'Price Is Right' Announcer Rod Roddy Dies

LOS ANGELES - Rod Roddy, the flamboyantly dressed announcer on "The Price is Right" whose booming, jovial voice invited lucky audience members to "Come on down!" for nearly 20 years, has died. He was 66.

Roddy, who suffered from colon and breast cancer (news - web sites), died Monday at Century City Hospital, according to his longtime agent, Don Pitts. He had been hospitalized for two months.

"He had such a strong spirit. He just wouldn't give up," Pitts said Monday.

Roddy had been ill for more than two years but tried to work as long as he could, said Bob Barker, host of "The Price is Right." Roddy had been with the game show for 17 years.

There was nothing better than staying home from school when one was "sick" and being able to watch the Price is Right and Sale of the Century. Then all those crappy soap operas would come on, and you would stare at the clock waiting for 3 or 4 when cartoons would come on.

Colon and breast cancer? Man, that shit is fucked up. I know it's not unheard of, but I'd imagine the incidence of breast cancer in men is pretty rare. Does anybody know how common this is in men relative to women? I've only ever known one man personally who was treated for this. I'm wondering if it is just rare, or not talked about?

Also, it seems to me that it needs a new name, as men (well, most men, anyway) don't really have breasts.

"Breast cancer in men is rare - less than 1 percent of all breast carcinomas occur in men.

The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2001 some 1,500 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed among men in the US.
Breast cancer is about 100 times more common among women.
Estimates for 2001 also indicate that there will be about 40,600 deaths from breast cancer in the US (40,200 women, 400 men), according to the American Cancer Society.
The average age at diagnosis is between 60 and 70, although men of all ages can be affected with the disease. "

And sure men have breasts. (Not just the fat ones either.)

it's really rare, like 100 times more common in women. Treatment includes mastectomy.

what i don't get is what do they cut out of a guy, sure I know guys with man boobs can have that chopped out, but what if you're buff like me or John B., does that just mean we wouldn't get it, or we're fucked if we do because there's no way to fix it?

I know this outs me as shallow and not understanding what lies beneath the outer skin of women's breast, but sometimes information is more important.

Dude, have you been to the beach recently? I was on a beach last week... lemme tell you this... there are many, many men with breasts. The mansierre may not be a joke much longer.

S(man tits might be the second foulest thing, a shade behind the 70 yr old woman in a thong I spied)D

1. It's not exactly beach weather here.

2. I believe my post acknowledged that man tits exist, though we may be quibbling over how common they are.

3. Why were you checking out a 70 year old woman in a thong?

4. Why would she even think that such a look would work for her?

5. WTF is wrong with people?

Deflated??? Pick up a copy of this month's Esquire (don't buy it, just pick it up and leaf through it) and scroll through the section "Women We Love". There's a recent photo of Pam with what appear to be small flesh colored cantaloupes stuffed into a wonderbra suspended from her chest.

Do you really want me to answer that question?*



*Yes I'm joking for the sarcasm impaired amongst us.

1. Do you have an airport near you?

2. From my recent involuntary research, it appears man tits are shockingly commonplace.

3. When a 70 year old in a thong passes, you have no choice but to check her out. Its kind of like when you were a kid and saw Challenger explode on national television. You had to watch the reply 10X to make sure it was real. Call it "beach rubbernecking." I had no idea cellulite could fold in such interesting patterns. When viewed from the proper angle, the old lady's ass looked like a pair of sharpei (sp?) dogs suspended on a thin sling. It was also like a game.... I noticed that the thong disappeared about three inches below the ass crack, and I kept trying to find out where it went or, more nauseatingly, where it would emerge again.

4. I have some problems, but I guarantee you, if you saw this thonged octagenarian, you'd have checked her out too. Its like going to a circus freak show... you gotta look.

Disclaimer: Personally, I don't have anything against cigarettes or cigarette smoking. I appreciate a cigarette as much as the next guy when out having a drink, or after some particularly good sex. I like cigarettes and would smoke them all the time if they weren't so fucking bad for you.

That being said, I hate when a person in the car in front of me smokes a cigarette and then flings their cigarette butt out the window and onto the ground.

Since when did my world become a fucking ashtray?!

Most men can also "tape and tuck" and make themselves look like they have a vagina, but I don't see gay women lining up to date such men.

I believe you're advocating a mild form of trannie-chasing.

At what point did NFH become the leper of FB society? She lives on the Ignore List and I am fairly certain that she has lives on those of others as well, though I dont know if she madet he Land of Fu/ What happened to this poster?

At one point, nobody could tell her from ncs. This is no longer a problem as ncs has proven herself to be, tired old catchphrases aside, a poster unto her own. Soemone I will enjoy PMing with. Someone I can both learn from and laugh with. Someone I might have met in Chicago had Taxwonk ponied forth the hotel room. But where does this leave NFH?

I recall NFH had a location that once made me laugh. "not here". It was so simple yet so silly . I found it funny. It wasnt enough though. She had the montage of avatars of baseball players that was reminiscent of sports night at a gay club. This is where my memory of NFH stops. Have I had too many pumpkin martinis or is this a teflon poster? And if this is a teflon poster, why is she so widely reviled, the subject of such ridicule?

I have a theory. .... Does it matter?

After all this, I still dont knwo why NFH is reviled for sure.

OK, NFH, Come Back Now.

Nipple implants? How do these work exactly? Is the areole inflated or is the actual nipple made wider or someting? And wouldnt you lose all sensatoin? And coudl you ever breastfeed?
And the scars? Would normal people ever get these or is this purely the domain of porn starts? I imagine not bc it really doesnt have as much to do with distorted body image as it does with plain old male fantasy.

I wont ask what a teardrop tit is but the description sounds saggy.

Does csquared have these or does she naturally have the abilty to hang towels off her diamond hard nips?

1. I have found no reputable proof of the existence of such surgery. Slave is bullshitting.

2. Teardrop defines a normal perfect breast.
