MR SOMEBODY & MR NOBODY Nobody but Mr Somebody & Mr Nobody’s self- awarded five star paraphernalia carries the official INKUKU VERY GOLD SEAL and the paper to prove it. is an important business- man from the Gold City in Southern Africa. He lives where he was born because that is where he is from. He drives a Luxury German Sedan with his in- signia on all four doors. His two personal assistants, Heidi and Sharon, keep his official badge nice and shiny so it catches the glint of his gold filling when he flashes a smile and the sun is setting on his lapel. They hold his um- brella over him as the heat beats hot-hot and tune out the static when songs about lost love and leav- ing home play on his radio. Together the three make unpredictable-things- of-beauty that exude Afro-Cool-Universal-Style to sell in their Afro-Pop- Up-Shops to all types of discriminating tastes. Capturing every possible angle on good times, bad times and strange times, most of what they make sticks in your brain like memories of home. Only Mr Somebody & Mr Nobody is driving and flying and carving and spending to bring your home plucked wood chickens; glittered doily proverbs to live by; Fat Boys made in Ghana that don’t resemble the prototype; multiple use khanga cloths that broad- cast warnings about quick love and whirling snakes in the air; plus life enhanc- ing pictures of a piggy backing goat having a bicycle ride.

KHANGAs100% COTTON MULTIPURPOSE CLOTH

S H AW L B AG D O E KS K I R T

A great woman once said that there are a hundred and one ways to use a khanga, but that includes counting things like using the cloth to shoo away animals or to swat at flies. Since that’s not what you do each day Mr Somebody & Mr Nobody rules those uses out, so that leaves 99 ways to use a khanga. His two personal assistants each keep one of these multipurpose cloths in their handbags and are inclined to use them as needs arise.

THey C AN beCoMe:

But the most important reason for *you* using these cloths is because of the messages on them, they tune you like radios and help amplify you to be heard in large crowds, or in small crowds they play like a little advertising jingle that makes people stop, listen and whistle.

These Fat Boys made in Gha-na caused M r Somebody & M r Nobody to laugh so hard that he cr ied when he f i rst saw them. He asked his ass istants why these Fat Boys didn’t r e s e m b l e the proto -t ype and they assured him that “ they are exac t ly the same, just b igger.” The theme of these a n t - e a t e r - l o o k i n g b o y s i s

abundance, and how in Amer ica i t i s sometimes

cheaper to buy 2 hot dogs AND a Coke

than just one hot dog. This

i s   an idea  that i s hard for some people f rom Afr ica to c o m p r e h e n d . These c lass ic

beaut ies em-body the “plen-

concept . You get what you get and no complaining.

A horse has four legs yet it often falls

No sun sets without its histories

He ate the food and the food ate him

This world’s a harsh place, this world

This doily records the history of yet another batch of mr Somebody & mr Nobody’s relatives who were switching countries because they won the green card lottery and for other reasons. As he was plucked from his homeland, one of their children was going out of his mind from the length of the flight and the size of the leg room. By mistake he dumped cola into the handbag of the passenger sitting behind his seat–not once, but twice! The second time, the passenger grew extremely tall and began hurling French words so that the flight attendants rushed to the little boy’s aid. The emigrating mother just sat there in the sky chalking up the miles without any armpit room because by then her son’s head was in it. Her tears welled up enough that it was like wearing thick contact lenses

and made her think she had kaleidoscope vision because everything was looking all full of patterned watery bits. Her eyes star ted to drip like bad plumbing to the point of having a salty ocean on top and below. After the tall beast was subdued, the attendants learned that this mom was leaving her mother; her mother ’s mother ’s brother; her home, and all else against her wishes. So, the flight attendants kept sending pints of champagne in her direction and said “welcome home,” when they landed.
