Favorite line - "It was our idea to name it the Bob Barker. He's a little too humble for that".

"...its new 1,200-ton anti-whaling ship The Bob Barker."

Which will soon be joined by Greenpeace's 120,000 ton class 3 warship, the Bob Barker's Ego.

(C'mon, Bob doesn't need this.  He has a Slammy.  He can die a happy man now.)

Craig Ferguson added his comment about this last night, that the Bob Barker would soon be replaced by a shorter, wider ship called the Drew Carey.

Naming the ship after Bob could very likely be the kiss of death for that vessel -- It probably won't take long before the ship goes down (in turbulent waters)...

No, you're thinking of the U.S.S. Dian Parkinson.

Oh yeah, that was an inappropriate relation ship.

But to Bob, it still led to a hardship.

I'm sorry -- Have the transcripts from Bob's trials been made public yet?  'Cause I think I have a poop deck joke written down somewhere around here that might work.

How about a joke about Dian when she played with Bob's dinghy?

I think she should be called a "buoy" because she kept Bobbing up and down, up and down, up and down, etc.

And, she also had docking facilities.

I wonder if her portholes were adequate.
