Better yet, picture him in a deep gravelly voice, “Well, punk, for you it looks like the price is wrong.”

Didn't Bob Barker also shell out big bucks to buy the eco-terrorists a state-of-the-art pursuit boat with which to harass corporations for legal activities?

Sound like 'ol Bob is a bit confused.

I have a great aunt and uncle who are in their late 80’s and still going strong. They mow their own yard, clean their own house and commute to Florida each winter.

Like Bob, both are skinny as a rail.

If that’s the secret to longevity I’m doomed.

If he passes away (not wishing that on him, though at 86 it would be no tragedy), will they count it as a gun-related death?

I’d have been a lot more sympathetic in the days before I learned he was bankrolling low-level terrorism and piracy.

Gee, I hope whatever they use to treat him was never tested on animals!

LOL! I had a great uncle, a Catholic priest, who passed away several years ago at age 93. He had been a missionary in the 1940’s and 50’s and had picked up a tobacco chewing habit while overseas. When he passed away New York State listed “tobacco use” as a contributing cause of death!

I had a great aunt who died at age 115 in the 90’s. She may have been thin when she died but for most of her life she was chunky, not obese, just a little plump. Kinda like me. :D

He had a pirate ship named after him (I assume he donated or financed it). I hope the Jap whalers sink it!

Disclaimer: I am not in favor of whaling, but I favor far left piracy even less.

***I always knew I liked that guy.***

And when he wasn’t supporting Animal rights groups he was diddling his assistants on THE PRICE IS RIGHT.
