I envision a bunch of old, pasty-faced, heavyset guys in Hawaiian shirts getting drunk by the pool every day with foam shark fins on their hats while loudly slurring along the lyrics to “Cheeseburger in Paradise.”

The Wu-Tang Clan seems like a natural fit, too. The clan had a Wu-Mansion at one point.
