Best Thing Seen on the London Sidewalk Yesterday

[faux_teak]

A big black dude dressed in the baggie jeans/baseball cap/humongous jacket style of a hip-hop guy complete with giant bling bling pendant necklace.

The thing that made it awesome was that the necklace said, 'Barack Obama, Mr. President'.

Also, for anyone who didn't see my gchat away message:

Wonderful.

I can report that, around the world (but especially in Ethiopia), Obama is loved beyond all reason. There are numerous cafes and pool halls and amenity stands already named after him.

What is an amenity stand?

This is making me envision little tables at the side of the road like rest-stops that sell basic things like batteries and tampons and painkillers and soda. Only, they're like, 'Barack Obama Honorary Batteries and Tampons and Painkillers and Soda'.

I'm sure the reality is much less exciting, but I would totally buy Barack Obama Honorary... anything.
