The Rued Morgue requests that you share any and all Sleestak thoughts and memories below. Doesn't matter how sleesey they are, the Morgue will not judge. We only celebrate all that is Sleestakular.
When I look all around
I can't believe the things I've found
Now I need to find my way!
I'm lost, I'm lost, find me...
Livin' in the Land of the Lost!!!

My God! I thought I'd died and gone to Hell! The Sleestk nightmare of all nightmares!
Ross, I think it's finally happened -- you've lost it. Um, I'll correct that you've "lad of the lost" it! Love your blog anyway.
Man, how did all those typos appear in my comment? It's Sleestak, dammit! And "Land of the Lost."
Actually I like "Lad of the Lost". Maybe that's what I've finally become.
I love your Sleestak photos. You made up some really funny stuff!

I didn't make any of these! This is all stuff I found on the net and just threw together. But it's a fun collection regardless, no?
That is so effing creepy.
HI! [I am back] Now, quick! Fake excited!!
What's a Sleestak?

What kind of sci-fi fan are you?
(Clearly one who wasn't 4 years old in 1975.)
Info on Sleestak.
It's worth mentioning that writers like D.C. Fontana, Larry Niven, and especially David Gerrold had big roles in creating and crafting the Sleestak, as well as the rest of the LAND OF THE LOST.
Why did Enik the Sleestak have to slowly re-state his sorry situation every time he ran into the Marshalls? You could practically hear the sigh of boredom each time he said, "I am like you, Dr. Marshall, caught because here because I passed through a time doorway--" He got nothing but blank stares in return.
Poor Enik, Sleestak from the future. He was like George Sanders in a lizard suit and a disco vest.
Even in the Land of the Lost where he might have been killed by dinosaurs or the primitive Sleestaks, Enik probably died of ennui.

Allow me to geek out and mention that by the time one gets to Season Three of Land of the Lost (a viewing chore I can't really recommend), Enik is quite the antagonist bastard and is far more in cahoots (sp?) with the Sleestak than the Marshalls.
I suspect you are on to something though. He must've gotten really frustrated with restating his case and realized the only place in the LotL where he could wield some amount of pointless power was by hanging with his lizard descendants.
It's a bit of a shame the series didn't spin off. I'd love to have seen a sitcom based around the Marshalls getting home, but being forced to bring Enik along in the process. It'd be like ALF on acid and called That Darn Enik! I'm sure you can envision the rest on your own.
Aww thank you Sirs!
The Sleestaks did indeed Rule!
I always wished I could somehow be one for Halloween as a kid (Umm and adult)
I did vocals in a crazy metal funk industrial grindcore band called MONASTAT 7 and we had a song in tribute called simply "The Sleestak" and the remix (the Sleestak Butt mix) is also on the CD (Now Available Without a Prescription)...I believe you can download the whole deal free at monastat7.com...It even had an intro featuring a Cylon talking (From the Real Battlestar Galactica)
Then our spin-off band Monastat 2600 also had a sequel song called "The Sleestaks Invade new York"...
