Got any cheese?

So, I'm reading the paper this morning and there was a list of celebrity birthdays. Guess who turns 29 today?? Steve Urkel! I KNOW! Makes me feel old, too. I was thinking, there were 2 groups of people...you either loved Steve Urkel (from Family Matters) or you hated him with a raging passion so bad that you wanted to hire a hit man to wipe him off the face of the earth.

Well, let me tell you, my mother was in the "LOVED" category. No joke. Now I realize that by telling you this, I am admitting that my mother is a total nerd (but now you will understand why I am like I am) but, it has to be told. My mom LOVED Urkel. So much so that we even bought her the talking Urkel doll one year for Christmas.

I distinctly remember when the episode aired where he turned into "Stefan Urquelle" and my mom called me laughing hysterically saying "Are you watching?? He's so cute..etc etc.." I pretty much told her, "Mom, you've done lost yo mind!"

TGIF indeed. :)

The worst was when they cloned him and had both Steve and Stefan at the same time. I was able to download the sonmg "The Urkel Dance" a few years ago from Napster. Hilarious.

OMG that was a blast from the past. I loved family matters but Urkel got on my nerves! Visiting from Michele's but I will be back on my own!

Oh, I am definitely on US soil here - first football with Kat and Steve Urkell with you, Angie...

Sorry, hon - never heard of him :-)

I must have had a deprived childhood :-)

OMG...I was one of those people who wanted to put my fist through the tv when I saw Steve Urkel but I never changed the channel and watched the show anyway. Hmm, I think I was outnumbered by my other family members and my father held the remote hostage.

I cannot believe there was actually a doll. Bet that's worth something on e-bay today!

I used to love Urkel, but only in small doses. I recently caught him on some VH1 / TVland special and damn!! He's now about six five and quite hot for a former nerd kid. You go Jaleel!!
