Lord of the Bellbottoms.

It has been a rough three months on the island but finally the boys were beginning to adjust. Being the tallest boy and the only one on the island with shoes, Kevin had emerged as the leader, coaxing the others into doing things his way.

Timmy, though shunned at first for his small stature and elastic-waist pants, had become Kevin's righthand man. His loyalty was rewarded with pats on the head and extra helpings of seaweed at mealtimes. Kevin never liked to get his hands dirty, always sending Timmy to do the deed for him. Timmy was young and far too eager to please. Sometimes the boys worried just how far he would go.

Eric kept mostly to himself, spending the days fishing in the lagoon and the nights practicing his dance moves and combing his hair repeatedly.

I think Timmy is at the exact height Kevin needs to....uh, rest a beer on his head.

Elastic waist bellbottoms? Red kerchiefs? Big button shortsleeve shirts? These kids aren't shipwrecked; they're marooned.

[qfe23]

Um - What's wrong with Timmy's left eye? What could've poked it out?

[WhizGidget]

Um... that shadow on Eric's chest? Is that supposed to be hair? On a *BOY* (as in, not a man)...

Um... this is Island of the Lost Chest Hair or something right? Or is his constant need to fish just something that "puts hair on your chest"?

ugh...

[DebR]

I don't understand how Eric is holding his huge bobble-head upright on that skinny little neck and weirdly disproportionate body.

[Kristin]

Timmy's going to crack at any moment.

[Fraulein N]

Dear God, why is Kevin's shirt so c-a-r-e-f-u-l-l-y unbuttoned? What am I talking about; poor Eric doesn't even have a shirt.

[Julie]

Heh, heh, heh...look Eric, if I scratch Timmy behind the ear I can make his leg shake just like my dog Duke.

[Harmony]

Hehehe, glad to see that book getting what it deserves ;) And they're all so clean! It's unnatural! 0_0

Now we know what the Osmonds did with the sons that couldn't sing. Though Timmy, even with his deformed eye, is cuter that Little Jimmy Osmond.

[Spirit Fingers]

All they need is a young Brooke Shields to come and make men out of them.

[Diva Jean]

LOL! The Island that Osmonds Forgot!!

I suppose they have to enter a sequence of numbers on a computer somewhere every 108 minutes (for all the Lost fans...)

I just hope little Kevin doesn't have to go through the metal-detector at the airport.

[Annie]

Ha. I thought it was The Brady boy's.

[Gary]

The boys are gay. They aren't lost, they ran away to "play" with each other. Eric is freaky and likes toys, but there wasn't any, so he uses fish. That's why Timmy is so happy. Their love shack gets bunpin'!!!

[Muffin]

Because of his "small statue"? What did the statue depict, pray tell?

[cee]

Thanks, Muffin. I've been resisting the urge to point that out, but wasn't sure there was anyone else out there as bothered as I was. Guys, Timmy is small of STATURE, although he may have a small statue hidden somewhere; we're not sure. Then there was that whole earlier "chunky spirit" thing where we all got "irratated." Oddly, I was irritated everytime I looked at it, for sure. But the site is too, too funny to quibble much over such. Hmm, maybe a small statue holding a dictionary.

[Mary]

TYPOS people, it can happen to anyone. Cripes...

Thanks for pointing it out though....will change it asap so it won't cause further agony for anyone else.

[cee]

Come on, guys. This site is based on snarkiness. You can't be too surprised that its visitors and commenters get a little snarky sometimes, too. Just adds to the fun for most of us.

[Mary]

No worries Cee....we appreciate all comments, snarky or not. One just feels a wee bit stoopid sometimes when one is caught publishing glaring errors all over the interspace. :)

[Sputnik]

Hey! Why did you change it? "Statue" worked for me! Sort of the like the immunity idol on "Survivor." Timmy's statue may have been small, but at least he wasn't getting his torch snuffed out at tribal council. Kevin is probably getting voted off next, since Timmy has immunity and Eric has been providing fish for the tribe. Timmy is laughing maniacally because he knows that big, strong Kevin is the next to go. All Timmy has to do is get rid of fish-boy and the million dollar prize is all his!

That orange kerchief tied around Timmy's neck must be his buff. The other boys just have no tribal pride.

[macabrechaos]

lmao that was the funniest thing ive heard in a long time i just found a new site to stalk lmao

[samabama]

Just stare at the three of them for 30 seconds or more, and let it all sink in. It is just absoluttely unbelievable that anyone could have bought that pattern, and chosen that fabric to sew those outfits for their boys! What kind of people are these and their ancestors? And where the hell were there husbands anyway? Gauuuuuuuuuuuuddddd have mercy! No wonder this world is such a mess.

[sb]

how come no one is talking about the horrible bright flowered bellbottoms little Eric is wearing? he looks like he's wearing make up too... maybe that's why he was banished to the Forgotten Island in the sixties?

[Tammy]

Oh groovy, it's the Brady Boys..Greg, Peter and Bobby..
