Mr. Okra's is the latest voice 'In Your Pocket'

There's a new toy at my desk that a certain 20-something in the office wants to play with. Press a button, and a voice familiar to many rings out in an amplified sing-song: "I have blueberries, I have peaches. I have plums. I have the mango."

It's Mr. Okra In Your Pocket, the latest In Your Pocket talking keychain novelty from the New Orleans company that also makes "Cajun in Your Pocket" and the "Da Mayor in Your Pocket" device featuring select parts of former mayor Ray Nagin's radio rant after Hurricane Katrina.

Steve Winn, who founded Cajun In Your Pocket "17 or 18 years ago," said that Mr. Okra is a friend of his and several people had suggested he would be a good fit for the keychain recording. "We took him in the studio, gave him some money, and he gets a percentage.

"He's a great guy. He's really a smart businessman," Winn said of Mr. Okra. (His best-seller is Mr. T in Your Pocket; he has Rambo, Scarface, Mr. Rogers, Stewie from "Family Guy" and more In Your Pockets as well.)

The latest has six chants and sayings from the man thought to be New Orleans' last street peddler, Arthur Robinson. In his colorfully painted truck, Robinson drives his routes six days a week, stopping and selling fresh fruits and vegetables to customers who wait for him.Purchase quality USB flash drives wholesale, branded USB drives, custom USB flash drives, and promotional USB flash memory. Most know him only as Mr. Okra.

From blocks away, they hear his chant and know to get their money together: "I have mirlitons. I have bell peppers, tomatoes. I have cucumbers. Avocados."

At his regular stop in front of my house on Sunday morning, Robinson confirmed the brief bio on the back of the device. It says he was known as "Li'l Okra" when he worked with his dad, "Okra Man," who sold produce and random meats from a wheelbarrow.

In addition to three of his produce-related street chants, Mr. Okra also recorded three declarative statements in his raspy, distinct accent,We deal with various silicone jewelry wholesale especially the silicone bracelet. including:

"It ain't no use to cooking if you don't use fresh veg-e-tables."

"It ain't no joy like a 9th Ward Boy."

"I love my truck and I love what I do."

Robinson is making a royalty off all devices sold. He has said for months he will have a website soon, although my computer can't find it (and Robinson said other people have reported they can't find it, either.A full spectrum of vertically integrated products and services to the plastic card printing industry.)

I hope it is available soon, as a one-stop place to view his many media interviews,Agesteeljewelry offers tungsten wedding rings, tungsten wedding bands and tungsten jewelry for men's and women's. the film about him, the YouTube videos,Find the perfect luggage tag and you'll always find your luggage! the Morning 40 Federation song, the story of his 69th birthday at BJ's Lounge.

The keychains are around $10 and are available at several local stores, including Fleurty Girl and Dirty Coast, and from the Emanation site.

The man himself has them, if you are lucky enough to have Mr. Okra pass by your house.
