Best one so far. Better than mine. +1

This one? Really? This one?

Thank you for being a friend.

I imagine the waiting room with Rue McClanahan, Gary Coleman, and Dennis Hopper could have some interesting conversations.

Estelle in 08
Bea in 09
Rue in 10
Betty in 11
2012 Mayan Apocalypse

Coincidence? I think not.

Abe Vigoda steals her soul and lives on for another day.

When Rue had her stroke, Betty White said she sent her flowers with a card.

The card had a joke message indicating she hoped Rue would die so she'd be the last surviving Golden Girl.

At the time both thought it was hilarious. I am sure Betty is very sad today.

Considering the show was about 4 older women, it surprisingly attracted a diverse audience.

So much for the Facebook campaign I was going to start to petition for her to host "SNL."

HawgWild		2010-06-03 12:20:21 PM

I wonder what the other submissions were.

Any TF wanna help a curious liter?

Oh that was bad.

"And the card attached would say, 'My condolences.'"

InferiousX		2010-06-03 12:21:31 PM

Hmmm mine was similar. Oh well.

Was going to try again with "Betty White decapitates Rue McLanahan. Receives the Quickening and the Prize."

joni mnemonic		2010-06-03 12:22:08 PM

'dallas' sucked, anyway

They weren't that great. This was probably the best. BTW, posting TF stuff for liters is frowned upon by the FARQ, even if its not often enforced.

Betty White was great on SNL a couple months ago.

elleonheels		2010-06-03 12:23:09 PM

I Rue'd the day. :(

Vcook		2010-06-03 12:23:11 PM

blanche had a massive stroke, eh? I wonder who the lucky guy was.

/too soon?

HawgWild		2010-06-03 12:23:13 PM

There is a Diff'rent Strokes joke here, somewhere.

/Not feeling very creative today
//So ... dance, monkeys!

jordawesome		2010-06-03 12:23:19 PM

Todd Bridges and Betty White will be starring in a new buddy comedy. It will chronicle the wacky adventures of a street-wise rapscallion (Bridges) with a penchant for flashy bling, and his sweet adoptive grandmother (White) who is bravely overcoming the odds while recovering from a series of TIA's. Look for "Golden Strokes" on Fox this Fall!

The_Sponge		2010-06-03 12:23:22 PM

/Would have guessed that she would be the last remaining Golden Girl.

MoesTavern		2010-06-03 12:23:39 PM

GET BETTY WHITE TO A SAFE LOCATION STAT!

///Slutty Golden girl was my Favorite R.I.P.

AgentBang		2010-06-03 12:23:47 PM

There can only be one

osdrcomputers		2010-06-03 12:23:48 PM

R.I.P. Brent McClanahan

darwinpolice		2010-06-03 12:23:51 PM

Guys, I submitted this same link, but I feel that the headline I submitted was funnier than this one. Can someone explain to me why this one was chosen over mine?

Mr. Coffee Nerves		2010-06-03 12:23:54 PM

Rose finally got tired of the headboard noises from the other room.

I hope she remembered to throw away the "Cheesecake with D-Con" recipe card.

ejwsod36		2010-06-03 12:24:03 PM

No one should be surprised. Blanche always liked it on her back.
/Too soon?

BunkoSquad		2010-06-03 12:24:10 PM

RIP RUE DE LA REPUBLIQUE

boorite		2010-06-03 12:24:13 PM

Now I'll NEVER get laid.

EviLincoln		2010-06-03 12:24:21 PM

Have we established that Betty White has killed the other cast members in order her gnarled hands on the treasure?

I know it has been suspected for a while, but this should be the concrete evidence that has been lacking.

Stinkyy		2010-06-03 12:24:31 PM

RIP, to the one hot one of the Golden Girls.

The_Sponge		2010-06-03 12:24:50 PM

Awww ...

Oh well. The mystery remains.

Tommy Moo		2010-06-03 12:24:58 PM

I saw her on Broadway in Wicked. I always had a soft spot for her. I'm not sure why the Golden Girls are so unironically hip.

I was gonna shoop Betty's face on this. But now I has a sad.

There can be only one.

Reminds me of how Waylon Jennings was with Buddy Holly and told him he hoped his plane would crash. I can't even imagine what that felt like later.

SolomonKing		2010-06-03 12:25:48 PM

For some reason, I thought it said Barry White...

ohmyvariousgods		2010-06-03 12:25:48 PM

Oh no!

I am torn over this, first my job and now......ugh that is it, I am playing the emo card today.

RIP Rue Paul

mofomisfit		2010-06-03 12:26:14 PM

Well at least we'll be spared from a bunch of obnoxious douchers trying to turn Rue McClanahan into a meme after Betty White kicks it.

hbk72777		2010-06-03 12:26:48 PM

Just watch Betty White on a talk show yesterday, and they showed a picture of her and Rue, and said she's doing great.Seems like anytime some actor gets sick, they say they're fine, and they die pretty quickly. If I'm, say Annette Funicello , I'd pray they'd say I'm near death.

Rev. Skarekroe		2010-06-03 12:26:50 PM

She was only 76? That means she was only 51 when the Golden Girls started. I thought her character was supposed to be in her 60s.

I really need to preview more carefully.

Tommy Moo		2010-06-03 12:27:09 PM

The_Sponge: Celebrities die in threes, blah blah.

Or maybe they're just constantly dying and we're just constantly wrapping them up in sensible packages, looking for order in a chaotic universe.
