so algorithm is literally named after a guy, what are the chances there's also a mr. al chemy? perhaps they met in al cohol's bar, somewhere in uh albania? or almania? (easy to confuse the two) perhaps in the bar they also met an ocean paleontologist named al gae? [at this point i just look into the dictionary to discover every word beginning with al, thus ruining the game]

@et @lritter who that

[et@mastodon.bayern]

@aeva @lritter This is Al. Or as his wife calls him: "Aaa-aal!"

@et @aeva aeva don't tell me you don't know the reactionary anti family sitcom "Married... With Children"? the *other* show that Family Guy stole from?

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@lritter @et I vaguely recall watching daytime reruns of it out of bored desperation sometime between 1999 and 2006, but like most things that I literally have not thought about in 20 years, the memories thereof have mostly been re-encoded down to a few vague impressions and a small collection of quasifactual fragments of information. For example, I know that this was a different show than "Everybody Loves Raymond", and this Not-Raymond was kind of an ass.

@aeva @et that sums it up nicely

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@lritter @et I give it a 10% chance of having been the family sitcom with the beige muppet in it, but I'm reasonably sure it did not have Urkel in it.

[rygorous@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aeva @lritter the one with the beige muppet? you mean cheers?

[rygorous@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aeva @lritter oh sorry I meant Frasier

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@rygorous @lritter yeah! I think that's the one

[lritter@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aeva @rygorous there was so much beige back then.
