You just knew this was coming:

“Low plastic stool, cheap but delicious noodles, cold Hanoi beer.” This is how I’ll remember Tony. He taught us about food — but more importantly, about its ability to bring us together. To make us a little less afraid of the unknown. We’ll miss him. pic.twitter.com/orEXIaEMZM

Is it too much to ask that one of these remembrances doesn’t include a photo of himself?

When you die, there are two options for a Barack Obama memorial tweet:

1. Picture of Obama with you
2. Picture of Obama without youhttps://t.co/PGtK6dq3bU

What’s even funnier, a parody account that bills itself as “Tweets you wish were from @BarackObama” beat the real Obama by almost 5 hours. Since it looked exactly what the former president might have tweeted, it, too, went viral with over 167,000 likes:
