Seven Common Misconceptions About the Wombat File
- The Wombat File is an Unimportant, Minor-League Weblog or Web Journal, Run by a Guy from Brooklyn
FALSE:: I'm not really from Brooklyn. Lived a bunch of places. Sort of a military brat, really.
- The Name Has Something to do with Australia
FALSE:: Although Contributing Editor Arthur A. Stukas resides in Melbourne, that's just a coincidence. Happily, though, we snare the occasional reader from Down Under with our deceptive packaging. The name itself refers either to Wizards of Occidental Masonry Bombastically Armored in Truth, or to the folder of bad fiction I used to keep on my old PowerBook. I forget which.
- The Wombat File is a Work-in-Progress
FALSE:: I can't possibly justify anything I do here by calling it "work." This is a "slacking-off-in-progress".
- The Wombat File Provides Original Cultural Analysis and Commentary You Can't Find Anywhere Else
FALSE:: Mostly, I'm recycling old William Safire columns from the early eighties here.
- Mysterious Contributor Mike Green Has Split from the Gotham Office Over the Foreign Rights to all Mike Ditka Anecdotes
FALSE:: Don't believe what those bastards at the New York Post say. Mike Green is a valued member of this organization. He isn't publishing much on the Wombat File these days because of his consuming meth habit. We look forward to his eventual return from the gutter.
- Bill Tipper is a Writer and Editor Who is Available for Freelance or Full-Time Employment
FAL -- oh, whoops, wait a sec...TRUE:: Absolutely. Please email me if you're interested in hiring me.
- The Wombat File Loves You
WELL, SORT OF:: The Wombat File has issues with sharing its feelings. The Wombat File needs some space in order to work out precisely the terms in which it understands this relationship. Don't pressure the Wombat File, because it just can't handle that right now. But the Wombat File really, really values this relationship and is really hoping that we can spend more time together as friends.
