Thank you, flist.

[valis2]

A huge thank you to all of you for making me feel so much better. It was so nice that you took time out of your busy lives to send a hug or happy thought my way. You are such a wonderful flist! I really, really, really appreciate it.

*hugs*

And now for a wombat song. Stick with it, it gets funnier in the end. I hope.


Escape (The Wombat Colada Song) (with tremendous apologies to Rupert Holmes)

I was tired of my wombat, we'd been together too long.
Like a much-played tile, from that game mah-jongg.
So while he lay there sleeping, I read the paper in bed.
And in the personals column, there was this letter I read:

"If you like wombat Coladas, and throwing cod off a train.
If you're not into possums, if you've watched State and Main.
If you like shucking corn at midnight, while watching Star Trek on tape.
I'm the wombat you've looked for, write to me, and escape."

I didn't think about my wombat, I know that sounds kind of mean.
But me and my old wombat, had fallen into the same old dull routine.
So I wrote to the paper, took out a personal ad.
And though I'm nobody's poet, I thought it wasn't half-bad.

"Yes, I like wombat Coladas, and tossing fish into Spain.
I'm not much into other rodents, of that I feel no shame.
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon, and share a seafood crêpe.
At a bar called the Raw Prawn, where we'll plan our escape."

So I waited with high hopes, then he waddled into the place.
I knew his snout in an instant, I knew that slow wombat pace.
It was my own lovely wombat, and he said, "Oh, it's you."
And we laughed for a moment, and I said, "I never knew"..

"That you liked wombat Coladas, and pushing salmon off a plane.
And frumptious crumpets at dawn, and watching that little boy in Shane.
If you like drawing squids on straw wrappers, and debating good or evil Snape.
You're the wombat that I've looked for, come with me, and escape."

"If you like wombat Coladas, and launching flounders in the lane.
If you're not into Dooku, if you love Citizen Kane.
If you like making doilies for Vader, to attach to his cape.
You're the love that I've looked for, come with me, and escape."

I see the meds have kicked in...

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Oooh...the pretty colors.

[cactus-wren.livejournal.com]

debating good or evil Snape.

I knew you'd get Snape in there somewhere! Glad to see you've perked up.

[b2wm.livejournal.com]

Doilies for Vader has to be the most fun part of the whole song. :) Glad to hear things are improving for you.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Snape always...er...forces his way in, doesn't he? *laughs*

[valis2.livejournal.com]

That was my favorite line too!

I'll bet Yoda made them.

[dark-cygnet.livejournal.com]

O_o flashback or you still using? Kids, don't try this at home.

*g* oh hey, when you transcribed Mortifyd's phone post, you did get the name right. It is E1 (nox) so good job!

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank goodness I got the name right. I don't have the best of hearing, and it was a little difficult, but it seemed that was what he was saying.

;) No drugs were involved in the making of this wombat fiesta...

Holy Freakin Weezles--that was....

[bookwench2096.livejournal.com]

Lovely....?

Yah. Lovely.

And the best part is, you're getting me in a filky kinda mood.

So if something similarly mad comes up on my lj, I'm going to blame it all on YOU.

Oh no you don't! I refuse to take any responsibility!

*hugs* :P

Hmmm... I figured I was the only one in these parts old enough to remember this song. My favorite line was always "... if you have half a brain". We ask so little of our wombats men. Frumptious crumpets at dawn, hmmmm... tasty!

[privatemaladict.livejournal.com]

Actually, I think it's rather sweet :)

[iibnf.livejournal.com]

I'd pay good money to hear someone sing that.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

I used to love that song. I got a little sick of it, but every so often it's fun to listen to.

*shares a frumptious crumpet with you*

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Aw, yay! Go wombats!

And I'm sure you noticed that Snape got shoehorned in ;)

[valis2.livejournal.com]

I called someone last night and sang it to them.

They weren't impressed.

[aramintasnape.livejournal.com]

LOL! I'm glad you are feeling happier :)

[florence-craye.livejournal.com]

I also think it's rather sweet. Nice work! :D

That whole "doilies for Vader" line has me thinking back to Dragoncon 2001. My sister had tiny rubber duckie stickers that she kept sneaking onto people's costumes--mostly stormtroopers. The one didn't stick to the Klingon (leather armor). She also got one Imperial Guard (the red uniform) and Darth Vader. Then, a stormtrooper came up to her and she thought she was toast. It turns out that he just wanted a sticker. Hah!

Wombat colada? Mango colada? My brain hurts.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Yes, you can measure it in wombats!

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Aw, thanks! :) I love your icon, too.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

Mmm...mango colada! ;)

*Snape raises an eyebrow*

'I don't remember giving you a babbling beverage, valis2".

;-)

hahaha!!

Nope...it was an Idiot Elixir.

Idiot Elixir.

A wombat from over the ocean
sat and thought: 'Life is a potion.
So fluid and fine
like sparkling wine.
To Snape!' toasted he his devotion.

*applauds* Lovely, just lovely!
