hrmm. i am stumped for any reply, witty, inane, inappropriate, anything...
....i got nothing regarding wombat. SOZ |
psst... Bernie. Make a joke about Clavus. Isn't he the Mighty Wombat?
|
Clavus is a mighty wombat?? dubya tee eff?
The hell you say! i never got the memo on that one. <small>*wonders how many other memos have been undelivered...?*</small> So... does a <i>mighty</i> wombat wear a cape or have any special super powers? |
Nah, it's more of an honorary title. But I still plan on killing him so I can be the Mighty Wombat. You know, like santa claus...
|
OMG YOU KILLED SANTA CLAUS????? O_O
|
There can be only one
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ntadomepng.png Santa Claus. May your reign be long and prosper Zephyr66. All Hail the new Lord Claus! |
I never said I killed Santa, Tim Allen killed santa...
Besides, I prefer the wombat title.... GH, you can be the new Santa if you want. |
Damn... what are we supposed to do with all these dead Santas now?
|
Actually, I think it's just the one.
So in conclusion, Santa Claus is a wombat. |
If "The Land From Down Under" was not playing I think that this song would be appropriate as well:
<font size=1>notice </font><Font size=2>wombat</font><font size=1> in the ninth line</font> Police - On Any Other Day You want something corny? You got it There’s a house on my street And it looks real neat I’m the chap who lives in it There’s a tree on the sidewalk There’s a car by the door I’ll go for a drive in it And when the wombat comes He will find me gone He’ll look for a place to sit My wife has burned the scrambled eggs The dog just bit my leg My teenage daughter ran away My fine young son has turned out gay Cut off my fingers in the Door of my car How could I do it? My wife is proud to tell me Of her love affairs How could she do this to me? My wife has burned the scrambled eggs The dog just bit my leg My teenage daughter ran away My fine young son has turned out gay And it would be ok on any other day And it would be ok on any other day Throw down the morning papers And spill my tea I don’t know what’s wrong with me The cups and plates are in a Conspiracy I’m covered in misery My wife has burned the scrambled eggs The dog just bit my leg My teenage daughter ran away My fine young son has turned out gay And it would be ok on any other day And it would be ok on any other day And it would be ok on any other day |
Sticky... I love that song. I used to sing it all the time.
/off to dig up my Police albums and get myself a turntable on which to play them... |
Steve miller has something to say about this!

You don't know how to read, do you?

JP:
This .... http://www.wombats.net/wombat-pic.jpg Is a Wombat. Wombats are terrestrial, burrowing marsupials, native to Australia. "It is a fairly large, solidly built animal with a squat, round, bearlike body, small ears and eyes, and a large naked nose. Its thick, coarse fur varies in colour from sandy brown to grey and black, and is sometimes flecked with fawn... "They have short legs, large paws and long, strong claws which are used in the excavation of burrows. The forepaws are used for digging and after pushing the dirt to one side the wombat will back out, moving the loose dirt with both the front and back paws. It differs from all other marsupials by having a single pair of upper and lower incisors (front teeth). These teeth are never ground away as they are both rootless and never stop growing; which is just as well as the wombat often uses them for cutting through obstructions, much like a beaver! Being marsupials, female wombats have a pouch that in their case opens backward to prevent dirt and debris entering while burrowing.... "Wombats are mostly nocturnal, usually coming out at night to graze when temperatures are lower. However, in cold periods they may sometimes be seen about during the day either grazing or basking in the sun. They graze for between 3 and 8 hours a night, during which time they may travel many kilometres and visit up to four burrows within their home range to rest or tidy up the burrow. Although they are solitary animals, with only one wombat inhabiting any one burrow, the overlap of home ranges does occasionally result in a number of wombats using the same burrow. To avoid the overlap of feeding areas they use scent-marking, vocalisations and aggressive displays. Wombats not only leave their burrow to graze but will also spend time rubbing themselves against logs or branches. If used often enough, these rubbing posts may be recognised by their worn or polished appearance. "The distinctive cube shaped dung of the wombat is a useful indication of its comings and goings. Any new object within a home range is a prime target for marking with dung, particularly if it is elevated. Fallen trees, fresh mushrooms, rocks and even an upright stick have been found with dung on top! The cube shape means that dung is less likely to roll off such objects. "The rump of the wombat is covered by a very tough, thick skin. If threatened, a wombat will dive into a nearby burrow or hollow log, using its rump as protection from the teeth and claws of its attacker. The wombat is also capable of crushing attackers against the burrow roof. Their natural enemies are Tasmanian devils and eagles... "The diet of the wombat is composed entirely of plant material. Its main food is native grasses but shrubs, roots, sedges, bark and herbs are also eaten, while moss seems to be a particular delicacy. At times of food shortages they may dig up sections of dead grass to get at the roots...." Wombats may be thought of as ground living Koala bears with a less specialized diet and less well funded PR. You asked. |

Now the big question is what is more crucial to this thread, Tophat's Encyclopedia entry, or Astro's Joyous 80's rock?
|
Oh, rock 'n roll is bitchin', and far more crucial than eriudition.
(On the other hand, I hate Hate HATE! how quicktime takes over my browser, so I won't install it, so no tasty tunes for me.) |
For the record I looked for the police song before I went down under. I also looked for the punk cover of this song but couldn't find that either.
Now where was I oh yes -WOMBAT |

Record so noted. by the way, anybody else here have a tophat? I have one, don't ask how I got it, but it can fold completely flat. |
I have two, neither of which fold flat, one of which has had a storied life that includes being vomited in and used as an ice bucket, and one of which is nearly large enough to fit a
Wombat. |
phew, thanks tophat for helping the war on terror, bystopping the threadjacker known as sticky from crashing this thread into some building or maybe a
wombat. |
