This is folly.  All of you listen to yourselves.  Surely, you can see the
error in your ways; and you too, Laura.  Wearing the mark of the wombat?
Give me a break.  Count the number of letters: 6.  You're going to wear
that?  That's one third of *the* mark.  Can you justify calling a wombat
a land or sea creature?  If they're so innocent and lovable, how the hell
do they get logins?  How to they post?  How do they type?  With their teeth?
Do you expect us to believe they have teeth?  That's a beaver, damn it, not
a wombat.  And I surely wouldn't eat a wombat, especially after hearing
tales of burrowing (Laura says borrowing) but you can't ignore the old
adage:  "Neither a burrower nor a lander be."  And how do they land?  On
all fours, like cats and I hate cats.  I have special attachments for my
garbage disposal and Osterizer to keep the cat hair from clogging.  Hey,
What's a Wombat's hair like?  Should I get another attachment or two?
