I've been 'Wombat', 'The Wombat' or 'The Kombat Wombat' forever.
As pointed out in a previous post, a Wombat is a chunky (not chubby Jafo!) burrowing Australia marsupial, primarily nocturnal.
And a tough little tacker at that, most road deaths in rural Australia are the result of a car hitting a Wombat and being launched into the surrounding bush, usually killing all occupants.
The Wombat is built in such a way that any vehicle striking a highway strolling Wombat is launched off a small but steep ramp, rather like Evil Knevil was won't to do.
Being a tough little 'Bat, the effect is too annoy him to the extent that Semi Trailer rigs find themselves deep in used food if and when one attempts to biff the Wombat.
The resulting light and sound show can be rather spectacular and a brief diversion for an artistic Wombat.
A Wombat is well known for one character flaw(or is that culinary flaw?).
The male of the species eats, roots, shoots and leaves ......
And that,dear readers, is how this particular grunt became known as 'The Wombat'.
