Thrift World 5

I hung onto this shirt for a long time and even called a friend to find out the backstory on Sallassie. As I heard the Wikipedia entry read to me over the phone I was totally confused as to why this guy would be on a shirt but when I heard the word "Rastafarianism" I remembered. Haile Sallassie is considered God incarnate by Rastas. After that, I put the shirt back with reluctance. Had I worn this thing, I would've looked like a Class A poser.
