And who does this remind me of, Bob? :-)
Desi Arnaz’s, from I Love Lucy, heavy Cuban accent often made retakes necessary. His enunciation of "recognized talent" came out as "recognize Stalin," He said "ever thin" for "everything" and "mushing peectures" for "motion pictures," while "won’t" was "wunt" and "Fred Mertz" was "Frat Mers."

I remember 'everythin'.
"Bicks Boppa Rue" (Vick Vapor Rub) comes to mind... Right Bob?!?
XOXOXOXOXOXO
Exactly! xoxoxoxox
I was thinking the same thing as I read Joy's post, David!
I am Lucy.
One of my favorite Carlos-isms is when he talks about a female co-worker causing trouble; he says "She's making a stormm in a glass of water."
As soon as I saw this, I thought about you and Carlos, Bob, and knew I had to post it. I remember your saying that you are Lucy, and of course "Bicks Boppa Rue" came to mind right away! Now I can add this latest saying. Keep 'em coming!
Rhea, it cracked me up when Lucy would say things back to him in his accent like that.
One of my other carlos-isms is opera.....only he pronounces it Oprah.
So, he'll be listening to something and say "This is my favorite Oprah."
"Oprah?" I say, "I didn't know you like Oprah."
"No, Oprah, like at the Met."
"Oprah plays for the Mets."
And it can go on for hours!
That is too funny! You two are like Abbott and Costello!
