Bonefish Grill Temporal Ranks

 



Coincidentally, Bonefish Grill is a bi-millennial.  In 2084, Bonefish Grill will turn 84.  I was impressed the Bonefish Grill Armada when it was 22, back in 2022!  In order to keep Jabaa the Hut off my back!

Note the REAL original Millennials lived from 994 until 1000, which included the likes of Lief Erikson.

Unit 3092 Flag - Full Metal Jacket

 

They are the few, the proud, the US Marines.  The colours of the military branch is red and yellow.  You can see the livery of the colors within the training platoon 3092.  1987 was year that public got an up close and personal view of how the Marines train.  

Leaning to dance with the angel of death is privilege.  Taking on this responsibility requires a certain amount of training and is a heavy burden on the heart and soul.   Harsh language and being called mean names is the least of one's worry when one is assigned with ending the life of another.   

The flag 3092 is in the background.  Make no mistake you can thank a marine for the freedoms you enjoy.  They are the muscle of America that does the bidding of the people, often at first contact to push the enemy out of the way.

NATO signal flag for Euler's Number

 

The second place runner up of famous number's is Euler's Number, but pronounced more like 'Oiler's Number'.  Thus the flag of 'e' or rather the flag of 'oy' is a superstar in maths. 

Here we take the NATO numerical flags coded to 2, 7, and 1, to give us this sweet flag.

 Note this is upgraded, evolved Euler's Number flag, since the other one is rather drab.

The Cartman 6' Foot Covid-19 Flag Marker from South Park

 

2020 was a year for the history books of social governance.  It was during the South Park Covid Special that that unique vexilloid made an appearance.  Cartman created a safety flag waving device that people were supposed to maintain.  It was a red flag with the number six upon it with an apostrophe that represented feet, which converts to 1.828 meters, which is rounded up to two meters, which is about two door knob lengths away.  

You can see the Covid Safety Vexilloid resting in the door way next to Cartman's mom.  Cartman is eating his signature Cheey Poofs, but as a not so nutritious breakfast cereal.

Luhansk and Dontsk Peoples Republic - 8 Years Not in Tibet of Lost Republics

 


Since the 2014 Ukranian War two break away regions have formed in Eastern Europe.  They are the Luhansk Peoples Republic and the Donetsk Peoples Republic.  This region of Ukraine was the mostly Russian speaking region of Ukraine that wanted to maintain an Eastern outlook.  Their flags are fraternal flag partners who existed in limbo for nearly 8 years without any recognition.  

The flags are similar to the flag of Russia, except for the top bar which is light blue for Lugansk and black for Donetsk.  

As when Louisiana Territory was sold the USA when Napoleon occupied Spain, the occupation of the Russian military under Putin is currently pushing for their annexation into Russia.   

Kherson and Zaporizhzhia are also soon to be incorporated into Mother Russia shortly.   But they never existed as breakaway republics.  

Texas had good 10 year run as an independent breakaway republic before it was annexed into the USA, but it looks like the Donetsk and Luhansk Republics will not break the Texan ten-year standard.  These republics lasted from 2014 to 2022, in limbo, and their time in limbo will soon be over. 

But the Transnistria Republic snuggled in between Moldova and Ukraine is holding the record for Eastern Europe with 32 years as a mostly unrecognized republic since 1990.
