Two down...

...two to go. Golden Girls that is. Today I regretfully write with the news of the death of Bea Arthur, who succumbed to cancer this morning in her Los Angeles home. Bea, the former Bernice Frankel, was 86. Miss Arthur made her mark in the 70's as Archie Bunker's hilarious political nemesis, Maude on Norman Lear's All In the Family. She went on to take that role to her own show, Maude, before her six year, Emmy winning role as Dorothy Zbornak on the Golden Girls. Bea now joins fellow cast member Estelle Getty in TV heaven. She is survived by cast members Rue McClanahan and Betty White...and two sons.

I can't help but remember how hard I laughed when I first heard comedian Jeff Ross refer to a girl that was so ugly that, "I wouldn't fuck her with Bea Arthur's dick..."

5 Ghoul Poolers had Bea Arthur:

Steven Boggs
Alan Bell
Charles Gray
Lisa Massaro
Missy McCallister

If these people can prove they had nothing to do with Bea's death, they will be awarded 1 point. This will not change the standings, as Penny Gray and Howard Askenase are each tied for first with two points. Now a boat load of people are tied for second.
