Putter.

Someone stole Bob's putter and then returned it out of shame. And then Bob made the very first inspiration put after getting it back.

You're still going to hell buddy, you stole Bob's putter. And besides, The Creator is a PIR fan. I bet he's money on the showcase showdowns.

PLINKO!!!!!

So I don't think they've played this today, but they had a dog up for adoption in LA county named Plinko. A cute little black lab pup. So, all you LA readers, go to your local shelter and pick up Plinko, or another friendly companion of the like.

Also someone just won ten dollars on PIR. That's got to be a record.

Getting on to the Million Dollar Special, I don't think the producers wanted to toss a million dollars to the public without some return and with Bob Barker no longer presiding I'm sure they were trying to pinch pennies. That or people just suck at PIR.

It's really the wheel, but someone somewhere has to have that wheel down. I'm sure a full scale model exists in some pole barn in Montana and Jeb's morning routine is at least a hundred spins with coffee. Just enough to keep up the skills while waiting to win on scratch off's so he can afford the plane ticket.

Maybe.

Anyway, if you didn't catch last night, you didn't miss much. A lot of cars and crazy prices, but I wish they had a parade or something.

Also, tonight is a tribute to Bob Barker, just in case you were wondering, till that day.

Million Dollar Showcase!!!

Except the channel is on set to America's Next Top Model... O.K. we're fine.

Back to a showcase devoted to Bob's past, mentioning a town my car broke down in on the way to Cali.

Dude is bidding way low.

Gal, you're up...

She basically did the one dollar over move, we'll see how it holds up.

And he's over, meaning I shouldn't play this game seriously, or stake my life on it.

More updates soon.

Don't call it a comeback...

... We've been here for years.

Two winners, a car a piece.

A now some woman has a "will neuter for plinko chips" shirt.

What will the showcases hold? I bet the moon alice, the moon.

Half Million Losers, a 1/2 time update

Million dollar special minute twenty-six.

And not one winner. A Dodge Viper, a Lincoln, a million dollars, and no winners.

Sure some girl got a motorcycle, a gemstone, but as for a last million dollar special...

well we're only halfway through.

Actual Retail Price is...

Bob just got kissed by a man. I've fallen victim of inattentiveness. And the actual retail price is....

First off, this guy on stage as I type is wearing a "bob I need a job" shirt and I'm wishing I'd thought of it first. He blew his chances when he kissed Bob I reckon. Bob, from all my sources*, likes the ladies. At this point I think he'd be happy being a CBS janitor, or as some refer; a workman.

Also, as some of you may have noticed, my blog is ripe with errors, grammitical and informational. I apologize, I'm not as s.m.r.t. as I would have lead you all to believe. Please let me know if I need to clarify anything. I could make excuses, but I've got a beer to finish.

And the actual retail price is.... a Million Dollars. That's a lot of McDonald's dollar snack parfaits. A lot. Like over a thousand. And that's what one lucky soul could possibly win on Bob's last primetime spectacular.

Last? That's like saying Leonard Skynard will have a final concert. We all know that Leonard Skynard will be doing the state fair circut well into the year of our (or my) lord 2172. Bob's last? or is it?

Have fun peeps, I'll see you all soon.

A million dollars.

This wednesday a million dollars Price is Right spectacular! That's tomorrow folks [edit; this is 5/16/07 and thurday 5 /17/07, unemployment has my days a bit off] sorry for the late post, but I thought you would want to know. You will also note that this may coincide with LOST, which would be a non-point. I like The Show (I may actually start calling The Price The Show, as if no other exists) but a Dharma background is too tempting. I hope your on before ten Bob.

On Thursday however there is a 50 year Bob Barker tribute. Surely St. Peter is going to hear about this.

Today on The Show, regretfully, I noticed it's slipping.

Hey, wait a minute.... cut it out. ( Someone is throwing stones at the studio, hold on I have to call security.)

..

..

..

Now, please, if I didn't bring you the truth I'd be a sniveling booster. Nothing more than a CBS run newpaper acting more like a brochure. So I must with any integrity toward broadcast or blogcast standards tell you the downs as well as the ups, it's a roller coaster baby hang on.

So first the big wheel wasn't making it's regular clicking noise and I guess this isn't an apocalyptic failure, no one is getting fired. But if you wake up listing for that sound like a melodic morning parakeet or a lover's gentle kiss, you tend to miss it. (I'm not saying this is me, I'm just saying there's probably at least one person out there right, it's a big world.)

Second Bob didn't fully explain a game today, it was a simple error and he corrected himself. The crowd was shouting and a nervous contestant could've missed it. I believe it to be the cause of loss. But he was on screen with Bob and Bob was maybe just nervous because of the future.

We'll forgive you, but if this is how they're going to run it when your gone, I might have to find another 'The Show.'

I don't know what though. Someone just won both showcases, thirty-one dollars off. Round of applause, I'll talk to you all soon.

What dos thou bid?

Morning, it's me again, first day of what a friend refers to as early retirement. I didn't have to go to work today, which allows me a certain amount of face time with my television.

(editor's note; imagine a pearly gate scene where St. Peter is reading through my dossier and trying to make the idol judgment call, "well carson, you did get a bit carried away with that whole PIR thing a bit back.")

I should be doing something productive; filing for unemployment, setting up my new computer, laundry, beach, cleaning. But please, I'll have plenty of time for all of that.

Really I want to see this girl win...... A NEW CAR!!!

But it's a ford, so maybe I don't care too much.

She's not going to win anyway, she relies on the crowd too much, thinks society is going to pull her through, and that's faith ladies and gentlemen. Did it work, no, why would it? Half the fun of gambling is losing, well 51% if your lucky, and PIR goes the same way, it's just as fun (if not more fun) to see them lose. It falls under the whole, 'How would you appreciate the sun without the night" theory.

("I didn't mean it Peter, it was a joke, something I did more for my amusement than others, I mean Bob's not really God is he? Cause if he is I don't want him to hold any of this against me. I like old people and puppies. I swear. And I never said anything about the old man that was intentionally hurtful. Never.")

I'll leave you with some questions, (,not are you going to make it into heaven, that one's a humdinger. )

First, are they going to change the commercial format once these baby boomer's kick? Like Mickey's 40s for the college crowd, or anti-depressants rather than supplements.

Second, where's the after party? Because I think that would also be a humdinger.

And lastly, what's the best Price prize you can possibly think of? I'm going to make a list, and I bet mine is better than yours. I'll bet a personalized PIR against a faked comment about me going to George Clooney's party last night.

Until then, stay flossy.

Flossy, flossy.

Patience Please

I'm sorry for the lack of posting. I was in transition from a job to not having a job. I have no job as I type and listen to the wonderful sound of the "Big Wheel" on the television next to me.


Not today, but soon, I will post a plethora of PIR posts. I will continue such traditions as 'retirement scenarios' and 'minute by minute' updates, possibly even the second coming of the comic strips ala PIR.

But I have to run today, wont finish watching The Price unfortunately and therefor cannot blog much more on the subject today. Wait until next week, I promise I'll post then.

Til that time enjoy the sunshine, your family / friends, and everything else that makes this such a wonderful world. (Imagine Louis signing it, it even sounds wonderful.)

Peace Ya'll.
