> That was four months ago

WC (a mean abbr. btw) is not the first to get confused by reincarnated threads. It was the cosy doctor who is the culprit this time WordCrazy. Maybe we should introduce a thread rebirth alert!

BTW, The Wombles are dope
"Making good use of the things that we find,
The things that the everyday folks leave behind"...da,da,da..strolling off

I'll never forget the mixture of amazement and confusion when, as a teen going through my parents' collection of 60's and 70's LP's, I realized that they listened to some pretty cool music back in the day, but I was absolutely floored by their copy of a Wombles album. I had never even heard of them, and it was somewhat surreal to find them wedged in amongst the likes of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and Morrison Hotel. Never did find a working turntable to listen to it on.

A) BelM has been rebirthed (Feb 5?) along with this thread.

2) Caught in the headlights would imply that the creature so caught could get out of the way were it not for the shock factor of getting caught in the headlights. Waddle and crump don't hack it.

Þ) Ain' got nothin else, so no Þ.

You know, after the fact, I realized I'd read the thread name before. Must have been going during one of my periods of Board inactivity (equivalent to a maximum in school activity!).

For an amusing story about taking care of an orphaned wombat click on URL below. I goofed and you will be taken to page 2 of the story, but should be able to get back to beginning.
