Flags in Oh, God! - 1977

 Oh, God! 1977 stars George Burns and John Denver in a cinematic classic that combines humor with a deep philosophical and religious undertow.  George Burns plays as God while John Denver is a humble assistant store manager.  This non-traditional non-denominational take upon God plays well with modern new age notions of what God, is in the afterglow of the 1960s cultural revolution.  Note this is John Denver's only major motion picture in Hollywood.  After this 'Glorious' diddy on a modern  God, John went back to singing.

 
The state flag of California appears in this movie during the court scene.  It is on the 'left arm' side of the California judge.







A theology flag appears when John meets a room of established religious big wigs.  It has a blue field and golden image, that is unable to be determined.

On the right side of the judge the US Flag appears in front of the witness stand.  Here God reluctantly preforms a miracle in front of the judge and witnesses to illustrate his divine power.

Flag for UK Heir apparent - grandson of the Prince of Wales

A flag proposed future apparent King of the UK? How odd indeed.  Since science has extended the length of a lifetime, Queen Elizabeth is now a great grandmother of four generations.  The Prince of Wales, Prince Charles, has a flag and his son William has a flag as the Earl of Strathearn, thus the soon to be born 'Prince, Prince, Prince of Wales' or 'Prince of Wales Cubed' ought to have a good flag.

Here is my fair proposal.  As any good flag conserves the original Royal Pattern, the red stripe in the middle of the 'garter' denotes that he is the grandson of the Prince of Wales.

It is very possible that Queen Elizabeth will live past 100 years, like her mother who lived unto the ripe old age of 102.

This makes the possibility of having a Prince of Wales to the 4th power possible since Queen Elizabeth will turn 100 in the year 2026.

A good name for the wee Prince shouda' be Kenneth or Malcolm. Its bout time a Scottish name be in the Royal Registry? Tis good chances the lad'll be King in the year 2088. Hows a King Malcom I of Great Britain and Northern Ireland sound?

Flag from Where the Wild Things Are - 1963

Here is one of the most famous simple yellow flags to set sail in the imagination of childhood. The flag in Where the Wild Things Are, written in 1963 became a children's classic.


The flag of Max's imaginary sail ship has a flag on its top.  This type of flag is usually called a masthead pennant, in this case it consists of a long simple yellow pennant.

The yellow colour is repeated in the sails of Max's ship and the colour of the monster's eyes.



Although not a flag, another vexilloid appears when Max shows off his royal power with a scepter that holds a yellow orb and has a pointed arrow upon its top.  It looks like it is modeled after the symbol for Mars the God of War, which makes perfect sense in this book.

Here the monster bows to Max, honoring him as King of Where the Wild Things Are.

Flag for Lake Issyk Kul - The Hot Sea of Heaven

The Hot Sea of Heaven is located in Tian Shan Mountains in Central Asia, specifically in the nation of Kyrgyzstan.  The flag uses the colours black, white, orange, yellow, and purple.  It essentially shows a reflection of the nights sky upon the Milky Way Galaxy.  The moon is a crescent, yet its unlit portion is covering up a portion of a star in the Milky Way.  The mountains are coloured different colours to reflect the high mountain ranges. 

Lake Issyk Kul is essentially the 'Lake Titicaca' of the Old World, or rather Lake Titicaca is the Issyk Kul of the Americas?  This lake is saline and never freezes.  

American Flag in the Video for Jermey by Pearl Jam 1992

Music is many things.  It can express the feelings and it is a form of communication.  But in 1992 it became prophecy with the song Jeremy by Pearl Jam.  Although affluent communities have a lot of material abundance, they are sometimes, more often than not, poor with matters of the spirit.

The song Jeremy tackled the issues of bullying and social misfits in the early 1990s long before the tragedy at Columbine.


Here the outcast boy, Jeremy, stands wrapped in the American Flag and in a pit of fire.  In another segment the children of his classroom can be seen pledging allegiance to the flag, but the flag is behind them.

If you have the chance to be nice to somebody, try it.  One kind act can cause a positive reaction.  Or give them a silent prayer of hope.  Or find one nice thing about them and focus on that..
 

25th High School Reunion Flags from Peggy Sue Got Married 1986

 Is time travel possible?  Or is time just a construct of the mind?

No matter in 1986, America was given a wonderful trip back to the 1960s.  But not the sixties that of the "Free Love and New Grooves" but the sixties that were still governed by Eisenhower, before Hawaii and Alaska were made grade A America.



 Several vexilloloids appear in the movie, one of the most unique and perhaps the most famous of all 'Cake Pennant' vexilloids is the 25th Class Reunion Cross Cake Flag.  This is one of the rare short lived vexilloids that you can eat!

The cake vexilloids appears as an offering to the King and Queen of the 25th High School Reunion.  The colours of the school are used in the cake flag design - grey and yellow.   The Yellow Cake Pennant Flags reads "25 YEAR REUNION" and the other White Cake Pennant has "BUCHANAN HIGH SCHOOL" in gray written upon it.

Another amazing vexilloid is the welcome banner at the high school entrance that uses lights to highlight the numbers.

Here in between Helen Hunt and Kathleen Turner is a regular pennant announcing the 1960 25th Class Reunion of Buchanan High, California.  If you forgot the High school is named after President Buchanan from Pennsylvania.



 Things hardly every work out as planed.  Here Peggy Sue Got Married dives into all that high school spin of regret and dismisses it with a message of hope.
