1. I don't think I know them, but

Anybody named Captain Feathersword.....

[Ellen Forradalom]

19. Who likes to dance in his pirate pants

who tickles everyone with his sword
and has Magic Buttons on his jacket....
I see what you're saying..

[Brotherjohn]

2. It'd be the one you least suspect. The Captain.

I personally think all 4 Wiggles, in their private lives, are the most macho (& hetero), pub-brawling, hard-drinking four guys you ever wanted to see. They just have a soft side for kids, and were always frustrated musicians.

3. What the fuck are the wiggles?

[Breezy du Nord]

9. kids show nt

[JohnKleeb]

12. oy I see

[Ellen Forradalom]

11. Lucky you

One of the advantages of being too old for kids' shows and too young for kids of your own.

The Wiggles are kids' entertainers from Australia. Their TV show has been on Aussie TV for a while now but they got huge everywhere in the last year or two. They wear different colored long-sleeved t-shirts which they call 'jumpers' and have a peculiar cast of characters. The set design is garish and their production values need tightening up, but they do have some decent musical guests--Slim Dusty (RIP), Tim Finn, Christine Anu, etc.

[JohnKleeb]

14. Yep its great

but I can have kids :evilgrin: physically but not mentally or emotionally and I need to find that lucky girl whoever she may be. Aussies eh. Sounds very teletubbies like to me, strange and bizzare.

[Maine-i-acs]

20. Skivvies! they call the shirts Skivvies.

My 3 kids eat up the Wiggles with a spoon. Beats the hell out of Barney or Rugrats.

They do a lot of cool socially aware things, like helping handicapped kids and honoring Make a Wish kids with front row seats.

A great bunch of guys, all role models. And all married save Jeff who's in a LTR.

[Ellen Forradalom]

22. Be that as it may

and we like 'em in our house too, but they make my gaydar go Woop Woop Woop.

[LynneSin]

4. I watched that show once - where is your "All of the Above"

Geez, that show was bizarre, but the kids loved it. I think they all play for the other team. But since kids love the show and will shut up and stop pestering you - God Bless em all!

[Ellen Forradalom]

7. Amen to that sister

God bless 'em indeed

[Brotherjohn]

10. Oh, come on. Take them out of their primary color shirts...

... and wipe those kid-friendly smiles off their faces, and you wouldn't want to bump into any of them in a dark pub! Look at Anthony and Murray, especially. Brutes! (okay, maybe not Jeff, though). Not that you can't be gay and tough, but these guys just reek of macho, hetero, pub brawlers tossing back pints and into soccer hooliganism.

Seriously, though, I hear three of the four were pre-school teachers before becoming "The Wiggles".

[Ellen Forradalom]

13. Yes, they met while getting their degrees in early childhood ed n/t

[Ellen Forradalom]

5. The whole show

but especially Greg and Captain Feathersword.

[Bertha Venation]

6. what the bloody hell is a wiggly?

Although the guy in yellow rather looks like my old choral director... with hair...

[Breezy du Nord]

8. Don't know, but I dislike them deeply

I watched it once while i was babysitting. Soooooooo annoying.

Sesame Street was never that shrill, was it?

[Ellen Forradalom]

16. Yeah, pretty hard on the nerves

but at least it isn't Barney.

[JohnKleeb]

17. dont remind me

:puke: That dino gave me nightmares when I was little, now I am afraid of dinos ;).

[AWD]

15. My wife has the hots for Greg

We all love the Wiggles at our house (because we have a 5yr old) but my wife especially thinks Greg is a sensitive new-age sex machine. Why is it that she can get away with saying that but when I want to watch Degrassi four times in a row, I get looks?

[Ellen Forradalom]

18. HAHAHAHAHA

Make her swoon! Tell her Greg Page does grown-up music too!

[Maine-i-acs]

21. LMAO! My wife lusts for Greg too.

Most women crush on the Captain or Anthony.

I saw their show in Providence 2 years in a row...

[amandae]

28. Hehe ... I'm an Anthony woman myself!

But some of the other moms I know think Greg is a hottie :-)

lmao

:hi:

[Kamika]

23. Maybe dorothy.

If she was a guy..

[Ellen Forradalom]

25. I think Dorothy's a lesbian, myself.

In the Southern 'maiden-aunt' tradition.

[adamblast]

24. Never seen the show... Don't have any kids, but...

...I wouldn't throw any of 'em out of bed.

Especially Henry the Octopus. He's a keeper.

[Maine-i-acs]

26. I hear Wags is really a bitch though (nt)

[amandae]

27. I like the wiggles!

Most of them are married ... I think Jeff is the only one who isn't. Two of them have children. While I know this isn't proof positive that none of them are gay, I don't believe they are. My kids love them, especially my 17 month old son who loves to dance to their music.

Why is it that when guys are interested in acting silly to educate or entertain children, they're gay?

:shrug:

[trof]

29. Jack LOVES the Wiggles.

My 17 month grandson.
They are like a drug for him.
We brought him a plush-toy Wiggles Hot Potato.
You mash it and it vibrates (wiggles?) and plays the Hot Potato song.
I got it out of the box (quite a struggle) and he carried the potato AND the box (it had a picture of the Wiggles on it) around for the rest of the day. I finally cut the picture of the Wiggles off for him to tote around because he kept tripping over the box.
It's his favorite TV program.
Not sure how I feel about that, but I'm not his mom.

This is hearsay, but I heard the tickets for the Wiggles NYC performances were being scalped at $750.
whew
