Tennessee North Carolina Heritage Flag

Tennessee-North Carolina Heritage Flag
North Tennolina Flag

Until 1790 Tennessee was a part of North Carolina. Thusm this flag was made to honor the North Carolina Heritage of Tennessee.

The pattern is similar but both horizontal bars are red. Instead of a 'N' and 'C' there is a 'T' and 'N.'

Likewise the dates are different. They refer to the admission of Tennessee as an American State. Tennessee was the first of the 'Born Again American States.' On June 24, 1866 it was readmitted under a coincidentally North Carolina born President - Andrew Johnson. Tennessee was first admitted into the United States on June 1, 1796.

Wyoming Territory Flag and Heritage Flags 1868-1890

Wyoming Territorial Flag 1868-1890

Something like Back to Future, this flag was made official 101 years after the Wyoming Territory ceased to exist. Thus Wyoming is the first state to instate an official flag for a time period that had already happened!

But there is an authentic element via the seal and coat of arms which were official when Wyoming was indeed a territory.

New Brunswick-Maine Heritage Flag

New Brunswick-Maine Heritage Flag
The New Mainswick Flag

This flag is to be flown over the region in Maine or New Brunswick that was claimed and lost by Canada or the United States.

Basically it's the New Brunswick flag with a United States twist. The Royal English Lion is replaced with the Constellation of Leo the Lion. It maintains a 'Royal Lion' but in a 'new constellation' in honor of the US Flag. The water waves are changed to red and white in Yankee Tradition.

Although the 4th of July is an American Holiday, it is also a vital moment in Canadian History. This flag is appropriate since it was 100 years ago that Canada and the USA were at war with each other. But since then relations between these sibling nations is as good as it gets, relative to most of the nations of the world.

Domestically Maine and New Brunswick are like border states/provinces between the North and the South as it is in Kentucky or Maryland. But the historical division is wider between these 'brother nations ' who went their separate ways in 1776.

Flags in Harold and Kumar go to White Castle 2004

Harold and Kumar by US Flag in White Castle

In 2004 the void left by Cheech and Chong was filled up by Harold and Kumar, with the release of the movie Harold and Kumar go to White Castle.


The coincidence is that Cheech and Chong are somewhat analogous to Harold and Kumar. Cheech is a mix of Indian and Chong is mix of Asian. Likewise Harold is Asian while Kumar is Indian.

Cheech and Chong were a comedic duo of a 1/2 Asian person with a 1/2 Indian person who were both glued together by a common 1/2 Caucasian heritage. Just in case you forgot, people of Mexican identity are generally a mix of Caucasian and Native Indian. Also Chong was a 50/50 mix of Chinese and Fine Canadian White.

But Harold and Kumar are full blooded - Asian and Indian. The funny thing is that Europeans thought they were in India thus the name stuck with the aboriginals of America, however most Native Americans look more East Asian than India Indian.

To complicate matters further, the term Asian in the US is warped to signify East Asian people only. Officials and the media overlook that India, Israel, and Arabia are also a part of Asia. What this means is that New York has a higher percentage of Asians than what's normally considered Asian when you factor Middle Eastern, Israeli and India people into the ratio.

Confused? Basically you're average American Joe (Asian or not) usually considers people of only of Mongoloid features to be Asian, but Asia is bigger than that. Suffice to say that most of the people in the Torah, Bible, and Koran were Asian.

Nonetheless, Cheech and Chong were West Coast go with flow Cali-style, but Harold and Kumar are East Coast New Jersey Nutballs, like George Carlin. Finally note that, although Harold and Kumar are younger than Cheech and Chong, Harold and Kumar's ethnic family trees are much older. Mexican people have been on the planet for less than 500 years.

There is a green and white commercial ad flag on the wall above the fire extinguisher. You can also see the livery of White Castle - which is blue and white, via the pennants. Also Neil Patrick Harris plays himself as a famous person who runs into 'regular folk.'

The John Hewson American Revolution Pine Tree Flag from 1776

An Appeal to Heaven Flag Fun

One of the Early Flags of the
American Revolution in 1776

This flag was used in the early part of the revolution by continental forces at large. Generally it represented the Northern States.








A Keebler Elf Version of the Pine Tree Flag
US Revolution meets cookies

This flag is a mash up of the US Appeal to Heaven Pine Tree flag with the Keebler Cookie Elf Tree - so familiar to people who grew up on television. Although not a pine tree per say - but hey, isn't it funny? And no, the Keebler Company does not give me money nor do I have any relations business or familial.


The Giving Tree fused with the
US Patriotic Appeal to Heaven Flag

The Giving Tree was a children's book written by Shel Silverstein in 1964. It is a touching story about giving and what it means to love. Another non-pine tree sitting in, but this is one of the most famous trees in the childhood universe. Makes you wonder will there be anymore famous trees coming up? Hopefully it'll be pine, maybe in the next 20 years. I think we are due.



The Lego Version of the
Pine Tree-Appeal to Heaven Flag


Here Legos pose as the Pine Tree US Revolution flag. So appropriate and matches very well.

A Charlie Brown Christmas 1965

This little poor Christmas Tree chosen by Charlie Brown back in 1965 has echoed across the imagination of American Youth. The word 'Heaven' has been switched with Linuses' favorite word when things go awry, 'Good Grief!'
