Not all that many, is my guess. But I'm only 58. Just a kid. --D-y

uh, beating Adam Sandler is bad how?
Have you ever watched South Park?
The unfortunate part is that he did not complete the act and remove
his existence from this planet.

That was my take on Barker too. Huge asshole, great on camera. The
comedian Red Skelton was like that. Everyone loved his performance
personality, but behind the scenes he was a no good SOB who stole
every "bit" he could and claimed he created them. Everyone who worked
with him hated him.

What about the ass-beating he put on poor old Happy Gilmore? You could
see that he was a bastard by the sick smile on his face as smacked Happy
around!

As long as he doesn't dope...

Um, starting an affair at 65 yrs old, surrounded by sycophants, still
an "eye for the ladies"...

He dopes for that standing ovation, no doubt about it! --D-y

"Barker is probably the most vicious man I've met in my life," Alden
said, who also represents Jordan and Clement-Henry. "I honestly liked
him before I got involved in these lawsuits, until I took his
deposition and thought, 'My God, what a monster.'"
