Golden Girls Alphabet Game

[aquarian1 18.0k]

The rules:

We take a character, prop or episode (or anything, really) and run through the alphabet to find things that highlight the subject.

Whoever finishes a run with Z gets to choose the next topic.

 

Let's start with Blanche!

 

A is for adultery.  More prevalent in Blanche's life than she knew.  (Her father, Big Daddy, and Mammie Watkins; and her husband with the surprise son.)

[LilWharveyGal 11.9k]

B is for (perky) Bosoms.  Whether they were perfect champagne-glass-sized orbs of dancing loveliness, or had more air pressure than Dorothy's rear tires.  Either way, notice how they seem to follow you wherever you go?

[ShadowSixx 7.2k]

C is for calender when Blanche gave the girls her Christmas gift of a calender labeled "The Men of Blanche's Boudoir"

[aquarian1 18.0k]

D is for Delirious, which is how Blanche was after staying awake all night writing her book.

[ShadowSixx 7.2k]

E is for Exams that Blanche took twice one to be on Jeopardy and one she had to take to get her degree for her job.

[LilWharveyGal 11.9k]

F is for Feldman.  She's a Feldman, dammit.  Of Buffalo.

Not to be a fuddy-duddy, but the point of this round of the game is to name things that relate to Blanche (and not just the show in general). Let's read the OP before posting, folks. 

[sgittinger 162]

Q is for quiche, because Blanche wanted her sensible meal

[aquarian1 18.0k]

Yes, @Stinger97 and @sgittinger, you are both correct.  This game is about Blanche, but after Z we will change topics.  Whoever gets the "Z" one, will select the next topic of "alphabetics".
