    really! flags? what flags? we don't need no stinking flags!

    i'd like to fly my own lananaran flag though
    been meaning to make one
    just never seem to remember to get arround to it

    i went to a place that said they made custom flags
    one time and asked for an estimate
    they told me it would cost $200.00 bux
    for the same size as an off the shelf
    u.s. flag that they sold for like $15.oo or $20.oo


    i didn't exactly tell them what they could kiss
    but you can bet i never went back

    yea, the flags are still at half mast around here. i guess they could raise it to full mast now, but it doesn't bother me that much right now.

    The order is only for federal and military buildings/property, "dumbass".
    Actually today I noticed that some people put theirs back up, it's about time. You're supposed to lower the flag w/any president's death, but if I had a flag I'd probably only lower it for one day if I didn't like the president.

    I think the reason the flags are still at half-mast is because of the contractor who was beheaded in Iraq on Friday.
