I saw the ALF one and I thought I as going to die. And I hate Gunsmoke, because of these reasons:

1) I hate Westerns
And
2) It got GI cancelled!

You hear on the news about a volcano erupting, and you ask, "Why don't they explode a bomb in a tunnel near the base?"

You hear about your community theater doing a production of "Hamlet," and you think, "No, I'm not looking for a musical."

You refuse to give up searching movie listings trying to find "Tongo the Ape Man."

You find a piece of red quartz and firmly believe you have 3 wishes by sundown.

You're planning to drive across the country and you get a magnifying glass in a painstaking search on the map for Horner's Corners, Kansas.

You are convinced you can turn your radio into a transmitter with pliers and screwdriver.

You are tempted to enter a room with the warning sign, "Danger: Radioactive Material", because you want to become superhumanly strong and have superhuman eyesight and energy.

You like the idea of floating in a hotair balloon, so you glue raincoats together with tree sap and make one.

Instead of just saying, "May lightning strike!", you get a bamboo pole, cover it with lead, and stick it in...

You make yourself sick of sunflower seeds trying to find one that will give you telepathy.

Oh well, let's see.

You go to college and you seriously scare your roommate because you stay up until 4 in the morning taping episodes.

Instead of studying for finals, you get into long debates over why the Professor and Mary Ann make a better couple than the Professor and Ginger.

When choosing your roommate for next year instead of asking "what are your interests?" you start with "Which castaway is your favorite?"

When your Professor starts to talk about Shakespeare, you immediately start humming Carmen.

You email each of the surviving castaways and invite them for a reunion dinner in your dorm room.

Whenever you don't have your homework done, you tell the teacher that it's Gilligan's fault.

You accept a job as a receptionist and waste time writing on GI message boards.


These are all purely hypothetical, of course...
