I have a new friend - Skippy the Bush Kangaroo. Everybody say "Hi Skippy!"

*Hi Skippy!* Okay, so by everybody I mean me... *ahem*

Skippy is smart and has much relevant political linkage, and is married and a writer in Los Angeles, but tells me that he has no hair. Poor bald kangaroo... awww. What sort of marsupial is a bush kangaroo, anyway? Could the "bush" portion of his moniker be compensation for the lack of follicular foliage? Skippy, come back good buddy? Did you shave it or was it plucked out by dingoes? Did dingoes eat your hair? Did ya give 'em a ginormous kanga furball to yak back up in the still of the evening? It's okay, you can tell me. I won't laugh, I promise.
