Betty White May Cause Brain Freeze



The Scene: Watching a trailer for The Proposal starring Betty White (and some other people)...


Me: That looks funny!

Doug: Good for Betty White...

Me: Yeah...she was SO funny on The Golden Girls. And when she was on that other show ... Hollywood Circles.

Doug: Uh...Hollywood Circles? You mean Hollywood Squares?

Me: Yeah...that's what I meant!

Doug: You sure it wasn't Hollywood Triangles? Or Hollywood Trapezoids?

Me: Okay. Okay...

Doug: Octotogon gets a rhombus!!!!

Me: Oh, Shut up.


PS: And she wasn't even ON Hollywood SQUARES.

Betty White was on PASSWORD!

(How I came up with Hollywood Circles from Password is one of the amazing mysteries of how my brain works...)

Hey, that was a while ago...we can't remember everything all the time. What's wrong with him?

Cascia said...

That is funny! I don't remember password. Maybe it was before my time.

SavvySuzie said...

Laughed hard enough to slip out of my office chair. Prego on the floor. Entertainment for all :)

Debbie said...

Well, we all immediately knew what you meant so our brains must work the same way!

robin said...

Well, at least you got the Golden Girls part right.
You could have said Golden Goose. Or Golden Grahams. Or Golden Retriever!
(I could go on forever!!)

Proud Mommy said...

Ha!!! Men think they know everything!!!

LOL! Good ol' Betty White...

Ali said...

My mind's going too--I can totally see her on Hollywood Squares!

MamaJoss said...

I thought she WAS on Hollywood Squares...no? That's some funny stuff.

Carrie said...

I'm betting that Betty just scared the crap out of you with that big gun and you temporarily went blank. Yeah, that's the ticket!

rhombus...love it!

Betty White rocks. I love when old people are all cranky and stuff. I want to see The Proposal but when I asked my husband to see it with me he was all, "No way." I went, "But Sandra Bullock is in it. She can be your eye candy." He hesitated for a few seconds and then repeated, "No way." Hmph.

I think Holywood Rhombus has a much nicer ring to it. And Holywood circles sounds like a reality show where the different cliques collide. Maybe they all rearrange, switch friends, and a few end up out of the loop?

Kristina P. said...

What about Hollywood Pentagram? It could be a show where she and Robert Langdon team up to catch the Illuminati by answering questions about famous people.

Katy said...

LOL! She was also on Boston Legal for several episodes as a manipulative old lady- she was hilarious. I love her!

Mrsbear said...

She was great in Lake Placid, if you're in the mood for a cheesy giant gator flick where Betty White feeds the enormous reptile cows and tosses the F bomb like nobody's business. Good times.

Kekibird said...

Oh lordy! That made me smile and giggle a bit.

Hollywood Circles...

Terra said...

Carissa(GoodNCrazy) said...

I wouldn't have remembered either one TYVM.. Your hubby reminds me of my hubby... :)

ComfyMom~Stacey said...

Octotogon gets a rhombus!!!

LOL! I had to go look up rhombus because I couldn't remember what it was. Thanks for the learning moment

Dee said...

Funny conversation :)

Anne said...

Be proud that you remembered Betty White at all. That is an accomplishment for a mother with 2 children.

Firefly@www.firefly-shop.org said...

LOL too funny!

jenn said...

Haha. Sounds about the way my brain works.

Banteringblonde said...

MommyAmy said...

lol, I love Betty White!

Now remember, get your pets spayed or neutered...

The Blonde Duck said...

I hate to admit it, but I still watch Golden Girls!

Hit 40 said...

Your verbal exchange sounded like my boys and I.

We went off about 10 minutes about math words that start with p. Pythagorean, pyramid, polynomial,.... You get the idea.

This is what nerds do :-)

zelzee said...

Sadly, I'm following your train of thought.................

Elaine A. said...

I can't get over the image of Betty White shooting a gun.

And I totally knew what you meant by "Hollywood Cirlces!" Of course that's really Password! HA HA HA!

CaraBee said...

Are you sure she wasn't on Hollywood Squares? Eh, they're all the same.

Frogs in my formula said...

Betty White shooting a gun? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Savvy Mode SG said...

that was so long ago.

Jenners said...

Just back from "vacation" and getting caught up on your blog ... you are so funny, you know! This one and the dogwood tree (poor inferious non-flowering tree) just killed me.
Thank you! : )

Trudy said...

hee hee...Hollywood Circles, I love that. And I really love Betty White, may have to check that one out!

Michelle said...

LOL! Hollywood Circles works for me! I don't know about you, but I hate when my husband corrects me.

Lisa (Jonny's Mommy) said...

I didn't even know she was on Password! Good trivia! The movie does look funny too. And I love the picture of her. Man, that is seriously funny. I mean, lady, that is seriously funny.

Peggy said...

I adore Betty White and cannot wait for that show!

I always wished she was my Grandma or Aunt or something! Still do!

Bonnie said...
