Yer wish is my command, plus some... :old:



I was going to object on the grounds that flying the American flag upside down is a signal of distress. Then I thought about the state of the country and I said to myself, I said "..."

As an alternative, how about taking the original version, and editing in a Betsy Ross flag on a short pole, held in Pepe's hand? The BR flag could be on an angle and kind of cover the intersection of the four main panels.

Perhaps there are so many we should be making a quilt instead of a flag?

In that case, you need to start thinking in acres.

"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben

Dunno, I used Photoshop to make mine using Layers and starting out with a BIG image. The saved jpg is 1024 wide and that is about half the psd file size and I resize it to 640 wide here.

Capitalism finds a way

Quote
Nike’s Betsy Ross-era flag sneakers are selling online for as much as $2.5K after woke football “star” Colin Kaepernick’s criticism led the company to recall them.

The Nike Air Max 1 USA shoe sold for $1,000 or more on resale marketplace StockX after news of Nike’s decision went public. A size 8 pair sold for $2,500.

Prices started to reach $3,000 before the company took the shoe off the site. StockX CEO Scott Cutler decided to end the sale of the sneakers because they did not "align" with the company’s values.

The shoes have a retail value of $120.

Nike said in a statement that “it pulled the shoe based on concerns that it could unintentionally offend and detract from the nation's patriotic holiday.”

I'm thinking that pulling the shoe is  detracting 1000x more than if they would have just told kaperdoodle to jump in the lake.

Ted Cruz gives Kapperdoodle a schooling.

Quote
“I, therefore, leave off where I began, with hope. While drawing encouragement from ‘the Declaration of Independence,’ the great principles it contains, and the genius of American Institutions, my spirit is also cheered by the obvious tendencies of the age.”

Kaepernick posted a partial Fredrick Douglas quote about America being the worst country on Earth. Cruz posted the quote in full context to include the above. Seems like Fredrick Douglas would have approved of the shoe. :)

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

It was actually the whole site. Looks like they they may have been hit with a ddos attack, as when I checked back in,  I got the "ddos check" page before it sent me to the site.
