Earned more in 2004 than Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe. :rofl:

1. I wish they had been around when my kids were younger.

I had to endure Barney, for chrissakes!

[Richardo]

3. ...and yet you retained your sanity

Somewhat. :hide:

[Bunny]

5. 'Somewhat'. That is the key, my good man.

That is the key.

So, for old times sake:

I love you
You love me
We're a happy fam-a-lee
With a great big hug
And a kiss from me to you
Won't you say you love me too?

:puke:

My kids now sing:

I hate you
You hate me
Let's get together and kill Barney!

:rofl:

2. "Head, shoulders, knees, and toes!" Everybody now.

[Bunny]

6. If you give me that earworm, I will hurt you!

:D

[Taverner]

4. Fruit salad....yummy yummy

7. "I like milk and I like to eat hay. I'm a cow. I'm a cow."

[kmla]

8. Hot potato, hot potato.......

Hot potato, hot potato.......

[Book Lover]

13. Mashed banana, mashed banana

Mashed banana, mashed banana
Mashed banana, mashed banana
Banana, banana, banana, banana.

Help us.

10. "In the Big Red Car we like to ride. Through rainbows and through...

the countryside.

9. Most of that money is from us...

... we've seen them in concert six times. And Murray read my kids' names out on stage. :-)

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

12. no way! Got a picture of me, my daughter, and Murray at a concert.

[wysi]

14. Ok...

... I'm a bit envious of that (picture). Last time out we were three rows back and we put some drawings the girls had done on the stage, and Murray picked them up and read out their names!

We've got tickets for four shows in Brisbane in December... though we have to book flights over from New Zealand yet!

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

15. well, I'm envious of your relative proximity to the boys

We have to wait until they swing through North Carolina, once in a blue moon.

[wysi]

17. To be fair...

... they spend more time in the US these days than Down Under, but there's just too many cities in the US to have to tour! An Australian tour takes just over a week, and they can do New Zealand in three days (during the last two years they've been here twice, and they did a quick sweep of Christchurch, Wellington, and Auckland in three days - though last year we got four shows over two days).

Most (sensible) parents would take their kids to one show - ever. We take them to every show we can possibly get tickets to. I suspect we're more obsessed than our kids. ;-)

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

19. My wife will be glad to hear there are others like us.

[Book Lover]

11. Aw man, they knocked AC/DC down to #4

I want to see them do a tour together :-) Never too early to start rocking!

[Initech]

16. The Wiggles out-sold pretty much everyone at Universal Ampitheater in '05

Unbelievable, isnt it?

[wysi]

18. I think...

... part of the secret is that the music is pretty good and they put on a good show, so there's something there for the parents as well, which makes parents more inclined to spend money on it. That's how we feel anyway...

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

20. plus, Captain Feathersword can act his ass off

21. Post #300 on a Wiggles thread. My life is complete.

Good-bye DU. I have no more to say. Except that

I'd like to have a dance with Wags the Dog
I'd like to have a dance with Wags
He likes to do the tango
And he carries his bone in a big brown bag.
We can dance in the town and country
where the atmosphere is great.
Oh, I'd like to have a dance with Wags the Dog
'cause Wags is my mate.
