I know him well as a pop cultural icon back in the 80s, even though I honestly never watched any of it.

Shame, RIP.

Sad really, all these people passing away... Alan Young, the voice of Scrooge McDuck, passed away last month as well. Least they were in passing of a ripe old age.

Why the hell did google translate cm to inches? 84 cm is small. 84 inches is fucking huge.

That sucks. :|

ALF was awesome. I was born in 1985 and sort of remember it. I loved it as a kid, according to my mom. Went back and watched some of it again when I got older.

I still have one of these that my parents got me for Christmas one year when I was...maybe 3:



That's not a photo of mine, but mine is exactly like it. It's still in fairly good condition for almost 30 years old.

The guy inside the suit died. The suit and the voice of ALF are still around, though.
