Now you've gone and done it!

I LOVE the Muppets and I LOVE the Swedish Chef. I very much enjoyed the website to which we were just referred. And I MISS the little furry creatures on televison.

No, I'm sure that real live Dutch people don't speak English in a stereotypic accent any more than any real live human from Sweden speaks English in an accent like that made famous by the Swedish Chef.

From time to time, I actually don a white chef's jacket and toque* and, on those occasion, persons who do not hold me in sufficient reverence have been heard to suggest that I LOOK a bit like the Swedish chef. Given my magiric aspirations, I take that as a compliment.

*The toque was earned, not honorary, as I was named a Chef of the West by Sunset Magazine in 1987.
