The other day while I was looking at the ol’ Star Spangled Banner I thought to myself, it’s also spangled with stripes, so why isn’t it called the Stripe Spangled Banner? And then I thought, why do we ever call it the Flag, which is the most boring term of all for the national symbol? So, here is a list of nicknames I’ve adopted for the red, white and blue. Happy Independence Day, everybody!
- The Forever Symbol
- Broadstripe & Brightstar’s Excellent Adventure
- Community Cloth
- The White Represents Sarah Palin and the Red Represents Michael Moore and the Blue Field is All the Rest Of Us Waiting for Them to Shut Up
- Old Glory, Recent Shame
- Suck it, Yellow, You Symbolizer of Stupid Stuff
- Navajo Nation (NOT! HAHAHA!!)
- Betsywear
- Francis ScottTowel
