Flags in the X Files Movie, 1998 Texas
The X-Files started out as a television show and later moved on to Hollywood. It was created by Chris Carter, a British Filmmaker. The shows explores the mysterious, taboo, and fringe elements of culture. It follows the investigations of an FBI agent - Fox Mulder. Agent Mulder is assigned to the bowels of the FBI for his unconventional work on taboo subject matter. Agent Mulder takes the unconventional seriously and consequently is seen as a pariah, yet a pariah with some success. The driving force in agent Mulder's propensity for the fringe and less than logical cases stems from a not so friendly close encounter of the third kind childhood memory.
Agent Mulder, Agent Scully and the Flag of Texas
X-Files movie 1998
The film begins with a bomb threat against a federal building in Texas. In this scene Mulder and Scully are climbing the rooftops.
Interestingly, an X-Files episode also successfully anticipated a terror threat of flying an airplane into the world trade center before it happened on 9/11.

Frogger Check Point Flag, and a proposal for a new holiday - Leap Day! Frogs and Rainbows oh my!
Check Point Flag from the Frogger Universe
It's leap day 2012! Coincidentally it is in sync with the Summer Olympics and US presidential elections. It's kinda' odd that Leap Day hasn't become a more fun filled action packed business booming holiday!
Maybe next time in 2016? Let's get started, you have four years to plan people!
You can decorate the restaurants and bars in a swamp frog theme and or celebrate Kermit the Frog or any other famous frogs that leap out into our consciousness from fantasia. Rumor has it Kermit was born on Leap Day - February 29th.
The action packed LEAP DAY festivities would include mandatory dancing and jumping? Think of it as a pre-spring cleaning before the official arrival of spring? Or maybe just a day off to sit in your lily' pad and contemplate the cosmos!?
A new holiday that comes once every four years? Think of the business opportunities! The game of the day would be of course - leap frog! Perhaps a competitive adult leap frog playoff? People can set a new records for longest and fastest leap frog set? Leap Frog teams by age and weight? Public reading of the Frog and Princess? A national day to celebrate our amphibian neighbors who switch hit from water to land?
The only flag I could find for Leap Day 2012 that is remotely related to Frogs was found in the Frogger video game, which leaped out of the imagination of Japan back in 1981. Since then their have been over 30 video game sequels. The check point flag is taken from Nintendo's Gameboy Color.
Happy Leap Day & "hopping" Leap Day 2016 leaps into your imagination.
Holiday "LEAP DAY" Music would be based on the game Frogger
A day a positive thinking and joy - RAINBOW!
UP and Up and UP!
The Ultimate Leap Day Holiday Song - by Kermit the Frog

Caddyshack Flags, the classic 1980s golf comedy
Caddyshack Ball with flag logo
Golf is a choice game for vexillologists, since flags play a critical role in the game. Players take aim at a flag after all. Their hope is to get closer and closer to the flag. Eventually players or caddies are allowed to lift the flag. Golf certainly is a vexillological delight.
Starring Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, and Rodney Dangerfield Caddyshack became the iconic Country Club comedy of the decadent 80s. Caddyshack lampoons the various personalities that convene around a country club golf course - the fancy pants snobs, old farts, new money, arrogant jerks, gifted geniuses, spoiled brats, and of course young and ambitious rascal caddies. This movie proves that rich people are funny too.

9 to 5 Princess Flags, 1980
Liberated 9 to 5 Office
notice flags of the peasants
9 to 5 was a comedic epic for the working woman in 1980s America. Starring Jane Fonda, Dolly Parton, and Lily Tomlin. During one scene the girls fantasize about putting the old boy's school style of sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigoted management out of service.
In Violet Newstead's dream the boss gets poisoned and shoved out the window. Afterwards the office is liberated and the workers and cartoon townsfolk celebrate the three queens victory over the jerk wad chauvinistic boss way of life.
The flags waved by the townsfolk workers are pennants that vary in solid colours - from left to right purple, yellow, sky blue, green and red.
Happy Forest Critters Encourage a rise up against jerky bosses?
The forest critters encourage Violet to permanently fire her boss with smiles. The bunny seems to be knitting a vexilloid of some sort - that has a tombstone with R.I.P. written on it with a green helmet.
Here is a flag inspired by 9 to 5 that symbolizes the hope for a work environment that is free from sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigots. The colours are based upon the pennants found in the fantasy scene that are being waved to the liberating queens of the office.
