As close as he could without going over

He did not over bid.

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

Goodbye everybody.

Damn it, came here thinking I was clever and you both beat me to it.

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."

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

Spay and neuter, folks!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Spaying and neutering folks would solve a lot of problems.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year 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 shall spay and neuter my pets in honor of Bob Barker.

[–] ManosTheHandsOfFate 6 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

The price is wrong, Bitch!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

At least we still have Drew Carey, right?

...

(cries bitter tears)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year 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.
