Golden Girls Alert! I am...

Yep, I did it again... took another one of those damn Facebook multiple choice goofball quizzes... this one was Which Golden Girl Am I... and the answer to that all-important question was not a surprise at all.

I am Dorothy Zbornak.


For those of you not familiar with the characters on The Golden Girls, how the hell did you spend the 80s?

Dorothy, played by Bea Arthur, was according to Wikipedia, the "strong, sarcastic, sometimes intimidating, and arguable most grounded" of the girls. She was smart, blunt, quick-witted, and had no patience for morons. Which is a good thing, as so many people are morons.

The oh so scientific facebook quiz describes Dorothy as "tough as nails and witty as hell... You are an independent soul that stands your ground and lets people know where they can stick it if they do you wrong. Sassy and sarcastic, you keep people on their toes, but everyone always knows where they stand with you."

"I could have been living in a swinging singles condo instead of with... oh, I better not say anyting before my morning cup of coffee... (take a sip) ... a slut and a moron... sorry, I guess it's decaf."

I'll take it! I am Dorothy... except for the mumu's, sandals and shoulder pads, that look so does not work for me!

That quotation is brilliant lol!
Aww I loved the Golden Girls ... have you got a link for the quiz? :D ;-)
I always thought Dorothy was a man in drag I have to say, no offence to Bea - this it was the husky voice that did it. :)

I took one of those quizzes before. Mine said I'm a "Hot Ghetto Mess", lmao!

Way to go, Dorothy!

Love the quote, but her mom held her own there. Yay, Betty White's triumphant return!

Vodka Logic said...

Yes she was the bearable one... Too bad she isn't around for the resurgence of senior actors

I loved Dorothy. Loved Bea Arthur and the Golden Girls. What hoot.

I'm always surprised to see Betty White "old" on that show. She should have kicked the bucket by now. How long ago was that show? I do love me some Betty White. She rocks it.

My mother and I constantly joke that we are Dorothy and Sophia. Although I like to think I'm slightly more feminine....The sarcasm is bang on though. As is the intolerance for morons; who sadly enough, appear to be taking over the world. Them and the goddamn vampires.

I used to watch that show with my grandmother ALLLLLL the time. It was like our thing to do together and I loved it. I still watch re-runs sometimes.

Rose was always my favorite. I could identify with her idiocy. And Betty White is still one of my favorite actresses ever.

Such an incredible series! Dorothy was such a well written character.

I really think you should give mumus a try. I've heard they're oh so comfy.

Brahm (alfred lives here) said...

@Ray - is a facebook quiz, if you are on facebook just search "which golden girl are you".

@andygirl - Okay am definitely not not not giving mumu's a try!

@salt - I totally agree, love Betty White and Rose, always amazed she could tell those stories with a straight face!

And yes I watch the reruns too, I will not admit how often; is on here several times a day, along with Murphy Brown and Mary Tyler Moore, other shows I love. What is it with me and strong women?

bea arthur was such a role model for women in the 1980s big boned, aging,,,, and fucking funny!!!

Jabacue said...

Dorothy was my favourite too! No pissin' around with her!

Lauren said...

lol Oh Dorothy... I like her quick wit and no-nonsense attitude. I think Sophia might be my favourite though. She's kind of got that Dorothy character with Rose's quirks.

Midwestern Mama Holly said...

OMG OMG !! I LOVE LOVE LOVE The Golden Girls. Ive taken various test of this kind and I always come out as being Ma. Im always a little disappointed Im not Blanche. LOL! God forbid the day Rose (Betty White) takes the walk into the light.. I will most definitely need to be medicated.

Brahm (alfred lives here) said...

Part of me wanted to be Blance also, because she is totally not me, being so extroverted and confident. Totally not me.

I am a Dorothy.

And isn't Betty White's current resurgence or comeback or whatever it is, totally terrific? Love it.

Zoe Right said...

You forgot about the hot pink makeup. That was extra sexy.

Brahm (alfred lives here) said...

Oh, the makeup was a total 80s thing, with the pink and blue, plus the huge 80s earrings, and of course the clothes! Oh, those 80s shoulder pads!

Linda Medrano said...

I loved each and every one of these woman and saw myself and everyone I know in all of them. Genius!

Years ago I would watch every rerun of Golden Girls daily. There were about four in a row every night. This was after seeing them originally. Love me some Golden Girls.

However, that drawing on top kind of scares me.
