  Cooking tips
There are at least three reasons why the internet is the greatest thing ever.

I have a handy tip for you all and I share simply because I'm a giver; I want to spread my hard-won wisdom across the world:

If you ever come across any actual Swedes, don't say to them “oh, hey! I can speak Swedish” and then start talking like the Swedish Chef: “yang borshpear de yoom bedishkidoo yaybo de hrday der hmm bork bork bork!” They don't take kindly to it.

In fact, I've just inspired myself to purchase the entire first series of the Muppet Show on DVD. You may well argue that I clearly have too much money but you can get stuffed. The Muppet Show is awesome.
 
I've been watching these Muppet Shows incessantly over the last week or two. Frank Oz is a freakin' master.

I need to go to a trivia night somewhere because the question "what were the names of the two old guys in the box in the Muppet Show?" always comes up and now I know the answer.
 
ROFL!! Can you add a voice clip on your blog as the Swedish Chef??

Does commenting on your own blog count as a reason to revoke your blog rights?
 
Well, maybe commenting on your own blog is bad form but once I get started on the Muppet Show I just have to keep sharing.

For example: did you know, Kales, that there is no Beaker in this first series that I've been watching? No Beaker! I was crestfallen.

I am afraid there will be no online examples of me doing the Swedish Chef. I have learned my lesson about doing that in public and I learned it the hard way. However, when I am elected Prime Minister I promise I will do one of my press conferences entirely as the Swedish Chef. Keep your eyes peeled because it'll be just for you.
