Yeti or not, here I come! *ahem*

Come out! Come out, wherever you are!!!The search for the Yeti has gone high tech. The latest "search party", if you will, is from Japan and employing infrared cameras in it's attempt to prove the existance of the Yeti. Team leader Yoshiteru Takahashi doesn't want to capture it but does want to shake it's hand(?!).

Two things occur to me, the first is that Mr Takahashi doesn't seem to have considered that if he finds the Yeti it may want to rip his hand off instead of shaking it, and second, maybe it doesn't want to be found.

Que yeti singing chorus of "I Hold Your Hand In Mine."

Interesting that he assumes the yeti is a gaijin, and would want to shake hands. A proper Japanese yeti would bow.

I have yeti to see any evidence to convince me that such a creature exists. This can only encourage people to visit the area, which will only upset the delicate environment that exists there. I think it is truly abominable.

Last night on Comedy Central's Life with Busey they went to a UFO expert, then took him with thrm to talk to a Yeti expert.

They started arguing, Yeti dude didn't believe in UFOs and UFO guy thought the Yeti dude was a hack. It ended in a nerd fight, much slapping and whining.

Yeti + lots of Epil Stop = Busey?

I think that we should respect the yeti's wish to not "come out". Maybe it's not ready to be out. Can you imagine the size of the closet in which a gay yeti would have to hide?

Why does this make me think of some guy wandering through the alpine wilderness shouting "Yoooooo hooooooo! Mister Yeeeeeeeeeetiiiiiiiiii!"
