… and other things I learned from an episode of Saved by the Bell

• Ed Alonzo wasn’t just the annoying guy that worked at their school’s cafe. He’s an actual magician. You can book him for parties. He’s also not the least memorable recurring character on the show (that would be Stacey Carosi). I hope he’s available for my 30th!
• I’m okay with a teacher asking Slater to the Sadie Hawkin’s dance. Especially after that incident at the ‘88 Olympics. And all those beauty pageants.
• Mr Balding on girls: “They all get headaches Mr Morris.”
• It’s okay to reference Fatal Attraction in day to day conversation. And River Phoenix.
• The Bon Jovi thing kind of blows my mind… but explains her tasseled jacket.
• I can cosign this brand of dramatic irony. Silly Zach.
• Slater “won” this round, even though he ultimately loses Kelly to Zach. If Yahoo groups are any measure of success — and they are — Slater is currently kicking Gosselaar’s ass.
