Sammy & The Wiggles

Well, we should have known something like this would happen. When we were children we had Mr. Rogers and Captain Kangaroo. Well, now it's the "Wiggles." The Wiggles are four grown men -- Anthony (Blue), Greg (Yellow), Murray (Red), and Jeff (Purple)-- who do skits, sing, and dance on a tv show for children.


There's also Captain Feathersword who is a friendly pirate who has a feather for a sword, which he uses to tickle everyone. A running joke is when he says, "Well blow me down" with which those around him oblige by blowing him down.

Uh huh. Four grown men and a buccanneer who tickles everyone with a feather for a sword. And they're from Australia. Uh huh.

Oh, and we now feel great empathy for other parents who can't get the song, "Fruit Salad...yummy yummy" out of their minds!

And now some pics of Sammy watching the Wiggles...

"Dad you're blocking the tv!"

"I love the Wiggles"

"Don't bother me...the Wiggles are on"

Paul's favorite character is Captain Feathersword...
...the pirate who lives with the kind of reckless abandon...
...that Paul only wishes he could.
