19/365 Bob Barker
He closes every show with an appeal to neuter and spay. I wrote a limerick and mailed it. (“Bob, you need a new spiel.”) He loved it. He read it on camera. The audience loved it. I didn't see it.

Ha! I bet my grandmother heard it! She used to gaze at the televison and at the close of every show would say: That Bob Barker - he's immaculate!
It's still a family joke - this brought back a flood of memories.
(Dang! You missed it!)
Immaculate is a good word for him. And a nice guy, I bet.
The show had called to tell me when the poem would be read. My family and I set our VCRs. But no poem that day. I called the show. They said, "Oh, we had to change the date because Bob changed his hair." That's Hollywood for you, right? Then I asked if they could send me a tape of that episode since I had missed it. They said, "Sure--if you send us $400." Yup, that's Hollywood.
Susan is famous! :-)
I really like him ... he is a good friend to animals.
"Oh, we had to change the date because Bob changed his hair"
That's funny.
$400?
That's pathetic.
Maybe you'll post the limerick!?
Yes, yes pls. post the limerick...maybe for St Paddy's Day? He does have nice hair but doesn't everyone in Hollywood.
Sure. I'll post it on my other blog, Sweet Rocket. (Click my picture for a link.) It's probably not 40 words. :-)
