One more in the crew

Welcome Redwombat. Never seen a Redwombat, seen a lot of road kill with a flouro green x painted on them but no Red.

G'day Redwombat and welcome , I hope you know being called a Wombat in OZ is not a term of endearment ,actually Wombats are notorious for their eating and leaving trait ,they, eat roots, shoots and leaves totally vegetarian

Arghh! Should have known. I played (American) football many years and some sportswriter said I was tearing up the field like a wombat. I had red hair and the term Red Wombat stuck from then on. If I ever make it to OZ I'll keep it to myself. No one here in the colonies knows what a wombat is.

Enough about me, happy to join this crowd!
 
"tearing up the field like a wombat" .. oxymoron if ever I've heard one....

He was a sportswriter. Drama sells more papers than facts.
 
Red, we are nieghbors brother. I am just down 95 from ya.

@bruce aussie, never seen one huh? Here you go:


And for the rest of you, please DO NOT look up what a red wombat is in the urban dictionary... Trust me, it aint pretty (except for maybe Jim)... just sayin'

And of course it's easier making statements of that calibre if no-one realises that a wombat doesn't "tear anywhere"

I've seen them tear up a few cars that hit them on the road

and Welcome
 

Obviously, gonna have to change my moniker. It's been with me for 44 years and it took Aussies and an urban dictionary to lead to the truth. Now if I can just find that sportswriter.....

Us Aussies would never 'expect' anyone to change their moniker ... just because we know it refers to a fat ugly creature that eats roots and leaves .. and becomes a major hazard for bike riders when it lays dead on the apex of corners in Tasmania .. it's an awesome name mate
