The funniest moment and certainly one of the most memorable moments in Barker "TPiR" History was Janice and the Tennis Ball Machine and Bob made it even more fun when he kidded around w/ Janice a little and causing him to hid behind cameraman Wayne after Janice turns the tennis ball machine towards him.

The Showcases were pretty cool too, each one featured a Car and Victor certainly got lucky, he missed out on the Chrysler Cirrus in Lucky Seven but he got a Plymouth Neon in the showcase round.

Pretty Good Show.
"Say whatever you want to about me, my artwork, etc, I don't really care.
If you don't want me or even like me, then I'm DAMN sure am not gonna let myself want OR
like YOU !"

^ That's my message to all you haters and people who are negative when it comes to me.
