two days before my second trip to see TPIR. A woman in the audience asked Bob how his golf game was doing, and Bob had said he finally made a putt the other day, and he hoped it was the start of a streak. So, I knew he would finally sink one - but the whole thing about putting under duress made it pricesless!)
