I'm 30 and I've got childhood memories of Alf. It's one of those day's where I'm living in the past. Things sure were more simple back then, the world today sucks.
You got that right I'm glad someone agrees with me now because everything was really simple back then people Complaining about the WiFi and Internet connection at alot of places now and again not fast enough to Slow haveing no charger for there phone or no where to plug it into people always mooning and going stupid or mental because they haven't got a charger on them because they left it behind I hear this every single day portable phone chargers at the wherehouse are only $5 dearest is about $25 and they say they have no money but they always have money for a packet of smokes or a box of codes or Lion Red but things are just gonna get worse before it gets better
You thought the world sucked 4 years ago?! That was pre COVID, pre Taliban ruling Afghanistan and pre Russian invading Ukraine. I'm going to go out on a limb and say the world is absolutely awesome today in Feb 2022, because who knows what's coming for us next!* 🤞😬 *most probably China
I haven't heard this song for about 25 years and it came out I remember every word and sound in it. I had it on VHS and sang along hundreds of times when I was a schoolboy. And I was absolutely sure I'd meet Alf one day. And he was my friend
The 80s spoiled us…Proof! Usually I make that statement on music topics, but then again, what’s this? A gal I was dating in 86, during the Alf era, bought me a Talking Alf. One of my favorite gifts ever. She surprised me with it since there was no holiday involved. Crazy. I haven’t seen her for over thirty years. I wonder if she’s still “cute”. She knew I was a huge Alf fan and totally busted my balls over it, jokingly , then gave me the talking Alf. I was 18 years old and had a talking Alf. My long haired, metal head, friends tried to tease me. The teasing let up since I had one of the only cars of our bunch and I gave Alf shotgun, unless my girlfriend was along. Eventually my best friend found tiny black heavy metal t shirts and we dressed Alf accordingly. I watch Alf on ROKU now.
Alf is a relic of the bygone age when coked-up network executives could still say: "I'll tell them what to like....Spuds MacKenzie is bullshit...I've got a GENIUS idea. Let's take Little Shop of Horrors, Gremlins and the Muppets, put it in a blender and then throw on TV what comes out.... MAGnifiQUE!!!!"
A writer on the 80s cult hit, Alf, during his active heroin addiction, Stahl eventually kicked the habit and began producing novels that include Permanent Midnight, Perv: A Love Story, and I, Fatty - to name just a few. Recently, he sat down with The Fix and talked about his life during heroin addiction and his life after.
