Other Flags in the original Lambda Lambda Lambda Fraternity House - Revenge of the Nerds 1984

All kinds of flags appear in the Revenge of the Nerds film from 1984.  Flags are used as house decorations to set a festive atmosphere as social signal joke banners. The upper flag is the married signal joke flag.  It has a red background with a white ball and chain.  Not a slavery flag, rather it indicates that the persons here can not go out and party because she or he is married.

The other flag is the Beer Mug flag.  It has sky blue background and filled mug of freshly poured draft beer.  It indicates that a party is going on and persons are enjoying a festival for persons over 21 years of age, at least in the United States.  You can
also see the school pennant for Adams College in this shot.  It is a red pennant with the schools coat of arms. Another alcoholic flag can be seen on a bulletin board - the glass of wine flag.  It has white background with a red wine glass upon it.  It is visible when the pigs are let loose at the Lambda Lambda Lambda probationary party.

Fraternal Livery of the Lambda Lambda Lambda - Revenge of the Nerds 1984


Long before the television show about a Big Bang Theory, snapper chat, digital avatar uploading, or the mass hypnosis of hand held silicon laden communication devices, there was in 1984 the revenge..... Revenge of the Nerds.  More than just a movie about bullying and misfits, it was destined to become Art Inspired Reality with the formation of an actual fraternity modeled after this film - Lambda Lambda Lambda.   The first real fraternity of Lambda Lambda Lambda was established in Connecticut on January 15, 2006 at the University of Connecticut.

The livery colours of Lambda Lambda Lambda are black and white, which are seen as the black and white streamers. At a party when the Tri-Lambs are having their probationary fraternity party, the black and white livery can easily be seen. 

Coincidentally the Machine Nation of ZERO ONE uses the same colours of black and white, as seen the Matrix animated prequels.

Here the racing pennant of the Tri-Lambs can be seen with their supporting sister sorority - Omega Mu.  The colours of the pennant are black with white writing, while Omega Mu's pennant has a pink background and white writing.








USA Flag in Revenge of the Nerds - 1984


In 1984 the world of academia was rebooted in favor of the technologically skilled. And greatest of all "N" word movies hit Hollywood.  Revenge of the Nerds 1984 is the classic original "N" word movie.  The flag of the USA appears in this film several times.  Its most centered scene takes place when we see it hanging in the makeshift gymnasium-dorm above the robot and next to the epic underdog heroes of the film Lewis & Gilbert, played by  Robert Carraoine and Anthony Edwards respectively seen in the photo above


The US flag also appears during the Greek Council room.  It can be seen hanging on the port side of the Greek Hall.


The US flag also appears as an arm patch on some of the college competitors before the beginning of the Beer-Tricycle Race.  It can be best seen on the blue and red dressed members of the race.

All through the 1980s techie movies were unleashed into the public sphere before the main launch of the internet in the 1990s.  Other such techno-computer oriented movies included Real Genius, Weird Science, and War Games.

Chris Rock's South Carolina Heritage Flag Proposals




The winning design was presented to then South Carolina Governor Jim Hodges.  The flag featured the stars replaced with stars from the WB network.

 In a satire to replace the Confederate Flag, Chris Rock went to the streets of South Carolina to ask people what they think about different flags to replace the Confederate Battle Flag.

This is the Silly Saltine on the blue background flag.
 This is the Malcolm X flag.
 This the odd South Carolina OKKK flag.

Another absurd flag is the OJ Simpson with female Caucasian flag.

Proposals for a New Mississippi State Flag?



 These flags conserve the overall design of the modern Mississippi State Flag.  Instead of the Confederate battle flag you can substitute another non-offensive Southern Heritage symbol - like the Bonnie Blue Flag. This flag takes original design elements, conserves Southern Heritage, and keeps it modern.   
 Here the Southern Crescent is used. Nominally a symbol of South Carolina, but it is also a general symbol of Southern Values.  In this case its meaning can be doubly extended to reflect the new communities of the Islamic South, which in 2015 is an extreme minority.  Also note that an unknown, yet sizable portion of slaves brought over from Africa had Islamic heritage.  The most famous being Kunta Kinte who was popularized in the Roots television series from 1977, played by LeVar Burton and John Amos.
The original Naval Jack of the Confederacy conserves heritage.  It only has seven stars as Mississippi was a part of the Original Southern Seven.  The seven states that left the Union before Lincoln was inaugurated include: South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas.

This flag has a multilateral meaning.  The crescent symbol is related to the South with a smaller Bonnie Blue Star in the upper corner.  But it can also represent the portion of Islamic African immigrants who were forcibly bonded into American service, long before Mississippi was a state.

Also note the Starry Symbolic preserves some of the modern design, but diminishes Southern Heritage Symbols, if not for basic framework of the original flag. 

In the end it is a good bet that the Original Mississippi State flag from 1861 will be chosen.  If the people of Mississippi decide to change their flag it will mostly likely happen on November 6, 2015.  Reason being, it was 150 years from that date that the last in military service and official Confederate Flag was lowered on the CSS Shenandoah, on November 6, 1865, thus putting a final surrender and salute to the legion of heroes who severed in the US Civil War.
