I convinced one of my colleagues to buy her daughters some Choose Your Own Adventure books. They arrived the other day and one of them was this one.
When you think of Abominable you think of Snowmen. That's really about it. I was under the impression that the word abmoninable was created just to describe snowmen and that the Snowman Guild created Frosty to counter this character assasination and to create some positive press. This is incorrect. After some research Abominable is from the Latin, to Old French to the Middle English form (circa 14th Century) Abominable that we enjoy today. The progression if you're interested is abminbilis, to abominari, to abhor which means to detest, loathsome etc. Now if you ask me that's a pretty harsh tag to carry around, being abominable and all. That's probably why no one sees him. He's kinda like that friend you know that went out with one of your female friends for a while then he treated her bad and no one sees him cos he's a dickhead. He doesn't come out to social functions with your group cos he knows you think he's a dickhead and it's because he's lost touch with everyone he becomes more and more socially retarded or abominable.
I think that's what may have happened to our Snowman. Treated a girl bad and now he is sad.
*UPDATE*
They turned this sucker into a DVD would you believe? It even has our friend Frankie Muniz...or is it Casey Affleck? Did you know that Frankie was homeschooled? He's also a social miscreant and his peers find him abominable. How's that for a throw back. I'm all about circular motion.
