I've been carefully neutral (as opposed to carelessly neutral?) on this
wombat issue.  But watching the interplay -- nay, the battle -- between
Laura and Tim has pierced me to the heart.  I find I must take a stand.
I have to decide.  To wombat or not to wombat, that is the issue.  And
not only that, but it's time I put forth some effort for the side to
which I now pledge my allegiance...

WOMBAT OMNIA VINCET (or somethin' like that) !!!!!

I've chosen the mark of the wombat (and will wear it proudly, in secret)
after careful consideration of the issues.  What finally swung me over to
the wombat camp was the well-thought-out, logical, tremendously useless
(but cute) set of arguments delivered by Laura.  Tim's arguments had merit,
I will admit (reluctantly, at gunpoint, under great duress), but not enough.
I refuse to believe that wombats are satanists.  Commies, maybe.  But "the
burden of proof rests with you" (sound familiar, Tim?).

So where do we go from here?  Let's get some wombats on Today, Good Morning
America, and the CBS Morning News.  Let's blitz the media!   Let's get 'em
on Donahue, Hour Magazine, and PM Magazine.  Heck, why stop there?  How
about a couple as guest stars on "The Love Boat"?  Think of the possibilities
inherent in the combination of two wombats, a Gopher, and all those asses!
And what about a guest shot on "The A-Team?"  And maybe a new series --
"Wombatman!"  And...

wondering what got me started,
