Who would you rather live with , Spock , ET or Alf ? Hands down I would prefer to live with Spock. No drama, well except every 7 years. Stimulating conversation is a plus. I dont think I would like living with E.T. since he would have his hands in my reeces pieces and I dont think I could put up with Alf's mouth all the time.

ALF seems like he would be the most fun.

I think I would find E.T. too boring to hang with and I'd feel the need to punch ALF in the face after too long.
So, Spock it is! He actually reminds me of my dad, so I bet we'd get along great.

Yeah, ET and Alf would get punched if they hung around me too long. Spock could get annoying too, but then I could send him off to solve some problem that my brain couldn't quite work out, which would (a) solve the brain teaser and (b) get him out of my hair for some period of time.

Spock easily. The place would be really organized. If anyone suspects him to be alien he can just wear a toque like in City on The Edge of Forever.

I gotta say Alf. That guy seems a little more laid back than Spock. I think you could have a beer and watch some television with Alf. Spock would question everything too much. He's a little too uptight for me.
I couldn't hang out with E.T. because he's wierd lookin'. What with his giant head and all. Plus, he doesn't speak much English, and I rely on good convos. So he's out. Alf seems to have a good command of the English language. Plus, I don't like cats.

I don't think E.T. can handle his alcohol very well. Alf is much more fun and I'd assume he can drink with the best of 'em.

All the stoners will say E.T. because he can grow instant weed with his glow-finger.

All the intellectuals (and Squidward) will say Spock, because he's all business and matter-of-fact-y...and kind of unnervingly bland. (kidding)

Then there's Alf. Well, Gordon Shumway anyway...likes cats, has a smart allek-y way about him, and his nose looks like a penis. A winner with the ladies. They love the bad boys...

I don't think I could stand living with any of the above...well, unless ALF keeps his nose outta the equation.

Spock would be fun because I'd mess with him. Slip him a magic brownie and watch him pontificate himself into a giggling mess on the couch.

Correct!

So these days dreaming of listening to "Graceland" by Paul Simon with Carrotman are but fleeting fantasies that will never be! Back to Talkbass then!

Can I choose between Lt Uhura, Elliott's mum or Kate Tanner, or are we stuck in a gay fantasy world again?

I don't know... I seem to recall (and I am no Trekkie) there was an episode where Spock apparently was under the influence and jammed with some hippy band. I can't cite the episode by number or name, so don't ask - and I won't tell.

Then there's the infamous "Ballad of Bilbo Baggins" where Spock (OK, OK, Leonard Nimoy) was clearly on something...

But I still chose Alf. Even though I am a cat lover, you can't fault the guy for liking to eat [beeeeep]...

Despite the fact that I've never been a huge fan of his show, I'd have to go with Alf...just as long as he would not get the urge to eat my Siamese/Tabby kitty.

The "ears" have it. Spock all the way.

ET is crazy lame, and the phone bill he'd rack up is simply unacceptable. And Alf? No way, I have a cat.

Spock seems like the only logical choice.
