Flags in Sixteen Candles - Illinois State Flag

 In the 1980s the drama of youth culture was given a serious and yet humorous take under the direction of John Hughes.  In 1984 the high school classic Sixteen Candles highlights some of the odd aspects of growing up in suburbia.

In most John Hughes films the state flag of Illinois almost always makes a cameo.  Here the heroine of the story Sam lets the truth out to the universe, that she would love to be with Jake who is looking at her from his seat.

Flags from Twice Upon a Time - 1983

 Twice Upon a Time is a surprise fairytale from the imagination of George Lucas.  The movie expands upon the story of magical dream beings from Frivoli who save the Rushers on Earth from living in a perpetual nightmare of existence.

Here is the black flag hood ornament-jack of the Nightmare King.  

 Ralph the all purpose animal meets the nemesis of the story in his avian chrome faced hot rod.










Ralph has taken the form of a bumble bee when he enters the human world.

 Fonzie makes a brief unintended cameo in this film.  Behind his right shoulder is the pennant of Yale University.

The US flag can be seen in the upper left corner, when a man is overcome with positive feelings.

Flag of Alto Velo Island

Alto Velo Island is another part of the world in dispute like the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, but at a much less acrimonious level of tension.  Albeit, a nill source of tension, but yet a measurable level of tension nonetheless.

In this case, the tension between nations stretches between the United States of America and the Dominican Republic.  Oddly the Dominican Republic wanted to become a part of the USA when the man on the US fifty dollar bill was president - Mr. Grant.  But racist US congressmen blocked its inclusion into the American Dream.  However subsequent congressmen of a similar nature had no doubts, issues or hesitation on sending US military forces to the this region of the world to protect 'US property.'

Right now the US still has the faintest of claims on this slice of real estate.  It was claimed by the grand old USA in 1860, when the USA was a virgin Union of States.*

The flag of Alto Velo island uses the colours black, white, blue and red.  The colour scheme is based upon the Dominican Republic, while the overall design is based on the flag of Scotland and Jamaica. A single white star near the would be honor point represents America's heritage with this enchanting land.

Flag of Ducie Island

Ducie Island is located in the South Pacific and was claimed by the United States in 1867 under the Islands Guano Act.  However the United Kingdom also laid claim to this island.  Currently as of 2012 this smallest of specks on earth is still uncertain.  The UK rules it as a part of the Pitcairn Islands.  However the US has never fully relinquished her claim. 

The flag of this island is based on the US flag. It has a navy blue background and a yellow star by the lower hoist that is 'upside down.' Ducie Island is due south of Destruction-Green Island of Washington State.  

 

Flag of CFBDSIR2149 - Kristalzysha the Orphan Planet

Orphan planet? So that means astronomers thinks of stars as being parents? I suppose there are to be adopted planets by alien star systems too? How about foster child like planets that only stay around a star for a while before being let go in the cosmos?


 This is the flag of one of our closest orphan planets. It is likely home to an advanced form of life. Planets that don't orbit stars make great homes for wise and smart civilizations (what we would call AI, angel, or spirit life) since regular human-like life would find it difficult to live in these systems.


Thus you don't have to worry about disturbing primitive sun based forms of life on these so called 'rogue' systems. Also remember there is nothing rogue about these sky systems.  They are what they are and since they are not like us, racist and arrogant scientists call them rogue.  It is a grand misplacement of primitive values. 


 CFBDSIR2149 did not fail anything.  Failed star has a negative connotation that warps the majestic value of these objects in the sky!  

Scientists like to call brown dwarfs 'failed stars.' These objects in the heavens didn't fail anything! Rather stars are over achieving brown dwarfs?

And what is the deal with all this dwarf terminology? It's mean and derogatory for little people.

The flag of CFBDSIR2149 consists of a quartered field of brown and pink. In the canton is a blue crescent.

Flag of the Anglophone or English Language

The flag for the English Langauge consists of elements taken from the English Flag and the Southern Cross. The five stars on the flag are modeled on the Southern Cross. The eight pointed star represents the brightest star-alpha crux, the seven pointed star represents the second brightest-beta crux, the six pointed star represents the third brightest star-gamma crux, the five pointed star represents the fourth brightest star-gamma crux, the four pointed star represents the fifth brightest star-delta crux, and the three pointed star represents the sixth brithest star-epslion crux.
