Rose: It was the herring who did the juggling! Tiny little Ginsu knives. Really very dangerous. I mean, one false move, they could have filleted themselves.

Rose: Finneas had made 100 hoagie heroes for $500,000. He claimed the reason they were so expensive was he had used all imported meats and cheeses.

Rose: While we were studying WWI, she told us mustard gas was something you got from eating too many hot dogs. That's why to this day in St. Olaf, everyone celebrates the 4th of July with a thin omelet on a bun.

Rose: Emmett found Millie and the Reverend skinny dipping in the church's fountain, and he shot the both of them. A week later, we became Lutherans.

Betty White's line delivery makes this one of my favorite #GoldenGirls quotes from Rose.

Rose: The lights went on, off, on, off, on, off. And Miles did his impression of the old King Kong, and we laughed and laughed. So I pretended I was Godzilla, and we wrestled, got all sweaty. Come to think of it, we never did make love that night.

Next to St. Olaf's meanest ventriloquist, this is my favorite St. Olaf story.

Not to be confused with my favorite St. Olaf letter, which is from the Department of Water and Coffee.

Rose: What they did then was--since the grave was still open, and everybody was right there, and Gustav and Bergstrom had been partners, so they put Bergstrom in with Gustav and had a double burial. Unfortunately, later they found out that Bergstrom wanted to be cremated. Blanche: Oh, shut up, Rose!

Rose [to Blanche]: And Agnes said you were a lot of hot air, and you said she was just jealous 'cause she wasn't getting any. And I said, "Getting any what?" And you said, "Rice pudding, Rose."

Rose: It was the last night of the Deep Root Vegetable Carnival, and I was having the greatest time. Eating candied turnips and guessing how many sweet potatoes were in the glass jar. Bobbing for yams. I had a knack of always coming up with the firmest, most appealing yams.
