Come on down!

The balancing act that I perform to snap a shot of what I think is cool or interesting about my job isn't always easy. Hmm, actually I wouldn't want it to be too easy. Once in a while though, I like a day when it's almost just a matter of point and shoot.

Like today. This post could practically write itself.



I'm not expecting anybody to care about the details, but today was the taping of the first show of the 35th season of the game show "The Price is Right".

We interviewed the distinguished Bob Barker himself on the set after the show taping was over. Come on, that in itself was pretty cool, but I don't think anyone is going to care.



See, I got pictures of the girls who point at stuff during the show. Yeah, they point at stuff during the show.

Man, what a cool job. . .um, I'm actually talking about mine, but I'm sure their job is cool too.

Darn, I know there's an official title for the girls. I just can't remember what it might be. I do know their next job application is likely going to need something more than just, pointed at stuff on TV, under previous employment.

I think they've also got a nickname. Like "Barker's Beauties" or something like that.



See, the thing is, I don't think anybody is still reading. At this point you're all just looking at the girls. I could be writing anything here and it wouldn't matter.

Yadda, yadda, yadda. Blah, blah. I'm not wearing pants!



Yup. I'm thinking I could be writing one of the most riveting commentaries of my entire blogging career, but nobody will ever know.



Oh look, now you're reading again. That's just wrong. Can we focus for just a moment and consider the. . .hey, scroll back down here!



Forget it. I'm just going to walk away and try again tomorrow. You can't fight nature.

BTW, my sincere congrats to Bob Barker (and the girls).

Gameshows might be dismissed as a pretty basic form of entertainment, but it serves a purpose. It's a simple thing that makes people happy. Good on them, I don't want to find fault in that.

Shucks, as a blogger I don't want to be that guy in the glass house throwing that stone.

Hey, I'm still writing! (sigh)
