I know what you meant by “state flag” but I want to be cheeky, so here goes:

We didn’t pledge to a state flag but the federal flag. But the state of Maryland has a fabulous flag, and I’m still devoted to its design all these years later.

For whatever reason, in the 70s, in Maryland, I only recall pledging allegiance in the morning at the start of school during first grade. I don’t think we did it past second grade. In any case, I took the opportunity to insert curse words. I would say it like, “I pledge allegiance to the shit, and to the asshole for which it shits.” I didn’t lower my voice either. I just figured that I would never be noticed. Thinking back, I am surmising that my teacher must have noticed at least once but just ignored it.

Is the character in the right saying the white-lettered words?

Oh, man. Vendors of OCR software can make big money now by rebranding as “AI-powered”.

I’m sorry for violating your criteria, but…

6th grade, gym class, we are all doing this new thing called “aerobics” and that hot new song on the radio is playing. The song with the chorus “My angel is a centerfold”.

Then again, that’s the year we had sex-ed, so we kids knew that adults sexually lusted after each other, so … 🤷

So interesting that you mentioned this film because when it was new to the rental market I watched it, and it was around this time that Mel had weird bigoted events in the news. I was indifferent and mostly ignorant of exactly what he did, and even so, I was skeptical and doubtful as well.

However, we liked Apocalypto so much that we started rewatching it with the director’s commentary. Mel was such a fucking ass that he ruined our enjoyment of the movie. He was incredibly disrespectful of the actors in the commentary. He was not so much disparaging of them, but he effectively communicated how unimportant they were to him and how they were nothing more than disposable objects to him.

Then I recalled those vague bad things I had heard about him in the press, and I thought, “Hmmm. Maybe this guy is a vile piece of shit.”

On the other hand, disturbed fuckheads can make great art. There might be good reason that in the old days, artists were kept on a leash by wealthy families.

I stopped reading this comic back in the mid 00s because they didn’t read the Wikipedia editing guidelines, and they got scolded when they edited things incorrectly, so they tried turning their audience into getting revenge on Wikipedia somehow.

Not sure about now, but in the 80s, from 7th to 12th grade for me, I attended a federally funded USA school, and our average student tested in the top quartile of state funded schools nationwide.

Somewhere in Malibu, sunset:

Man: Honey, the Halloween decorations on the front lawn are missing!

Woman: Did you check out back? It was really windy this afternoon.
