Earl the Iguana

In Memorium, Earl the Iguana Stein (2001 - 2008)

Earl the Iguana has passed away in at home in New York. He was 7 years old . Earl first shot to superstardom on the hit CBS program, Big Brother 8, due to frequent discussions of Earl and his patented "Earl face." Earl was able to parlay his successes into a cameo role in "Iguana Pimp" (straight-to-DVD, 2007) and a starring role in the upcoming feature, "Iguanas Just Want to Have Fun" (posthumously to be released in 2009).

Earl lived a great life that most iguanas could only dream of. Living in the lavish accommodations of "The Iguana Kingdom" located in the Stein family basement, Earl enjoyed many luxuries including the finest heat lamps, delicious fruits & veggies, and even iguana vitamins.

In all sincerity, Earl was a big part of my life for the past 7 years. As a pet, he was somewhat boring to watch, impossible to play with, and angry at the world - overall, he was quite surly. However, he was my surly iguana and he will be sorely missed. RIP Earl.
