Cable TV Univesities

COLBERT UNIVERSITY?

Recently two virtual self made universities have recently come online due to Cable Television.

From Comedy Central, Steven Colbert University was created. It's motto is the letter "U." The central logo looks like the Ten Commandments and it has a light bulb above it, in reference to Thomas Edison or perhaps a good idea. There are two branches below the 10 commandments. In between the branches are two words that I can't completely make out. Perhaps it says, 'Campus Codei.'

On the other hand from Fox News Cable Network, Glenn Bleck has declared the existence of Beck University. His university logo has a shield with a book written with what looks like, "Tryannis Obsequium Seditio Deo." Read across it can be translated as "Tyranny Obeyed, God Subverted." But read page by page it can be translated as, "Tyranny Subverted, God Obeyed." There is a bust of George Washington facing 'Sinister,' which is considered the wrong way and a American Buffalo facing 'Dexter' which is the 'right' way. At the bottom is a feather pen. The black and turquoise shield is surrounded by 10 golden bunches of leaves.

Colbert University was founded on a Comedy Cable Network, a comical network with a hidden serious tone, while Beck University is founded on a Cable News Network, which has a serious tone with a hidden level of comedy.

BECK UNIVERSITY?

Will these universities play each other in the TV-League? There is already a Tool Academy on VH1. Tool Academy is were manner misfits are taught proper manners.

Bucks County Flag


Bucks County is one of the three original counties created in the initial charter to William Penn. Originally it was called Buckinghamshire County, but it was shortened to Bucks.

The most dominant colour is navy blue, which serves as a background. In the center is a yellow disc with the County Seal upon it. There are five apparent circles that can be counted. Starting from the outer ring: the first largest is the yellow, next is a rope ring, followed by thing green ring with writing on it, finally the inner ring is another rope ring that balances with the larger rope ring.

In the middle of the rings apparent is the county seal. The County Seal consists of a white shield divided by central horizontal evenly placed black stripe. Upon the black stripe are three white discs. On the crest of the shield is a tree, perhaps an oak. Vines are on the left and right sides of the shield.

Finally on the green ring it is written,
"WILLIAM PENN-PROPRIATOR-AND-GOVERNOR-BVCKS"


The flag is simple and follows the traditional order of sub-sub federal flags that that are low key and humble in design. For it's purpose and station it is an excellent and appropriate design.

Open Flag

The American West was Officially Open with the
entry of Missouri in 1821


There are many kinds of 'OPEN' flags, but perhaps the most popular design is red, white, and blue design. In flag snob-speak it is a horizontal tri-bar: chief gules, base azure, and the center bar is argent with the English word open written in the central bar in sable in capital Roman Letters.

The neat coincidence is that its design is similar to the State Flag of Missouri. Since Missouri was the gateway state that 'OPENED' the West. Why? You might ask? Missouri was the first state completely west of the Mississippi. In wake of all other subsequent "full bodied" western states the gateway arch was constructed.

Butler Elementary Bucks County PA

In the free local Bucks County Paper The Advance of Bucks County, PA August 19, 2010 issue. The principal from Butler Elementary School climbed Mt. Washington in New Hampshire, and brought the flag of the school he taught at to the summit.

I suppose a high school teacher in Central Bucks School District must then climb Mt. McKinley-Denali to top that! He or she would either pose with the school flag of CB North, CB South, CB East or maybe Archbishop Wood?

But if you are a middle school teacher in Central Bucks School District, then should should climb Mt. Whitney in California, it's the tallest peak in United 48.

Butler Elementary is in Chalfont, PA 18914.

The Balance and Harmony Symbol in America



What do these two images have in common?



















The Yin and Yang Symbol. In the COEXIST logo it is the letter "S." The 80s Nintendo Game form Hawaii's Famous T&C Surf Designs Wood & Water Rage the Yin & Yang Symbol can be found on the surf board.

The Yin & Yang Symbol is quite old, older than America and perhaps older than some Biblical Figures. In the United States it is dominantly a counter culture symbol, symbol of the groovy, common in martial arts, and modestly represents Chinese American culture.

Ocean City, New Jersey


This article is about the City Seal for Ocean City, NJ. It has an eight spoke ship wheel. Written on the Navigator's wheel are the words, "OCEAN CITY" near the crest, and "NEW JERSEY" near the compartment.

The central ring is gold and looks like the a circular ship's window with 16 rivets.

The picture 'within' the central 'portal' is that of the famous NJ Boardwalk & Atlantic Ocean. A ship is cruising in background with it's bow pointing towards the fly.

On the crest is the ancient symbol of a mariner, a trident made of wood. On the left-hoist side is a women swan diving in a conservative red bikini with a blue bathing cap. On the right-fly side is what seems to be some kind of mythical fish-humanoid like creature coloured green.

Below the seal is a lighter blue ribbon that reads, "AMERICA'S GREATEST FAMILY RESORT." Finally in the compartment (bottom of the seal) is the lower handle of the trident that is recessive to all elements on the seal. Previously Ocean City's motto used to be, "WEALTH, HEALTH, HAPPINESS."

Ocean City, NJ is a great family resort and caters its entertainment towards a family feel. Teenagers should go to Wild Wood and Atlantic City can provide grown up entertainment. Ocean City is a dry town. Thus before you cross the border, numerous liquor stores will greet you. The flag of Ocean City is basically the Delta flag with the city seal in the middle.
