Popular Post Mr. Silly Posted September 22, 2020 Popular Post Share #1 Posted September 22, 2020 On one of the routes Lucy and I take on our walk, we pass a house that displays international flags with a little sign saying where it is from. He changes them out once a week or so and Lucy and I enjoy seeing all the flags of the world. He was out in his yard today when we walked past. I took the opportunity to let him know how much I enjoy his flags. Apparently vexillophiles are an enthusiastic bunch because my friendly little comment opened a can of worms. He started telling all about the flag he had displayed today (Bavaria). Apparently Bavaria has two flags that are of equal stature. One has horizontal strips and the other has a diamond pattern. It is fairly common to see the diamond patterned flag with a coat of arm on it which is illegal but the law isn't enforced. I thanked him for all the incredibly useful information and was ready to move on with our walk. I made the mistake though of saying that I thought the Easter Island flag he displayed a couple weeks ago was pretty cool. Did you know the Easter Island flag is quite rare? It displays some necklace plate that was worn by the inhabitants. The bright red is a symbol of power. He continued by I quit paying attention. I just smiled politely as he continued on about the Easter Island flag. When he was done, I thanked him for his time and his flags and Lucy and I finished our walk. The end. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was Cleveland founded by the French? I guess I could ask my local vexillophile. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I could ask my local vexillophile. Only if you set aside an hour or so. I used to have a cow-orker like that. I could never call him unless I had an hour minimum to spare.

It is the Paris of Ohio, after all! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
