this is my new
favorite
airport friend.

what the photo fails to show you
is that,
along with his gorgeous belly,
he was sporting a
FANTASTIC sunburn
and a skull cap that read
"US 44th Pres: OBAMA!"
in rhinestones.
(i haven't been able to find an exact match....
but if you like the look, you can try this.)
hahahahahahahahah
