Fair Play Fraz
Fair play is what you can do to others before they can do it to you.
Debbie Adams, our friend and artist, painted a couple of different animal silhouettes for her Peace, Quiet and Gentleness post. Of course, we liked the wombat one best. And that’s a real Common Wombat (also known as a Bare-nosed Wombat), not a Wombie this time.
That’s fair
I thought so!
In fact you could have cut it a little bigger 🙂
I will next time!
She did a great job. It doesn’t even look like a painting to me, it looks like a photograph. I like it. 🙂
Deb does a lot of very nice work which you can see on her art blog http://adamsart.wordpress.com/
I love these silhouettes. The amber glow is one of my favorites.
They were all very warm. And that little wombat in this one doesn’t hurt.
Thank you, Red!
Thank you, Peter!
🙂
Thank you, Rosy!
Yes, brilliant painting Deb ….. as ALWAYS
Thanks Loon!
Hahaha… I’ve never been very good with math, but it all seems to ‘add-up’ to me, Fraz!
🙂
A big piece of cake = happy me!
Mmmm let’s have two big pieces
of cake Fraz I am hungry tonight 🙂
I’m hungry too. Maybe we should just have two big cakes instead!
It’s not your fault everyone volunteered for such small pieces.
Yeah it’s not!
I volunteered for a
bigger piece than yours
Fraz, but there wasn’t
enough left by that time 🙁
I was told that a hungry
looking Wombie had eaten
the last piece, and there
was at least half a cake left
as I understood it soooooo
it must have been a very
LARGE slice that you had 🙂
It might have been. But you weren’t around. And I can’t resist chocolate cake!
Yes I noticed that straight away 🙂
It kinda draws me like a magnet!
I like that idea, drawing you as a magnet might be fun 🙂 There is a few wine gums in it for you if you stand still long enough 🙂
I dunno. Cake or wine gums make it too hard to decide!
Wow…you tricky little wombie! That’s a real quality needed as President 😉
I know I’d make a good president!
I second that, Fraz 😉
Do you want to Indonesian president? the election is next year 😉
Sure! I really liked Indonesia when I was there so I could make a good president! Free chocolate and wine gums for everyone!
I think that sounds brilliant 🙂
Me too! And I’ll give free greens to all the turtles there too! And anyone else that wants them!
That sounds like a marvelous idea!! I will definitely vote for you, Fraz!!
Can you add little fishes too 😉
Looks like it is time to get back on the campaign trail, Fraz.
I guess I better get going on that before it’s too late!
If I did that I’d lose the fish vote! How about those little goldfish crackers instead?
Don’t tell the fishes that you’ll feed them to me, it’ll be our little secret 😉 just like all politicians, they have secrets we never know.
I know they do! They’re bad. But I want to be a good president! Even for the fishes!
I can relate to Fraz. Yes I can. Bwahahahahahahaha.
Have a terrific day. 🙂
Maybe we’re related!
That sounds fair to me, Fraz! In fact, I think you ought to have another just like it when your done.
I think so too! I’m a growing Wombie!
That right. I think Twink ought to make a cake just for you!
That would be good! I could use some more cake about now!
Maybe You, Me and Deb could share a big cake, I know that I have three spoons in case we decide to have ice cream with it 🙂
And milkshakes and fudge too! I hope it’s a big cake!
It’s huge! Big enough for all of us. And…I brought ice cream!
Yay! I’ll park my milkshake shack out the back! It’s cake party time!
I’ll restock your shack with fresh fruit, ice creams and toppings! And straws, we got to have straws!
That’s what we need! Banana splits!
To quote Calvin,”why can’t things be not fair in my favor”?
Calvin sounds like a genius!
Thank you for posting my silhouette of the wombat, Peter.
I didn’t know that is was a bare nose wombat. 🙂
You’re welcome, Deb.
They used to be known as Common Wombats, but that was recently changed to Bare Nosed Wombat. They probably aren’t all that common any more, unfortunately.
That’s sad. 🙁
Northern Hairy Nosed Wombats are much worse off, with only about 150 left in the world.
I didn’t know that Peter, it is so unfair that there are only 150 left of that species, but then it is the same with lots of animals and birds, it’s a disgrace that these and other animals and birds are dwindling 🙁
Yes, it really is. There is only one natural colony left of the Northern Hairy Nosed Wombats, although the Wombat Foundation (http://www.wombatfoundation.com.au/ ) has established another secondary colony. According to them, there are about 200 HNWs now, which is an improvement.
How long is a wombat pregnant and how many babies do then normally have it one pregnancy?
A single joey (baby) is the norm, though wombats will rarely have twins. Wombats are marsupials, which are quite different from placenta mammals. A wombat will give birth after only about 3 weeks, but then the joey, which is the size of a jelly bean, must live in the mother’s pouch for about 8 more months. After that, the baby can leave the pouch for short periods, and will stay out of the pouch after about a year. After about 2 years, the young wombat will leave the mother.
if I remember rightly I think that Polar Bears are really small too when they are first born, which is unbelievable considering what they look like fully grown 🙂
Apparently they are small for their eventual size, about the size of a rat. In marsupials, the baby only spends a short period in the womb, and the rest of the development takes place in the pouch.
I adore polar bears. Their babies are tiny.
I wouldn’t want to be close to a full grown polar bear, though.
The mommas are meaner (like every other species). The males are like big lazy dogs.
I think I’ll just stay away from all of them. I’ve seen the way they hunt seals!
This is good news Peter and I hope that they thrive as the years go by, they certainly deserve it, as do all of our wildlife 🙂
I certainly hope so, too. We’ve done a pretty poor job of taking care of nature and our wildlife in general, though.
I don’t like to pattern my habits too closely to those of Fraz but admittedly I do the same thing with LEMON BARS!! W.C.C.
I thought everyone wanted to be like me!
Lemon bars sound yummy!
part of me says to scold you, Fraz, but the other part of me says, wow that’s a huge delicious looking piece of chocolate cake. Wish I had me some…
That may be the best darned drawn cake I ever saw!!! mmmmmm…
🙂
I think you should have a piece of cake too! It’s really really good!
That will be three LARGE slices
of cake then 🙂 Mmmmmmmmmm
We need another cake!
Another five cakes sounds better 🙂
We need a cake making machine like Twink’s pancake machine!
We had a way around that problem. One kid got to be the slicer, and the other chose the piece. One never saw such perfectly sliced pieces in one’s life.

That’s no fair! Maybe I could bribe the slicer.
That’s a great idea Joyce 🙂
I wouldn’t like it!
I only believe in fair play when someone else is in control of cutting the cake
I believe in fair play when I get the biggest slice!
I know many a Wombat like that.
We like cake! A lot!
I would have given you
an even bigger slice Fraz 🙂
I know I can count on you Andro!
This is one of my favourite paintings of Deb’s but then all her paintings are brilliantly done so we are spoiled with her great talent 🙂
I like this cartoon Peter and being that it is a Cake one I am even more in favour of it, I love cake 🙂
Thanks, Andro. It’s hard not to love cake. Especially if you’re part Wombie.
Yes and the more I call into Wombania the more cake, ice cream, chocolate, marshmallows and wine gums I want 🙂 Yes funny that 🙂
I should put up a disclaimer that I’m not responsible for any visitor’s weight gain.
It’s a wonderful painting this one Deb 🙂 🙂 xxxx
That Fraz takes (twice) the cake!
Cake is hard to resist!
All is fair in Cake and War.
It sure is!
It’s always fair a long as no one else notices you cheat!. 😉
The problem is people around here have big eyes!
Fraz, you should cut everybody a big piece because next time it may not be you who cuts the cake. Golden rule buddy 🙂
But if everyone gets a big piece that means I get a smaller piece!
You are one smart cookie Frazzie. 😉
It’s a piece of cake!
Looks like a good portion for the server. I always try to get a big piece too 😉
The bigger the better!
I agree. Maybe a big scoop of chocolate fudge ice cream on top!
That sounds yummy! And a triple fudge chocolate milkshake, too!
Oh ow I am soooo hungry!!
I saved you a big shake and piece of cake! You’ve gotta sneak over here quick!
Deb, I love your wombat in the moonlight!
I guess you have to have some rules to base fair play on!
I base my rules on I get the cake!
Magnanimosity seems a good way to go. Especially if it means more chocolate cake
Anything that means more cake is good! But I kinda think than magnanomy thingy means less cake!
Deb did an awesome job on the wombat silhouette .
Deb certainly did!
Talk about ‘taking the cake.’
I always take the cake when I can!
if someone else gives you a slice, they usually make it a big one, So, you’re just doing what they would have done Fraz. (Or maybe what I would’ve done 🙂 ) and Debs Wombat is fantastic. She’s a brilliant artist. Is the cake double chocolate, with a triple Chocolate topping? Sorry, I’m fantasizing about cake now. Sigh!! xPenx
That’s right! Everyone likes to give me a big slice of cake!
Yep, it’s triple chocolate devils food cake with chocolate chips and chocolate swirls and chocolate fudge icing! You should come over and have some!
That a boy Fraz. Do waht makes you happy.
Eating a big slice of cake makes me happy!
Fraz excellent work and hey everyone else please, that cake was baked to be enjoyed and Fraz did just that!!
That’s right! I enjoyed the cake more than anyone! I think it probably had my name on it somewhere.
Clever, Fraz!
I can be clever when it means more cake!
