Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for September 18, 2013

Wombats are short-legged, quadrupedal marsupials native to Austrailia that are about one meter/yard in length.

They are wonderful animals and superb diggers. Quite friendly and cuddly with people, I’m told.

My middle school mascot? I went to Edgar Allen Poe Intermediate. Our mascot was…yep, the Ravens.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Yes, Chad, a wombat is exactly like a zombie.

Yea

Never a Banana Slug around when ya need one…

The University of Wisconsin-Sheboygan sports teams are, in fact, the Fighting Wombats.

For those who don’t know what a wombat is, I recommend this: http://www.buzzfeed.com/summeranne/the-most-important-wombats-of-all-time

Does Mr Staples use his head to teach rectangles?

“The Zombie Wombats.” Sounds like a good name for a band.

Anybody remember the Steve Miller Band song “Last Wombat In Mecca”? 1969. A real hoot!! Hoot! HOOT!!

One stanza went: “Can you give us a description? said the Air Force on the phone……….can you certify your saneness? said the Air Force on the phone……..No!! but here’s his passport, and his teeth marks on a bone!!”……heh, heh….

Not really Chad.

Better than the Mediocre Marmosets.

I wonder if his school took their summer break in January?

Mine is the Spartans. FOR SPARTA!!!

Thanks so much for the plug, trusty2. Much appreciated. And, yes, everyone is welcome to the weird, wacky world of the wombat over at BUSHY TALES!

I’ve got more to add to the big nate them song: He has an awful fateWhen it comes to height he’s just lateHe really wants a mateBut he can’t seem to get a dateHe’s Big Nate.

This was easy to do because I have a little sister named Kate who likes to make fun of me, so I get her back with rhymes like this. I’ m lucky because my name doesn’t have any rhymes.

My school doesn’t have a mascot

my school mascot is a yellow jacket

Mines a deer

Eagles

My school mascot is the coyote. Lucky me.

I think the football team in “speak” was once called the wombats

Aussie animals for the win

Hush puppies and onion rings

why does mr. staple’s nose look like that
