Even ALF is on Twitter

A lot of people might think of ALF as "that stupid 80s sitcom with the puppet," but I think it was genuinely funny. The talk show that he had a few years ago? Not so much. But I'd love to see more ALF on television.

Until then, there's this: ALF is on Twitter! It looks like it's really him (and by "him" I mean someone who is officially authorized to tweet as ALF, aka "Gordon Shumway"). It's not verified by Twitter yet, but the name of the account is "Verified_ALF."

He hasn't said much yet, but what he does say seems to revolve around eating cats.
