Life sized cardboard cutout of Beatrice Arthur
Ive been having medical issue and can no longer use this for its intended purpose. Free to a good home email me to arrange pick up if no replies she is going in the trash đ
What on earth IS the intended purpose of a lifesized cardboard cutout of Bea Arthur? And what medical issue would prevent said use? The mind boggles.
Maybe they’ve gone blind and they can’t see it any more.
My only other ideas creep me the hell out.
This one is so painful. Is the medical issue that he’s been treated with necrophilia and now that she’s dead, his psychiatrist has advised that masturbating to it would set him back…?
The mind boggles.
Now, personally, I would love to own a life-size cardboard cutout of Bea Arthur. I almost medically need one, so much do I need one. Why would he/she put such a thing in the trash? Does it really take up that much space? Just hide it behind a door! But, in that case, one might forget it’s there and shut the door and… well. That might be scary.
Absolutely. And then we could start another urban legend like the one from “Look Who’s Talking” with the cardboard cutout of Ted Danson. Only this time it will be of a dead person. Imagine the possibilities, should be good for a ton of laughs.
Ouch! Ouch! OUCH!!
This hurts my brain!
(Maybe the medical condition is an allergy to cardboard….or Bea Arthur…or….life-sized stuff….or normalcy)
Maybe this should also be tagged under “fun with pictures”….
“Medical issue” = massive paper cuts, perhaps?
I don’t even dare to let my imagination run away on this one…
Eyes crunched closed, hands over ears, going ‘la la la la I can’t hear you’! I seriously don’t want to know anymore about this ad. In fact I will stop thinking about it now! Thx!
Where was this posted?!? I need this cutout, my life isn’t complete without it!!!!!!! I’ll dress up as Sofia and we’ll reenact Golden Girls scenes.
*Ahem* Sorry, I just really love The Golden Girls.
This is just creepy…I can’t even think of what this would be used for and I’m not going to push it…I think my mind is blocking all those thoughts out to protect itself!
I think it’s pretty clear what the “medical issue” is, but my brain just doesn’t want to process it…
Why would he bother to add the caveat of a “good home” for it if it will otherwise be going into the trash?
Someone remind me again which medical condition greatly reduces its victims’ sense of irony?
Anemia.
You, sir or madam, just made my day.
Please tell me this wasn’t posted in M4W or W4M!!!!
In my search for the logic, I’m guessing the poster has to move due to illness (not being able to work.) And its “intended purpose” of wall art cannot be accomodated in the new accomadations? Lord, please let this be the reason?!
The only thing that could improve this ad is if it mentioned being “slightly stained.”
I actually want it too!!!! Where can I get it?
it’s quite clear this person has some sort of connection to this cut-out because the poster says, “SHE is going in the trash,” not “IT is going in the trash.”
poor bea, at least have the decency to recycle HER!
Is the medical condition that he’s run out of jizzzz?
[…] and mezcal binge? NOBODY, thatâs who. I mean, that would be like robbing a house protected by a lifesized cutout of Bea Arthur. It just isnât done in civilized […]
If it’s still available at this late date, I’d take it in a minute; it would fit my condo’s “Maude”-ern decor.
Dancing! Dancing! Dancing! Please just be dancing.
I know that at my house my roommate uses cardboard cutouts at her dinner parties/regular parties. It is always nice to have the half-naked fireman, the random red dress busty woman, and Austin Powers to laugh at (especially after breaking out the tequila or the wine). I think Bea Arthur would be a grand addition to my roommate’s fold. XD
Also, we sometimes tape a picture of her grandmother’s face to red boob woman’s body and joke that she is having an affair with the hot half-naked fireman. Usually this only happens if Grandma is there to see it and joke with us. ^__^
I really go to the wrong parties. We never have cardboard cutouts lifesize or otherwise.
I want to know what qualifies as “a good home” for a cardboard cutout.
I had roommates who took life size cardboard cutouts to the nearest rural area that allowed target shooting, and set them up as targets. I would imagine that’s not a good home for Bea. And the cutouts never came back from these outings. I would think there should be a museum somewhere that would have taken this as a donation.

I REALLY need a Bea Arthur Life size cut out
Beatrice Arthur
The cut out must be cut out
I have some issues
*puts up the museum golden ropes* Here, snarkers, you see the very beginning of the Bea Arthur meme at YSaC, Stand back, please. Do not touch the comments. Yes, while there followed a caveman and a Hasselhoff, Ms. Arthur was the original. She is a saint here at YSaC, and is revered in the bees we bestow on our Llama-nun and Ostrimu.
That concludes our tour, please exit through the gift shop.
wait … wait … wait … wait … Mrs. Windy – Can I get a picture of you by Bea Arthur? I may never have another opportunity.
One of your captive fans
(No I’m not a stalker!!! Who said I was? It was that Typo guy or one of these dogs – maybe the one with the teeth — or it could have been that Sister Nacho chick or the ghost cat …… wait … wait just a minute)
goes quietly to take my medication…..
Artsy, I understand completely! Now, be sure to get my good side!
If I were to bring Bea Arthur to the YSaC museum to get a picture of her with the Bea Arthur cutout, would the universe explode?
IF, let’s just not try that little experiment, shall we? 8)
Quite. Given that Ms Arthur has slipped the mortal coil. arriving with a living version would seem to presume a flood of tachyons and quantum state casual issues that would be as complicated as the situation if you merely had the mortal remains in custody, what with the Blues Brothers-like stream of LE trailing in behind you . . .
Ooh, just saw, yesterday, that Sony is working on a 360Âș display device that will likely change museum displays as we know them.
The display is “gesture sensitive” so you can turn an object without actually touching it. But, the display is all light, so there is no risk to the displayed item.
Here’s your first Punchity Punch Punch, Raoul! Hope you enjoy it.
G’Night, New York!
I would love a life size cut out of Bea Arthur! It will go well with my Christopher Walken one.
I always thought they would make a cute couple.
Reasons you would have to give up your life-sized cardboard cutout of Bea Arthur;
1. Sudden onset of allergy to cardboard
2. Your imaginary friend is jealous of her
3. Her disapproving glare is affecting your quality “t-shirt time”
4. You’ve grown apart and found new cardboard friends
5. Every time you blink, she gets a little bit closer … closer … AHHHH!
6. You thought you bought a life size cutout of Arthur Dent, until you noticed he wasn’t carrying a towel.
My ex would have snapped that up in a heartbeat. When I was in law school, he got one of those cardboard cut-out movie promotions and propped it up in our living room.
Hold on, you left out some important information! Which movie? Which character/actor? Inquiring Minds want to know if he’s a pervy elf fancier! (As am I.)
My oldest son had a life-size Michael Jordan cutout. He’d stage it in different parts of the house to freak us out. Apparently nothing is more hilarious to a (then) 16-year old boy than to hear his mom scream ’cause Michael Jordan was in her bathroom when she flipped on the light. It was like I lived with a 6’6″ ninjacat.
I must have the mind of a 16 year old boy, because that’s pretty funny to me
Hammy, you’re in the box. No jumping out unless you have to go to the, you know, little puppy’s room.
I thought everywhere was the little puppies room…
Life sized plate steel cutout of Beatrice Arthur
Ive been having medical issue (bad back) and can no longer use this for its intended purpose (bullet proof disguise to discourage rapists). Free to a good home email me to arrange a crane to pick up if no replies she is going to Iraq to scare terrorists.
I used to share a flat with a girl who had a life-size Brad Pitt cardboard cutout – I think it was from Legends of the Fall, that would have been around the right time. It stood in the corner to the left of the tv which gave the impression he was disapproving slightly of our viewing choices. Also, it freaked out visitors which was fun.
Disdainful CatÂź approves of Disapproving Brad Pitt.
This reminds me of a blog my friend read to me once in college in our dorm. The blogger had ordered a cardboard cutout of Buffy for a birthday present for a family member… and received Jesus by mistake.
I’d have more fun with Cardboard Jesus. Just think of the hide ‘n go seek you could play!
“I found Jesus! He was under the couch cushions.”
I would only take it if it came with a Carrol O’Connor cut out. I could use finger puppets for Jean Simmons, Rob Reiner, and Sally Struthers. Oh, the fun I will have restaging the oft forgotten first appearance of Maude.
Lady Godiva was a freedom rider
She didn’t care if the whole world looked.
Joan of Arc, with the Lord to guide her
She was a sister who really cooked.
Isadora was the first bra burner
Ain’t ya glad she showed up. (Oh yeah)
And when the country was falling apart
Betsy Ross got it all sewed up.
And then there’s Maude.
And then there’s Maude.
And then there’s Maude.
And then there’s Maude.
And then there’s Maude.
And then there’s Maude.
And then there’s
That uncompromisin’, enterprisin’, anything but tranquilizing,
Right on Maude.
That Joan of Arc line about the “sister who really cooked” is in bad taste if you think about it. “Cooked”? Seriously?
And now I know how Joan of Arc felt,
Now I know how Joan of Arc felt!
As the flames roast her Roman nose
and her hearing aid started to melt.
Much better taste, that one. 8)
Hammy, I almost (actually did) forgot to give you your Punchity Punch Punch! Insomnia saves the day,
G’Night, Tuckahoe!
[…] you sit at home today, I bet you feel like somethingâs missing. You may even be saying to your life sized cut out of Bea Arthur âwhy donât the Golden Girls ever play violent video games in the old episodes?â Well this fan […]
