Golden Girls Alphabet Game

[AngeliqaPickles711]

O is for Olaf, well part of st.olaf where rose is from and is also the sister city to st.gustav....

P is for petite- where Blanche should avoid women's petite clothing

[Bastet]

Since we're supposed to be doing pop culture references made on the show, and one of my favorites fits P, I'm going to repeat those last two letters rather than moving on:

 

O is for Oprah Winfrey, butt of one of the show's jokes I do not like.  (After Rose protests her alleged UFO sighting was not that of a plane by saying, “Planes aren’t that thin or that bright,” Dorothy snarks, “Neither is Oprah Winfrey, but that doesn’t make her a flying saucer.”)

 

And from one of my favorite scenes ever:

 

P is for the PLO, the only organization possibly more fanatical than the Elvis fan club.

 

(It is also for Pinkerton guards, from one of my other favorite scenes -- Dorothy's delightful response to Rose's confused "What kind of protection?" in the "Condoms, Rose!  Condoms, condoms, condoms!" episode is, "Two armed Pinkerton guards.")

[LilWharveyGal]

Q is for Butter Queen, who, according to Blanche, was so good in Gone With The Wind.

[ShadowSixx]

R is for Roger Ebert who Blanche looks like when she wears horizontal stripes, according to Dorothy.

[Bastet]

S is for Star Search.  Blanche heard those patronising a sperm bank can procure samples from Nobel Prize winners .... or is that Star Search winners?

[ShadowSixx]

T is for Tootie which is Blanche's favorite character from The Facts of Life.

[LilWharveyGal]

U is for Uncle Sam, who made Rose feel rejected.

[FormerMod-a1]

V is for Vanna White, whose biography is surprisingly good.

[Maherjunkie]

W is for Barbara Walters, whose speech impediment Dorothy has.

[Blakeston]

X is for the X-rated movies that Sophia tried to pass off as "Steven Spielberger" films.

[Maherjunkie]

Y is for being a young Barbara Billingsley!

[BookThief]

Z is for the Zbornie! Though it's not of our world, I imagine the Zbornie took the Golden Girls world by storm and was sold on late night TV showcasing the amazing difficulties of opening hot potatoes and millions of people made fun of it and then bought one anyway. (If anyone else has a Z, please have at it!)

[AntiBeeSpray]

Z is for Zbornak, which is Dorothy's last name.

[Blakeston]

Maybe Z could be for Dr. Zhivago, which Rose claimed was her favorite movie of all time in her Soviet dream sequence.

 

I guess we can collectively come up with another topic, since several people provided answers for Z?

 

My suggestion is insults.

 

As in, A is for Animal, which is what Rose called Blanche when she thought that Blanche slept with the Country Bear Jamboree.

[ShadowSixx]

B is for Babbling, Bobble headed, Bleach Blonde...Baboon which is what Blanche called Rose with help from Sophia after Rose ate her tuna quiche and drank her shake.

[LilWharveyGal]

C is for Classified by the Navy as a friendly port, which Dorothy said of Blanche.

[camom]

D is for dog years.   

 

Blanche: "This is strictly off the record, but Dirk's nearly five years younger than I am"

Dorothy:  "In what, Blanche, dog years?"

[Blakeston]

E is for English lawyer - just because Dorothy goes around looking like one doesn't mean the rest of us have to.

[ShadowSixx]

F is for Fat Fat Water Rat, 50 Bullets in your Hat, which Dorothy said to Blanche for being ugly and fat during her childhood.

[Bastet]

G is for gerkonkernaken (yeah, I don't know), which, literally translated, is the precise moment dog doo turns white, but generally stands for someone you wouldn't share your hadenkoggles (again, I don't know) with.  It's what Rose thinks of Blanche.

[ShadowSixx]

H is for Hypersexual Bitch which Rose called Blanche when Blanche refused to believe that Rose read a scientific journal.

[LilWharveyGal]

I is for (Swamp) Insect, which Dorothy calls Sophia.

[camom]

J is for "You no good back-stabbing Jezebel," which is what Blanche called Dorothy when they worked together at the museum.

 

(I think it's funny that Blanche was the one calling Dorothy a jezebel!)

[Maherjunkie]

K is for Ken," What did you do to him?!" the Klown.

[ShadowSixx]

L is for Luge which Dorothy told Blanche that the luge is the only event where you get to lie on your back when Blanche thought about entering the Olympics.

[Cobalt Stargazer]

M is for Moron, which Sophia said of Rose when she asked Dorothy, "Why did Rose throw the alarm clock out the window? Because she's a moron!"

[LilWharveyGal]

N is for Nerd, of the grade-A, first class, all around variety, which Blanche called Rose.

[ShadowSixx]

O is for Ornery which Blanche called Sophia when she talked about Sophia's character traits, "You're always ornery, unpleasant, and downright mean, that's part of your charm."

 

P is for Petite which Rose was wondering why Blanche was in petite when Blanche told her a story about a guy hitting on her in the store.

[Blakeston]

Not that I'm fond of this joke, but:

 

Q is for Queer, because a guy is gay if he can sing the entire score of "Gigi." But, a six foot three, two hundred pound married man with kids, who likes to dress up like Dorothy Lamour, Sophia thinks you have to go with queer.

[ShadowSixx]

R is for Raisin which Blanche called Sophia raisin in sneakers when she was at a loss as to how Fidel could confuse her for Sophia.

[FormerMod-a1]

S is for Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! which Blanche called herself after boasting about herself to the ex-con just out of prison.

[Cobalt Stargazer]

T is for Twit, as in, "It doesn't have a title, you twit", which is what Blanche said to Rose when asked about the name of the book she wrote on dating.

[Blakeston]

U is for Upside-down on a trapeze, which still wouldn't make Blanche's bosoms perkier than Cheryl Ladd's.

 

V is for a Vindictive little sea monkey, aka Sophia.

[ShadowSixx]

W is for West which Dorothy said that they could show How the West was Won on Rose's behind.

[ShadowSixx]

Y is for (Lost) Youth, and Sophia says that Blanche hasn't got it.

[Maherjunkie]

Z is for Zbornie, which Dorothy lived with for 38 years.

[camom]

OK Maherjunkie, since you finished up "insults," you get to declare our next category.

[Maherjunkie]

This is getting harder.  Would things related to Sicily or Brooklyn be too difficult?

[camom]

Maybe we could include where all the girls came from, including St. Olaf and wherever in the south Blanche grew up.

 

A is for Angela, Sophia's sister who visited from Sicily.

B is for Mrs. Beasley, Dorothy's doll in Brooklyn.

[Maherjunkie]

I was hoping we could stretch it out, but we can do that if everyone wants it.

 

I say 

 

C for Cannoli, which Glen knew something about.

[LilWharveyGal]

D is for the Door in the Brooklyn apartment where Sal carved the heart that said, "Sal Loves Sophia."

[Blakeston]

Let's try narrowing it down to Sicily and Brooklyn, and if that's too hard, we can expand it.

 

E is for Ear Salve, which didn't look as appealing on a menu as pesto sauce did.

Edited August 26, 2014 by Blakeston

[LilWharveyGal]

F is for the Feast of San Gennaro, which resulted in Dorothy's conception behind the sausage and pepper stand.

[Cobalt Stargazer]

G is for Giuseppe Mangiacavallo, Sophia's betrothed from Sicily who she put a curse on because he jilted her at the altar.

[Blakeston]

H is for Halloween in Brooklyn - the only time when Phil dressed in men's clothing.

[ShadowSixx]

I is for Impress which John Noretti was unable to impress Sophia when he came to pick up Dorothy for the prom.

[Maherjunkie]

J is for the Judas Kiss Dorothy gave Miles which satisfied part of the curse of Stragua (?).

[ShadowSixx]

K is for Knocked Up which Dorothy was after her and Stan had sex for the first time.

[LilWharveyGal]

L is for Luigi the pig boy, with whom Sophia would have been matched up in her village in Sicily if she hadn't stood on a rock.
