++ ALF

There are still too many kings on this show. Yes, even one king is too many.

The way I wrote his name should suffice for the rest of my reason. Alf the Prentice, King of Faerie, reminds me of this Alf. And I never liked that show. Greatly preferred watching the show with the Dalek-battling Time Lord in the long scarf. And that show is no longer broadcast here (haven't seen it in about 10 years), while the irritating furry creature now has its own talk show (seriously, it does).

Down with Alf.

++ The Parson

Because he makes me think of Parsley, and of "Person"- and so is either nondescript or a vegetable.

And because no one has voted for him yet. Can't allow ourselves to appear easily influenced, now can we?

Actually Ang voted for him once a few days ago. It's scary how I keep track of these things...

Allow to clarify... today no one has voted for him... So I can't be said to be bandwaggoning, can I?

However, any and all are allowed to bandwaggon WITH me. Yes, I have a bit of a double-standard...

Why, I used to have a small Alf puppet that was incredibly soft when I was young...one of my favorite "stuffed animals."

I won't bandwagon to save him but please, please, leave him for awhile longer - just for oldtimes sake.

He always was way to negative. And always disagreed with the Parson, a most sensible fellow.
