The Wiggles are Dead to Me

http://www.thewiggles.com.au/au/mediacentre/news/31

Greg is quitting the Wiggles due to orthostatic intolerance--
The symptoms for this condition may include the following:• Excessive Fatigue• Exercise Intolerance• Nausea• Tachycardia• Palpitations• Tremulousness• Weakness - most noticeable in the legs• Chest Discomfort• Shortness of Breath• Migraines and Other Headaches• Gastrointestinal Problems.

The Wiggles have been an everyday part of our lives over the past three years. Juliette fell quickly in love and Evie has followed suit. Indeed, much to Juliette's dismay, Evie ALWAYS chooses to listen to the Wiggles in the car when it is her turn. Not Rocknocerous (although she loves them) Not spanish music, not parumpum pum pum. Only the Wiggles. Ever.

Bruce has long hypothesized that Greg was the only one with talent although I harbor a fondness for each contribution that Murray Anthony and Jeff make. Greg was indeed the front man, with boyish charm and that sunny yellow shirt.

Although, when forced to vote - I voted Greg most likely to tarnish the Wiggle star by scandle. Perhaps it was the boyish Bob Crane-like looks...

Back to the diagnosis, I have at least five of those symptoms. I wonder if I'll be retiring soon.
