Almost made it to $1.00

As close as he could without going over

[-] wheresmypillow@lemmy.one 22 points 11 months ago

He did not over bid.

Don’t forget to have your pet spayed or neutered.

[-] midori@programming.dev 7 points 11 months ago

Goodbye everybody.

Immediately the first thing I thought of, thx for posting it.

Someone on TikTok said, "He got as close as he could without going over."

[-] steinbring@kbin.social 19 points 11 months ago

I thought that he had passed, a while ago. 99 years is a good run.

Spay and neuter, folks!

[-] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

Spaying and neutering folks would solve a lot of problems.

[-] rob64@startrek.website 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

99; I'd call that closest without going over.

[-] Hyperi0n@lemmy.film 3 points 11 months ago

Yes we all seen the other comments.

Ooof, this hit me right in the childhood.

This is one of those chapter-turning public figure deaths for me. The last one was Betty White, and before that was Robin Williams — almost mythical figures whose names and faces I'd known since before I can remember, who it almost felt like would just always be around.

RIP, Bob. You've earned it.

I feel this is one of those things that is the end of an era. The Price is Right with Bob Barker always reminds me of afternoons at my grandparents' house, and I'm sure it does for a lot of people in my age bracket. He also seemed to be a genuinely nice person. It was always good to hear her was still alive and doing things, and it helped keep that little slice of childhood alive.

The price is wrong, Bitch!

[-] TheWoozy@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

I shall spay and neuter my pets in honor of Bob Barker.

[-] ManosTheHandsOfFate@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Don't stop at your own. Find other people's pets to spay and neuter in Bob's honor.

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

What an amazing long life. We should all be so lucky. RIP

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 11 months ago

Damn... I was rooting for him to get the whole $1.00

[-] ArugulaZ@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago

At least we still have Drew Carey, right?

...

(cries bitter tears)

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

I can't be the only one who thought he'd already passed?

[-] Psythik@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

I thought he died a couple years after leaving the show. I'm happy that he lived long enough to actually enjoy his retirement.
