Alf was from Melmac

I got into an argument w/ someone at work about this. Dude... I think I know my circa 80's TV shows. I have no idea where this person got off challenging me to a game of TV trivia. I am the master... just ask my friends... or sister for that matter. She'll tell you. I once played the FRIENDS trivia game against my 6th grader cousin (who is obsessed by the way) and beat him. If any of you all have played that game, you know that there are some special cards in there w/ obscure random facts/questions that even the most die-hard FRIENDS fan would have difficulties guessing. These cards have something along the lines of: What kind of cereal was always on top of the fridge in Chandler and Joy's apartment? OR Monica's broom was what color? Gaming at its finest people.

Back to my Alf argument. This guy was all talking about how Alf was his favorite show growing up and that he had seen and remembered almost every episode. Honey... I OWN every episode. No, I was not as skilled w/ the VCR back when I was 7 and taped every episode in succession w/o commercials. (Tangent) I borrowed my friend's tape (shout out Linz) of random Alf episodes in college and left it in the VCR when I went on a trip. My Dad taped over the whole thing w/ an episode of ER. ER for crying out loud!!!! I was livid, but ultimately it was my fault (come on though... you can check the tape before taping over something!!!). I didn't know how to tell my friend her tape was gone... her memories from 1986 were covered by Dr. Carter whining to some nurse about taking pain killers (douche!). Well, luckily my mom felt sorry for me and found some random nut on eBay who was selling copies of the entire ALF series. $50 later, we were rolling to the sweet sounds of cat jokes and Willie Tanner (score!). So all was well and I didn't have to join the witness protection program.

But damn... I do have every episode, and this so-called fan at work is saying Alf was from some Planet that didn't even start w/ an "M". I don't care to remember what the name was, but believe you me, it was WAY the hell OFF. I countered that he was mistaken, that the name of Alf's home is actually Melmac. To my dismay, he begins arguing w/ me that I'm wrong... like right in front of people. Oh no buster... don't challenge me to who-knows-their-shit-better. I will win every time. After we adjourned, I went back to my trusty PC and found my back up and sent him the link. Tail-between-his-leg, he came by and shook my hand. Nice gesture, but don't ever doubt me. Fraggle Rock challenge anyone??? Doozers, Mogly, Red (my sur-name), Whembley...

Damn... I watch too much TV. I need to pick up a book and... WAIT!!! CHARLES IN CHARGE IS ON!!! See ya!
