How do you like that, even among misfits, you’re misfits ~ Yukon Cornelius

Happiness is Yukon Cornelius

I love Yukon Cornelius, one of my favorite days on the Appalachian Trail was running into a chubby hiker, with red-hair and beard and when I asked him his trail name, he said Yukon Cornelius!

Yukon Cornelius is the man, I wanted to grow up to be Yukon Cornelius. I originally had the red hair, eventually had the red beard, but I never quite lived up to Yukon! Let’s recount this man’s accomplishments. First, he searched the Yukon eternally in search of gold, and had the ability to taste gold off his axe hitting the ground. Do you know how many Alaskans would kill for that ability? He helped the misfits on the Island of Misfit Toys, he fought a Bumble and won! Then, he made the Bumble his friend. Do you have any idea how much I would love if my one mark on the world was to be the man who found, battled and befriended a Yeti! Quite simply Yukon, is the hero of Rudolph’s story, no Yukon, no Christmas.

Quite simply to hell with Santa, Krampus, the Grinch and even Rudolph himself. Nothing says Christmas like Yukon freakin Cornelius! Although Hermey the Dentist comes pretty damn close.
