Monster Mondays: LAND OF THE LOST

When my dad and I traveled the roller coaster circuit every Six Flags summer, I used to scream “Daddy, do something!” Then we’d both scream: “Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” all the way down that first big drop. Now, I tend to scream this when I’m in the tub and I picture myself in a teeny-tiny raft, falling down the water pouring out of the faucet…

Today, I present a l’il YouTube fun straight outta my ’70s past. It’s a gem, a true gem, and I remember watching this episode as if it happened at lunch time.

Notes to Self:

1. As a kid, I used to feel sorry for Cha-ka… now, he kinda creeps me out more than Sleestaks.

2. Let me rock you, Cha-ka kan.

3. In Cha-kanese, Sleestak = Sareesataka! The moment I learned this today, I also learned that I have a rare disease called Sareesataka! Tourette’s Syndrome.

4. Holly is ME. I would totally be naming all of the dinosaurs pet names and thinking that they’re cute… that is, until I saw their teeth up-close.

5. OMG, how did I never notice the backup vocals in the opening song: “Lost-lost-lost-lost!”

6. I think I still kind of have a crush on “Will.” Tee-hee!

A Couple of Questions for You:

1. With an older a fresh, grown-up view of the show, which do you find creepier now, Cha-ka or the Sleestaks?

2. Sareesataka??!!!

A Little Personal History

When my dad and I traveled the roller coaster circuit every Six Flags summer, I used to scream “Daddy, do something!” Then we’d both scream: “Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” all the way down that first big drop. Now, I tend to scream this when I’m in the tub and I picture myself in a teeny-tiny raft, falling down the water pouring out of the faucet… and yes, as the audiences watches my teeny tiny raft plunge into the abyss that is the bath water, the CGI effects are just as awful. [So what about my bath time rubber ducky dinosaurs]?!

Sareesataka!
