Trip souvenir contest winner is Rohit Nepal, who suggested purchasing regionally appropriate bobbleheads. Only problem is, I couldn't find any in Kentucky. I tried truck stops, college campus stores, and museums. Any number of bobble-heads would have worked: Secretariat, Colonel Sanders (turns out he was a real person), Muhammed Ali. I guess I'll have to find one on the internet.
Illinois's bobblehead has to be Abe Lincoln or Barack Obama. Or ideally, Barack Obama dressed in Abe Lincoln's black suit and sporting an Abe Lincoln beard. I have no idea what bobblehead will represent Arizona. Who's from Arizona? John McCain? Sort of.
Ro, I assume you'd prefer an Obama bobblehead. Let me know if I'm wrong. It will be waiting for you when you move back to the country (unless packages mailed to State Department employees overseas travel at regular Postal Service rates--then I'll send it to you).
A Barry Goldwater bobblehead, of course.
ReplyDeleteJohn McCain keeps one on his desk.

That is genius. I kind of like Carly's idea though. Jesus riding a dinosaur would certainly be memorable...
