Hurley is easily my favorite character on LOST (which is my favorite show), so when I discovered he had a blog, I immediately subscribed.

DispatchesFromTheIsland is less about LOST than it is Jorge’s life on the island of Hawaii. Even if you’re not a fan of the show, you should check it out. His writing is personal, engaging and entertaining – all things that make you want to keep reading.

I’ll also blame him for showing me Manbabies.com (see image below). Hilarious and disturbing a sat the same time.

So, thanks for freaking me out Jorge.

Found this ad in the back of an old comic while looking up content for a another post. Not sure what’s the funniest thing about this ad.

1. The fact that you could send away a coupon from a comic and get a monkey.

2. The text accompanying the ad:

Darling Pet Monkey $18.95

This Squirrel Monkey makes an adorable pet and amusing companion. Show it affection and enjoy its company. Almost human with its warm eyes, your family will love it. The YOUNG monkeys grow about 12 inches high. Eats same food as you do (even likes lolipops); simple to care for and train. FREE cage, FREE leather collar & leash, monkey toy, and instructions included. Live delivery guaranteed. Only $18.95 express collect.

I have trouble believing that this was legitimate.

  • You ever fantasized about Princess Leah wearing Daisy Duke shorts.
  • You have the doors of your X-wing welded shut and you have to get in through the window.
