Land of the Lost

Rick Marshall, Will, Holly, dinosaurs, and even Sleestaks - this site has everything you ever wanted to know about the Sid and Marty Kroft TV series Land of the Lost but couldn't find anyone to ask. Complete with video captures from the series and an extremely comprehensive and well- written episode guide, this is one of the best nostalgia sites I've ever visited. Remember Cha-ka, the little missing-link monkey boy from the Pakuni tribe? Joy of joys, this site contains a Pakuni - English dictionary! If you're ever lucky enough to catch reruns of Land of the Lost, you'll finally be able to tell what they're saying. If that doesn't make you "kasa", nothing will.

Repairman Jack

The Official Repairman Jack Website is home to F. Paul Wilson, author of the popular Repairman Jack series of books which include The Tomb, Legacies, Conspiracies, and, most recently, Haunted Air. Repairman Jack is, as explained on the site, " ...a denizen of Manhattan who dwells in the interstices of modern society. He has no official identity, no social security number, pays no taxes. When you lose faith in the system, or the system lets you down, you go to a guy who's outside the system." The website is a great companion to the books and features a message board, a FAQ, descriptions of all the books, a cross reference chart for the various books and stories, and much more. If you're a fan of Repairman Jack (who will soon have his own movie) this site is a must-visit. And if you're not a fan, visit the site and check it out. You just might find yourself the newest member of the Repairman Jack fan club.

Marryingman.com

If you want to marry the woman of your dreams but don't have a clue as to how to pop the question, you need this website. This hot spot on the Web is, of course, geared towards selling things, but also offers information on how to pop the question, where to go on the honeymoon, how to throw a good bachelor party, and more. If you ignore the attempts to sell you rings, vacation packages, and tuxedos, (unless you really need these things) this can be a fun site. Just don't sign up for the reminder service the site offers unless you want to be henpecked to death - which is, perhaps, what marriage is all about after all.

Harley Race

Had he been born a couple of decades later, eight-time former National Wrestling Alliance world heavyweight champion Harley Race might have enjoyed the riches and fame of sports entertainers such as The Rock, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, and Triple H. As it is, Race has to settle with being a well-respected legend who owns his own wrestling federation. Not a bad consolation price. Race's website serves both as a portal for his wrestling league (the WLW) and as an online store for fans to purchase videos. The site is also loaded with photos and information about Race's storied career. If you're a fan of classic wrestling, race (pun intended) on over to this site today!
