I found a groovy website that converts text a good number of dialects.
http://www.rinkworks.com/dialect/ I pasted Marin's latest post re. new
vehicles in and selected "swedish chef."
For anyone who has no clue who he is, the Swedish Chef is a Sesame Street
(old US children's TV show) character and this is how he talks.
Here's the masterpiece:
