"Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin Killed Today
Will-U:
--- Quote from: ednbarby on September 04, 2006, 08:37:45 am ---I agree. I'm just gobsmacked about this. Will is a major "Wiggles" fan, and "Wiggly Safari" with Steve Irwin is his favorite of many, many of their videos. Like Chris, I didn't fully appreciate him until I watched this one for the first time with Will..............

Sheyne, U have our appreciation for all of the 411 and the great photo. Steve Irwin ("S.I.") is very popular in America! It wasn't mentioned here but his lovely wife Terri is American. BTW, we never considered S.I. "over-the-top"! A lot of personality and enthusiasm is most desireable in real life, especially in the entertainment field. Steve's exuberance added greatly to his uniqueness, appeal and success.
Oh, Sheyne, thanx also 4 your wonderful "exuberant" e-mails yda & tdy. Cud U bring a postcard of S.I. from Australia when we C U in NYC in 19 days? :)
Luv 'n' life,
Will & Dre

P.S. Thanx to the subsequent explanatory 411
from both Barb 'n' Sheyne. U galz never told
me U each have a son "Will" w/ my namesake.
That's swell!! My grandfather Will lived to 96!
Cheerio,
Will ;D

Will is my four-year-old son. Sorry to talk about him so familiarly there, like every single person reading this is behooved to already know who he is. ;)
Lumière:
F*cking horrible news! :(
I watched his shows quite a few times on telly.
He was fearless, I used to get nervous just watching him do some of the things he did.
So sad.

Just so you know, Will, Barb has a little boy called Will. And so do I! I think my Will is a little bit older than her Will - my Will is nearly 7. And yes, still a big Wiggles fan. Will, go and Google "The Wiggles". They are a group of children's entertainers from Australia. And they are waaay cool.

I surely will, Will. I have a feeling there is going to be no shortage of Steve memorabilia available here. :'( He was killed only yesterday morning and yet, they had a 2 hour tribute on tv last night, with another to come tonight and then the "big" Steve memorial on Wednesday night.
There is such a sense of loss here in Australia. God knows I had a big cry last night. We, as a public, were only just beginning to fall in love with him the way you guys in the US did. Me? I just remember that lively, fluffy-haired, energetic fellow who said "beauty" and "crikey" a lot from the zoo when Will was just a toddler. He'd talk to anyone about anything... as long as it was crocs, snakes, animals or conservation! :-\
j.U.d.E.:
I read this about Steve Irwin this morning. I have "Animal Planet" for a few months now and I enjoy the channel very much. But I am sorry to say, that each time he was on, I zapped. I found him rather irritating, but without knowing him really. So this morning when I read the news, I thought, I know this guy, I know him! Then I remembered "Animal Planet". I'm sorry I didn't take more time to find out about his documentaries..
