Beatrice Arthur is Dead.

[Evil]

This saddens me greatly.

Let's go watch Golden Girls.

:(

Golden Girls was one of the few television programs I used to watch on a regular basis.

[Cyrus the virus]

Never a good thing to hear about.

I remember when I was really young, I think on Fridays Golden Girls was on followed by Empty Nest... or something like that. It never really appealed to me, for obvious reasons.

I really enjoyed her Maude character, especially in All In the Family before it spun off into Maude. Such a hard ass liberal she played. :)

When I found this out, I cried like my grandmother had died. If only my grandmother was a badass like Bea Arthur.

In her honor, from the best film EVER in existence:

Just one more round, friend. Then homeward
bound, friend. Don't forget me in your
dreams. Just one more song, friend. The
night's get shorter it seems. Just one
more rhyme, friend. Yes, it's a crime,
friend. But you know time, friend. Time
can fly.

I saw her on a clip of the View taped some time last year and she did seem a bit loopy. I think dementia was probably settling in. She will be missed.

Ah, one of the Golden Girls. That's sad. I loved that show as a kid.

Son of a bitch! Bea Arthur was so motherfucking badass, I mourn this, I mourn this a lot.
