Hackers prepare for first "national holiday" in their honor

  • Anonymous

    Well, it is obvious that Bigfoot is smiling because the artists have painted them more correctly.

    Yetis are reportedly described by eyewitnesses as reddish and darker browns, with each foot’s hallux (their big toe) sticking out to the side, more like a pongid than a hominid. Bigfoot/Sasquatch feet are more like yours and mine, that is humanlike, like these models, but, of course, larger than the feet of Homo sapiens.

    But for cultural reasons and because white ornaments tend to show better against the emerald background of evergreen trees, I think albino Yetis are here to stay.

    Enjoy them.

    Happy Holidays,

    Not that it’s a holiday I observe, but the top-of-the-head hanging point bothers me.

    Screw xmas ornaments. Make them into salt and pepper shakers.

  • Gilgongo

    The hanging point appears to be standard-issue Xmas bauble grade. Perhaps you were wanting something less seasonal?

  • bklynchris

    Why is Sasquatch smiling more than Yeti?

    • querent

      He’s warmer.

  • Believe_It_Tour

    Perfect combo for the mini Bigfoot plaster casts ornaments from Bigfoot Surplus.

  • ackpht

    At last I understand the difference between Bigfoot and a yeti. It’s the paint.

  • igpajo

    I want one with a Santa hat.

  • UnnecessaryUmlaut

    Cool idea, though Bigfoot is lookin’ a little Dr. Cornelius-y.
