The Abominable Snow Hat

When it comes to subjects that are most likely to appear as a headline in the tabloids or be told to a hushed group of kiddie campers around the campfire, cryptozoology has never really interested me. Bigfoot? Blah. The Loch Ness Monster? Bo-ring. Chupcabra? *yawn* The Jersey Devil? I prefer the Chicago Blackhawks, thanks.

And yet, I find I have a certain soft spot for that other stalwart of the magically-spooky beastie set, the yeti. Not sure why, as that from what I've gathered through pop cultural osmosis it's basically Bigfoot: The Himalayan Edition, but there's something about the yeti that just strikes my fancy.

So it was probably fortuitous that loyal reader Z pointed me in the direction of the following hat:

Because now you're all in for a post all about yeti hats, the fact that the seasons have finally taken a turn for the warmer be darned.

Seriously, though; how can you not like a hat that's as cute as this? It's all cutely aggressive and stuff.

If I had this hat, I'd probably be all grinny and pointing, too.

Hey, wait a sec; this hat looks familiar. Where have I...

Oh, yeah! I featured this hat back in October (albeit on an entirely different model.) But this time around, I can now direct you to the store where you can buy your very own yeti hat. Because I'm generous like that.

Thanks, Z!
