Oh, wofa, I am rolling! That is the funniest thing I've read in ages! I love the "accent", though my only experience widit is de Cajun chef awn TV. And--the Raisin Cane Lounge: wonderful! (apostrophe left off on purpose; and darn you Keiva, that first came out apostrophy...). (For the non-native English speakers, raisin(g) cain is an expression that means boisterous noise or activity.)
