So my dad and I were watching the closing ceromonies to the olympics and towards the end when the Olympic flag is passed from the current host city to the next the mayor of London came up to recieve the flag. He was dressed like a slob with money, his grin confirmed his citizenship, his walk looked pre-human and his hair was a cross between Prince Valiant, Pete Rose and that blonde dude from Spinal Tap. My dad and I laughed for a solid five minutes as he stood next to his classy and reserved Chinese counterpart. But I’m a fan of Boris Johnson, (the entertainment!) and for more you should check out his wikipedia page, which is engrossing and hilarious. But first watch this video of him participating in some sort of old-timer celebrity soccer game between England and Germany.It’s my favorite video of the month. I just can’t get over the fact that this guy just got voted in as mayor of London.
