I've been pondering the need for a halfbakery flag, to go with our halfbakery song and other official half-bakery representation.
Ideas I've come up with so far:
1. An empty pole that we could salute to, just to make 'em wonder.
2. A fish/croissant symbol, like the yin/yang thing, sewn
in the shape of a mobius strip.
3. A flag with the picture of a flagpole on it.
4. A paint-by number version of a 3-bar flag, unfinished.
Of course, one end of the flag would be self-igniting, while the other would be a 'slow-burning flag,' or perhaps fireproofed by dipping it in custard.

(???) A possible alternative to item 2's yin-yang flag
http://half_crazy.t...m/plush.htm#yinyang It's not a mobius strip, but 'bakers can't be choosers. [half, Oct 05 2004, last modified Oct 21 2004]

The flag should have a picture of an entire croissant. Then rip the flag in half. |
|
|
I can feel myself flagging by the minute. Are we taking over the world or just going for self-government here. |
|
|
Only to half-staff, though. |
|
|
and tied with a half-hitch |
|
|
Outstanding idea [RayfordSteele]! |
|
|
I would prefer a Halfbakery Flagon, to toast the flag with. |
|
|
White flag. Croissant in the middle. Slogan below: "Don't Bake On Me" |
|
|
lowered to half-staff today. |
|
|
How bout the skull and fishbones? With a nice custard background. |
|
|
The Jolly -halfbaking- Roger ! |
|
|
always flown at half mast? |
|
|
i like the empty pole. Patriotic to pointlessness. |
|
|
If there is a slogan, it should be written in custard, on electronic fabric that uses galvanic skin responses to read the viewers mind, and then, with a sound effect from a film, produces a completely random slogan. |
|
|
Maybe there should be more than one flag? But they should be all torn in half. |
|
|
//Veni, Vidi, Lunati?// - "We came, we saw, we mooned them"? |
|
|
The HB Croissant and Fishbone have been yinyanged before. See link. |
|
|
I had the wrong date for 'Flag Day'- but let the HB flag fly everyday. |
|
|
I think that the flag should be a granite statue of a flag pole, realistically painted to look like the genuine thing. The flag should be depicted 'at rest'. It will never, ever flutter no matter how stiff the breeze. This has two advantages:-
1) We don't actually have to have a design on the flag.
2) Passers-by will be forever wondering what the design on the flag is. |
|
|
How about a transparent flag? It could be microprismatic so that it shines a croissant rainbow when it rains. |
|
|
Or a fresnel lens flag that occasionally burns distant objects as it flutters in the breeze. |
|
|
It has a croissant in its design but you have to wear special glasses to see it. To everyone else it looks like a normal country flag. |
|
|
The flag should be reinforced with
concealed bimetallic strips, and mounted
rigidly in such a way as to point upwind.
With luck, temperature fluctuations would
cause the flag to wave gently, but against
rather than with the prevailing breeze. |
