Otherwise, thank you for playing. Biff has some nice parting gifts for you. I believe among today's gifts are a nice Liberal Tears insulated mug, and a Snark Kazoo.
Does it really matter where i find flags???
The bottom line is, holidays have flags, there just seems to be an issue with this one. Guess it should have been expected.
Not if they're official flags, no, because they're going to look the same no matter where you find them.
No, they don't. We only have one federal holiday that, for some unexplained reason, warrants its own flag.
Yeah, there is an issue with this one. Why does this new federal holiday, that 5 years ago 81% of people outside of Texas had never heard of (according to PBS and Gallup), be the single federal holiday with an official flag? What makes this federal holiday so special, as opposed to, say, Independence Day, or Thanksgiving?
