2020 Annual Recap Post

2020 YETI YEAR IN REVIEW

All right let's do this

Happy 15th Anniversary of the Yeti Crab's Discovery!

2005 was a notable year for me personally: I first started this blog, my niece was born, something I wrote was performed on a New York stage, I got married.

And in March of that year, Kiwa Hirsuta, the yeti crab, was first discovered in the deep vents of the South Pacific Ocean south of Easter Island along the Pacific-Antarctic Ridge 7,200 ft below the surface living on hydrothermal vents.

In honor of this 15th Anniversary year, here's a Hirsuta Hodge-Podge of everything yeti crab I found recently!

The story will take place in a remote cabin in the frigid Canadian Yukon. Visitors who are brave enough will venture into the torn-apart logging camp and follow a trail of blood into a labyrinth of caves in Yeti territory.

The Real Ghostbusters

Quotes from here:

"One of my favourite episodes of The Real Ghostbusters is "Cold cash and hot water" and not just for Peter's dad or the great animation but also because Hob Anagarak was such a wonderfully designed monster.

This is a painted model sheet from the intro of "Slimer and The Real Ghostbusters" and even though his colour scheme and overall size are completely different...it's still ubdeniably Hob Anagarak!

Interestingly the character name on the sheet isn't Hob but "Abominable Snowman" which may well be a direct nod to Cold Cash and hot water and the legend of the Hob."
