John, got your message in Natter, but I didn't reply there because I thought you'd skip past it! (Being on a diet and all). Sorry I can't make it to Sydney this weekend...as you can see, I'm having a party. I may be coming up over New Year's though...will you and Thuy be around then?

Holli, I saw a book titled The Eskimo Twins the other day and thought of you.
UnAmericans, do I need to own a tape of The Wombles. It is merely twee, or bizarrely so? It's cheap only $5.95.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
$5.95, own. The Wombles rock.

Buy it. The Wombles are stunning - right up your alley.

ita and Jim are right. I do not own anymore, and it makes me sad.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I vote for ownership. My younger brother plots to take over the world with a womble army, so they have to have something going for them.

We seemed to have reached an agreement. Hah! You dare not refrain from buying now!

Put it this way, Hec--The Wombles are the marijuana of children's TV, just like Teletubbies are the ecstasy (and The Magic Roundabout was the LSD).

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
Oh! Are they the four guys is brightly colored long-sleeved shirts who dress up like pirates and dance and sing? Beacuse I babysit for a kid who LOVES them.

I think you may be thinking of Australia's own Wiggles, Holli. The Wombles was a British children's series from the 70's, about a bunch of, um, Wombles (big furry things), who lived on Wimbledon Common, and, um, made good use of the things that they found, and...it's kind of hard to explain.
