When I found myself in Laguna Beach over the holidays I had to stop and take a picture with "The Greeter."
I used to wave at this statue all of the time when I was a little kid and we'd drive by it. I'm glad it's still here.

that dude is creepy.
OMG. I used to wave at him too, when I was a kid! I'm glad he's still there, too!
Hey Jorge,
When I read this, I thought about Hurley as a little kid and was wondering: Did you look anything like Caden Waidyatilleka when you were 10?
Greetings from Luxembourg
Looks as scary as the giant Amish people outside of Roadside America in Pennsylvania
I´m glad you found the greeter again. And I´m glad becouse I met u. Your character in Lost is very nice, but your blog is nicer.
I will visit u from time to time.
I liked a lot the post about the gloves in Wisconsin.
kinda creepy. But childhood memories like that do rock.
is that guy still there?..the last time i was in laguna beach it was on fire..scary...
Does anyone remember the "Big Boy" or "Happy Chef" restaurants? Nothing scarier to a five year old than a 20 or 30 foot tall fat, fiberglass giant!

The greeter looks like Tom Hanks did after a year on the island in Castaway! Get as many pictures as you can while you're still in Hawaii- you'll be glad you did. Love reading your blog-you've got a great sense of humor and one darn really cute Nunu!
Now he has a magic finger. What's with the pointing finger thingy?
Hmm, looks like he could make good use of the magic finger glove.
Nice pic.
He...he frightens me a little.
Is it just me, or does he look like the cowardly lion...,
At first glance I thought it was the creepy dead pirate dude from Pirates of the Caribbean.
Pero Maritoñi!! Qué haces aquiiii.
Jorgito es mío desde hace meses. Mío, sólo mío, míiiio... mi tesoro!!!
I always thought this was the Pull My Finger monster. (ah the gateway to Pacific coast highway day trips to Newport Beach, Huntington and Seal- Great memories!)
This has nothing to do with that, but I remembered you mentioning Snuggie with a foot pocket, and...

Damn Angie! You beat me to it. I was going to make a post about this when I saw one at my sister's house.
Maybe I will anyway.
Thankfully he chose to be a "greeter" and not a physician...just imagine getting a prostate exam from that guy?!
Jorge,
He looks like one of my uncles! But with twice the IQ.
Lol!
Wow, I think it looks like the lion from the Wizard of Oz in his street clothes.
