thank you for being a friend

So, sad news.

Estelle Getty passed away today. You know, Sophia from Golden Girls.

I'd heard the news during a break at work so I sent out a group email informing everyone of the sad news, along with my two cents on how she was a Boomin' Granny.

Fantastically, this resulted in the entire office breaking out into a sing-along of the Golden Girls' theme song. First one person, then a couple more joined in, then more, until finally the entire staff was stylizing the "And if you threw a par-taaaaaaaay, and invited everyone you knew..." lyric, all the way up until the end of the song. Someone even busted out with the final instrumental string.

It was out-of-the-blue and brilliant.

I just wish I would have recorded it.
