Space Invader Rank, plus a Minecraft Mod

There were three original forms of the Space Invaders, the Invaders near the top were the higher ranking and harder to hit, as they were smaller.  While the lower rank invaders were bigger and easier to hit.  Here the Space Invaders have been Mincraftinized to honor the legacy of awesome opponents in Video Games.  These guys are the Original A.I. Coded Bad Guys who came, saw, and conquered the imaginations of Earth.

Adult Education Vexilloids 1984 - Daryl Hall & John Oates

Red Vexilloid from "Adult Education" 1984 - Hall & Oates

Daryl Hall and John Oates are known for their rock and roller videos that usually feature the boys with the band.  But in their Adult Education 1984 video, they took an artistic approach with the meaning of the lyrics.  The result was surreal  Road Warrior Union of Male and Female forms work of art.  In this video a woman with a red vexilloid is matched up with a man with a large black shield. 

Hall sings with his signature passion-mug poses with the Ultimate 80s Wing-Man, Oates, in the background.  In the background are several vexilloid like objects that have an ancient Babylonian kind of feel. The union of man with woman has enchanted all cultures, and public rituals and displays of their physical and spiritual togetherness have manifested in all cultures. 

Here our mysterious "female virgin initiate" is holding a vexilloid in her right hand that has a wild yet organic appearance.  It has a rake shape with wildly placed strips of red fabric tied to certain points.

D.C. Cab Flag - 1983 Movie

D.C. Cab is a timeless gem, from the 1980s.  Starring 80s icon Mr. T, this film painted a clear and real image of America in the early 1980s.  Of vexillological originality is the D.C. Cab pennant.  It is a basic design.  It has a yellow background and D.C. CAB written upon it.  During the parade scene people can be seen waving it for our unlikely Super Cabbie heroes.

Flag for persons born on US territory before it was the USA

A temporal flag for persons born in the USA before it was a part of the USA.  It may seem strange but there are people who were born in parts of the USA before it was US soil.  Most of founding fathers were born in the British Empire, including George Washington and Benjamin Franklin. 

The pattern of the flag is based upon a lost flag that is currently attributed to John Hewson of Philadelphia, who was a calico printer during the Revolution, soldier and patriot for the American Republic in its infancy.  The lost flag is called the Martha Washington flag, and was one of many early unofficial flags created at the earliest phase of the US revolution.

Also note the General who lead the Mexicans to victory at the battle of Puebla, Mexico on May 5th 1862 is commemorated under this flag.  This is because he was born in what is now the USA.  General Ignacio Zargoza Segun was born in Goliad, Texas.  So in a weird way it was officially speaking a Texan who defeated the French at Puebla back in 1862 on that fateful May 5th.  Texas just got one more bragging right! 

Just one more reason for Americans to celebrate Cinco de  Mayo.  But note General Zargoza was officially a Mexican citizen at the time.  Yet-but, he was an Original Texan or Tejano who was born on pre-US soil who let his natural Texan fighting spirit triumph on that most important of Cinco de Mayos.  

Glaive Banner from Krull 1983

Excalibur meets Star Wars, spiced with two teaspoons of Dune and a hint of Willow and The Dark Crystal - walla' we have the movie Krull from 1983. The Glaive is a five pointed cutting weapon that responds to the controllers thoughts, kind of like a drone-boomerang.


A classic Sci-fi movie that just opens the imagination.  A movie worthy of reboot!
