Iko Iko, Cher

[infrogmation]

While eating my monday red beans & rice I turned on the tv and caught an episode of "Las Vegas". One of the two intertwined plots was set in New Orleans-- the alternative reality New Orleans which exists somewhere in Hollywood, where the New Orleanians speak with Cajun accents.... There were a couple of short exterior shots that clearly were shot here, and other of some other city on a river that clearly wasn't.

If someone who didn't know much about New Orleans would watch the show, at the end of it they'd know even less.

Well anyway... Happy Mardi Gras from the Real New Orleans.

Hollywood just doesn't get it right...they wouldn't know a New Orleans accent if it jumped up and bit 'em.

Strangely enough, even though I grew up here, I don't have the accent...I worked consciously to lose it, hence sounding like the "generic news anchor".

Nice pic, your Frogness...but then, you're cute anyway. :)
