Gobberwart (n): A pumpkin-wearin', smooth-talkin', damned attractive, Aussie son of a bitch. Also the creator of this game.

Origin of the Name

So where did the name 'Gobberwart' come from?

Gobb sez:

"You know, less people ask me this question than I would ever have expected, but given some of the more ridiculous nicknames I've encountered out there (and you know who you are) I'm probably not surprised."

"The word 'Gobberwart' is actually from the Hitch Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy, and is used by Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz in a 'poem' which he reads to Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect prior to having them ejected from his ship. Vogon poetry, of course, being the third worst in the universe.[1]"

Excerpt:

Oh freddled gruntbuggly,
Thy micturations are to me
As plurdled gabbleblotchits
On a lurgid bee.
Groop, I implore thee, my foonting turlingdromes
And hooptiously drangle me
With crinkly bindlewurdles,
Or I will rend thee in the gobberwarts with my blurglecruncheon,
See if I don't!

"I hope this is now clear, and that it's fairly obvious that a 'gobberwart' is something a person may be 'rent' in. With a 'blurglecruncheon'."
