We have a coat of arms for every small village, but not always a special flag.

Well, you print the coat of arms on a piece of cloth, you have a flag... Not much difference, is there?

Nope, totally the same.

TIL the city I live in has a flag in the colors of the Holy Roman Empire.

Indeed.

Meanwhile, today's C208 tour with FSX+FS Economy. Look at the logo in the top left. The other patches have also been there:

Yes, but still we won't get the flags for our German states. Really annoying. My state is even bigger than Rhode Island!

My home state is bigger than France.

Erm... in Switzerland, every single village has its own flag.

Yeah... And once the very small one that hosted our company forgot to give us its flag to display with the Cantonal and Federal one above our bunker.

After three days we had a serious issue of flag deprivation. So we hoisted the Confederate Flag, to the sound of "Dixieland".:lol:

Less than 36 hours later we had the town's flag. We had to take down the Confederate Flag, all the while listening to Ray Charles singing "Georgia on my mind". Hard to keep one's eyes dry.:thumbup:

The company commander afterwards had a nice little chat with us NCO (guess who had the idea) and kindly asked us never to do that again. We replied "of course, you cannot pull the same stunt twice. Next time..." and we proudly showed him the Jolly Roger.

Eh, same here.

Regional flag:

Also my town has a coat of arms, just a couple of years old.

 

[PhantomCruiser]

Here's a National Flag that few (even around here) know about.

Well, Payerne is too well organised for flag deprivation, I guess... The only thing I remember is the poor sod that admitted to playing the trumpet, and who was then ordered to get out of bed early every morning to toot his horn while raising the flag... :shifty:

Saw that movie with my daughter last week (her 2nd time seeing it, my first). She loves the music from it.

In fact, we're listening to the soundtrack as I type this. On our third time through this morning...

Frozen "In Summer" song -- Official | HD - YouTube

Does she listen to that every morning? :uhh:

 

[n122vu]

Yes, but 5 out of 7 mornings she's with her mother.

I don't think I could handle it 7 days a week. :suicide:

 

[Ghostrider]

Could you handle this?

In honor of the slaughter competitive Super Bowl outing this year, I've edited some song lyrics

(Originally Sabaton's 'Killing Ground' from the wonderful album 'Carolus Rex')


Frozen ground
Ride with the wind
Emerge from the gunsmoke like demons
Rehnskiöld's Pete Carroll's men
Charging their flanks Endzone
The enemy trembles with fear

One by one the Saxons Broncos disband
Or die where they stand

Killing ground
Even though you surrender
Turn around
You will never survive score
Killing ground
As the battle of Fraustadt The Super Bowl turns

Fall in line
Battle Nickel formations
Show no fear
Riding them down
Break their will
Show them no mercy
Caroleans Seahawks attack

Round them up look into their eyes
They beg for their lives

Killing ground
Even though you surrender
Turn around
You will never survive score
Killing ground
As the battle of Fraustadt The Super Bowl turns

See the Caroleans Seahawks standing tall
All for one and one for all
Enemies fall at their feet
Begging for their mercy
See the Caroleans Seahawks standing tall
Conquer lands and slaughter all
Enemies fall at their feet
Victory and great defeat

One by one the Saxons Broncos disband
Or die where they stand

Killing ground
Even though you surrender
Turn around
You will never survive score
Killing ground
As the battle of Fraustadt The Super Bowl turns

Anybody mind explaining how a kindergarten-league football team got to the Superbowl?

I think the Defense took the day off.

 

[Linguofreak]

What really cheeses me off is that this is the one sports event I generally watch in any given year. If my home team is in it, I expect them to know what sport they're playing.

Seeing them set 3 or 4 really embarrassing records, including one that would be incredibly impressive in any other context (quickest score in Superbowl history, if only they hadn't scored on themselves) cannot be described in words fit for polite company.

The worst part of it all is that I'll now have to start actually following football so that I know who all is actually on the Broncos' lineup, so that I can stop rooting for them until they've all been replaced.

 

[MattBaker]

Whoever was like "Oh, Broncos are the favorites by the bookmakers, let's just make some money out of that stuff!" had a really bad day...

 

[Linguofreak]

I will await Superbowl XLVIII next year.

(Yes, you read that right).
