Bullwinkle Maine Flag, including Rocky, Boris, and Natasha

Maine is one of the few states to have unique animals on it.  A few flags have the bald eagle, which makes sense as the national bird.  But only Northern states have eagles on the flags.  Maine has a moose on the flag, sitting in the grass.  But for this fun Maine flag, it has been themed with the Rocky and Bullwinkle characters.  Boris is the farmer with scythe.  Natasha is a sailor.  You can see Rocky the squirrel flying the background.  And at the center of it all is Bullwinkle the goofy and lovable American moose.

Official Flag of Maine
Although these Rocky and Bullwinkle are from Minnesota, there are parts of Minnesota that resemble Maine, with all the trees and all.  Also Maine and Minnesota are border states with Canada.  Usually in the US when one thinks of border states, the dichotomy from the Southern Rebel and Northern Yankee is what books mean.  But there is a bigger border of states the see-saw with Canada.







 The animation of Rocky & Bullwinkle & Friends tapped a sweet spot in America.  It was revived in the 1990s with Ren & Stimpy Show and later you could see this style with Powerpuff Girls.

Google's Green Security Tower Flag


Flag's convey all sorts of information.  Not so long ago the green flag used to indicated national affiliation to Libya.  But in most cases it is the "All Okay" signal.  It is the green light to go ahead and keep on trucking.

If you ever left the country and tried to sign into your Google account and didn't have your phone.  Then you can get trapped out of your own internet castle.  Even if you have alternative emails to link up, it does not always work.  So take caution and make sure your phone works overseas, you might have to pay an extra dime and dollar otherwise.

You can see the okay green flag in the image above.  No doubt this flag and image may change. Usually every five years corporations get a makeover.

Afro-Caribbean Heritage Flag, Afro-Carib American


One of the largest ethnic groups in the United States are people of Afro-Caribbean Heritage.  They are a double transplants who had a middle on another culture.  Originally from Africa, these people were transported to the Caribbean.  Some stayed for days, while others stayed for years, or their entire lifetime.  As a consequence this part of the Americas has a strong African phenotype.  Yet their was some mixed with all the other peoples who lived in that area, be it white or native peoples.  Like the Scots-Irish the Afro-Carib are an important and dominant people group in the United States and Canada.

This flag honors people is America who no longer live in the Caribbean but have ancestors in Africa.  The flag is saltire of black, red takes up the hoist area, green takes of the fly area, and yellow takes up the top and bottom area.  You can see the echo of African colours and style of Jamaica with this flag.
 
Perhaps the most renowned people group like this in the United States are the Scots-Irish.  Are the Scottish?  Or are they Irish?  Why the double name?  It makes them a Scots-Irish American.  Likewise there are Scots-Irish Canadians, Scots-Irish Aussie, and even Scots-Irish South African.  Thus this flag echos the flag of Scotland.  No doubt a few people who are Afro-Carib American have a wee bit of Scottish blood.  A even further down there are certain people who are Afro-Carib-n-Scots-Irish American!

Bonus question.  So what do you call a Irishman who moves to Scotland then whose generations move to America?  Irish-Scots?   So, no matter... all these peoples are often beautiful, tall, strong, and smart.  You should be grateful to have such peoples in your nation or tribe.



Encore, Encore!  For Marley & Me...

Flag Proposal For Upper Peninsula, aka Marquettsylvania


The Upper Peninsula has sometimes thought about breaking away from her southern mainland of Michigan.  There have been all sorts of proposed flags.  Here is one more design.  That honors Quebec, Canada, the US, and Marquette.

The flag is a tribar of blue, white and blue withe red fluer-di-lis in the middle.  The two blue sections represent Lake Superior and Lake Michigan.  The red, white, and blue theme is from the US flag.  The fluer-di-lis connected this land to the first settler of Michigan, Frenchman Marquette.

The style of the flag hints of Canada to honor the Upper Peninsula's connection to Canada as well.  The people who live there like to called Yoopers, making the people in Michigan the Lowpers.

The × Times Flag

Funny thing is that there is not a times key.  Sure, there is an big X and little x, but the times symbol is slightly different.  Here they are all together: Xx×.  See the difference?  You have to code in 0215 with the ALT key for the × to appear. 

So member that 5×43=215

South Dakota Dakota Fanning Flag

Dakota Fanning was one of the stars in the Eclipse -2007.  She plays as an evil Jane, a member of the Volturi which are the Vampire Police.  By neat coincidence the flag of South Dakota has the seal of the state eclipsing the sun.  Therefore, Dakota Fanning makes a nice fit for the South Dakota Dakota Fanning Flag.

The hazy outside represents the Sun's glowing corona, which you can only see during an eclipse. 

Note that Dakota Fanning is not from South Dakota. She was born in Georgia.
