The end of an era, one full of sexy sexy chest hair

We were just tipped off on this one by Susie...

No, ladies, I'm not talking about Tom Selleck. I'm talking about this mommy's favorite Wiggle, Greg. The group formally announced today that Greg is retiring from the Wiggles and will be replaced by his understudy, Professor Singalottasonga. Apparently Greg suffers from orthostatic intolerance, where one's body does not react kindly to being in an upright position. Poor guy -- you can imagine years and years spent in a doctor's office trying to convince somebody that he wasn't making his symptoms up. And clearly, a full-time job as the Richard Simmons of the toddler set would not be a good thing for someone with such a condition.

We'll miss you, Greg. I'm so glad we got to see the original Wiggles line-up in concert this summer, with that dashing yellow-shirted dude singing his heart out to my fellas. I especially will keep his silver-throated voice and his Elvis shirts alive in my mommy daydreams.
