It’s a sad day, Bea from the Golden Girls passed away today. I won’t admit to watching this show, but from time to time my clicker stuck on the channel for some reason in spurts of 15 seconds or more. No idea, trippy. Anyway, our condolences go out to her family. Beatrice Arthur will live forever in my memories, and also in one of my t-shirts… which can be seen here.
