Flags in Cheech and Chong Still Smokin -1983

 It was thirty years ago when Cheech and Chong lit up the screens with another fantastic journey to Europe.  In the movie Still Smokin 1983 Cheech and Chong travel to Europe to enjoy the high life of Dutch culture. 

 Cheech and Chong board what looks like a cannabis restaurant on the on the river.  The flags of the United States and Denmark can be seen.

A strange white flag with something written on it is flying at one of the ends.  It has a Japanese Hiragana feel to it but yet seems to be a language of its own.

Flags in Cheech and Chongs Next Movie 1980

 The California State flag makes a small cameo in Cheech and Chong's Next Movie 1980. 

After visiting the Los Angeles Department of Public Social Welfare the state flag of California can be seen hanging in the office.

A US flag is barely noticeable on the wall.  It is part of a sticker with a checker flag.

Alphabet of Nations - They Might Be Giants 2005

 Several Flags appear in the official music video for the song Alphabet of Nations by They Might Be Giants.

Zimbabwe is the fun part of song, kind of like the five golden rings diddy in the 12 Days of Christmas.

Suriname is in South America and they speak Dutch.  Here a Surinamese girl accidentally holds up the flag upside down.

A little Norwegian girl smiles with little flags of Norway behind her.

Andalusia Virginia Tilt Flag

 

Andalusia is the most southern region of Spain that nearly touches Africa.  In fact most of this Spanish federal subject is aligned with Africa rather than to Europe, thus it deserves a Virginia Tilt flag.   

Interesting snychronicity is that after Islam expanded in spirit into Eastern Europe, by capturing the foundational City of Bible, Constantinople converted into a Islamic center and received her an Islamic name - Istanbul.  But a few years later the Islamic Nations in Western Europe were expelled - Al Anadlusia being one of them.   As Islam would gain a foothold in Eastern Europe, only a generation later to loose it Western Europe. 

The Siege of Grenada in 1492 by Christian forces on and Islamic City was cosmically balanced to the Siege of Constantinople in 1453 by Islamic forces on Christian City.

As the 15th Century saw the lights of Christian Constantinople go out, so to would Islamic lights of Cordoba be silenced into oblivion.  Just as the once great Christian Hagia Sophia became an Islamic Center, so to would the Grand Mosque of Cordoba convert into a Church.
