Estelle Getty would have laughed

As you all know, the Golden Girls is my favorite show. I think 2 years ago, the"About Me" section of my Facebook said "I check imdb every morning to see if one of my beloved Golden Girls has died" Well, on Tuesday it happened. Sad face bear. Being ridiculously awkward in these types of situations, I wasn't exactly sure how to tackle the issue of Estelle Getty being dead. I'm saddened and all, but she was 84 and she led a great life and touched a lot of people's lives.

Me: So they're having a special Golden Girls marathon this Friday
J: Why?
Me: Because Estelle Getty died
J: So is that what they're gonna do? They're gonna have a marathon every time one of those old bitches hits the bricks?
(less than 1 second passes)
J: I TOLD YOU I HAD A HARD DAY AT WORK!!
(We both laugh for like 5 minutes straight)

And I think Estelle would have appreciated that witty banter. This is how I want to remember her and the rest of the cast. I want this image emblazoned to my retinas so I'll never forget the feisty, fearless, fashion unconscious spirit of the 80's and all the emergences which it has spawned.
