1. Careful or they'll gradually catch up to you. Then yer in trubble.
Actually, it was never revealed, what they'd do to you if they ever caught up to you. Perhaps they only wanted a hug.

2. I'd rather hug a mummy than one of those big-eyed lizard-fucks.
But I ain't no mummy-hugger, just so ya know.

6. Enik
He was from the past. The big green guys were the product of de-evolution.

13. Pro basketball player and coach Bill Laimbeer was a Sleestak
You learn something new every day.


http://www.panopticist.com/2005/02/bill_laimbeer_was_a_sleestak.php

No, seriously: Bill Laimbeer, the widely loathed giant who played center for the Detroit Pistons from 1982 to 1993, appeared as a Sleestak in at least one episode of the cheesy ’70s show Land of the Lost, a program that terrorized a generation of young kids on Saturday mornings. I discovered the Laimbeer connection on my own a couple of years ago, when I watched a two-episode LotL videotape I had bought during a bout of nostalgia. This obscure bit of trivia is, I admit, probably only of interest to North Americans born between about 1963 and 1973 who remember the nightmares caused by those hissing, rubber-suited monsters. Like the entire show itself, the Sleestaks seem hilariously campy now, but they were terrifying to a six-year-old. Also terrifying was the show’s incredibly weird music, a bizarre amalgam of eerie synthesizer bleeps and down-home banjo pickin’.

16. Do not ignore the story of the Sleestaks!
Remember, Enik was one of them, and he thought he had gone back in time to before they had developed intelligence. WRONG! He actually arrived after the heyday, and they had devolved....
