    As a Star Wars fan, I wrote my own goodbye to Bea Arthur and her awesome/campy role as Ackmena in the Star Wars Holiday Special if any of you want to read it here:
    [starwarsblog.starwars.com]


    I'm still waiting for Hasbro to make an Ackmena action figure (HINT! HINT!) so I can act out my own cantina dramas with Han Solo, Hammerhead and IG-88. (Trust me, I have an awesome scenario playing out in my head for some time now.)


    Her standard farewell to cantina bar patrons was, "Come back soon, I'll be waiting." I'd like to think that she's in that big cantina in the sky, waiting for us with a few sage words of advice and a pitcher of her best libation.

    Bea Arthur's characters were the original gold standard for blog commenting. Snarky, edgy, succinct, and funny as all hell.

    She was brilliant in "History of the World, Part I"




    Unemployment Clerk: Occupation?

    Comicus: Stand-up philosopher.

    Unemployment Clerk: What?

    Comicus: Stand-up philosopher. I coalesce the vapors of human experience into a viable and meaningful comprehension.

    Unemployment Clerk: Oh, a *bullshit* artist! Did you bullshit last week?

    Comicus: No.

    Unemployment Clerk: Did you *try* to bullshit last week?

    Comicus: Yes!

    *****

    Unemployment Clerk: Occupation?

    Gladiator: Gladiator.

    Unemployment Clerk: Did you kill last week?

    Gladiator: No.

    Unemployment Clerk: Did you try to kill last week?

    Gladiator: Yeah.

    Unemployment Clerk: Now, listen, this is your last week of unemployment insurance. Either you kill somebody next week or we're going to have to change your status, got it?


    That film, in addition to being gut-bustingly funny, also had Madeline Kahn, who combined sexiness and absurdity with wit, and Harvey Korman, whose diction and timing he used for comic brilliance.


    Bea Arthur was one of the great "straight men". She had a deadpan delivery that couldn't be matched and fed great lines to all around.

    @Illiterate?EmailMeForHelp_GitEmSteveDave: And the things they got away with:


    Dorothy and Rose and writing a song for the Miami Beach Tourism Board contest:

    Dorothy: We could be the next Rodgers and Hammerstein, the next Simon and Garfunkle...

    Rose: The next Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop!

    Dorothy: I don't think I could get my hand that far up your dress, but for ten thousand dollars, I'd be willing to try.



    Good night, Dorothy.

    @ManekiNeko: Yeah, living on a horse farm(I do), I can tell you that pregnant mares piss like, well, race horses.


    @Andy Cairns: Yeah, they should stick to killing puppies and kittens, rather than putting some piss boy out of a job.

    WTF was that. I feel like I just woke up from a crack-coma while being dragged through a time warp.


    I still want a Blackberry though.

    Only made it about half way through.
