For civility's sake, let's change "Don't Tread on Me"... Part 2.

Chip Ahoy responds to my request for a redesigned Gadsden flag:

"OH HAI" is an instant classic. ;)

I hope chip has the copyright worked out.

This could be the next 'Althouse studying' image, as it takes over the tubes.

Especially, keep your eye on Shepard Fairey.

Instant classics, when opporunity and talent meet.

When will the "Mind the Ophedia" bumper stickers be available? I want twelve!

Eric বলেছেন...

Thanks for giving me an idea.

Deb বলেছেন...

Bumper stickers, T-shirts: Cafe Press!

wv: trogith. Ye shall trogith in the fields until thy trog no more.

Don't Tread on Me Bob!

Just very normal, non-partisan, fiscally concerned, average citizens worried about spending levels.

Phil 314 বলেছেন...

Please clue me in and explain the first two.

I see Althouse just won't let that post through. Treading.

pst314 বলেছেন...

Shouldn't the snake's rattles be replaced with a white flag?

MadisonMan বলেছেন...

Phil Pi: To understand Oh Hai, you have to appreciated the lolcats website.

Unknown বলেছেন...

I was wondering if those were Chip's or just a link to someone else's work.

Nicely done.

traditionalguy বলেছেন...

The first one wins. The removal of the fangs is the key. After that, rattle all you want.

Birkel বলেছেন...

I know everybody is a critic and all that. Yet I must point out that last one might miss the point of Althouse's exercise.

Birkel বলেছেন...

I forgot my /sarcasm tag. Whoops.

Paul Brinkley বলেছেন...

The "OH HAI" one needs to be on every howitzer in the US arsenal.

Toad Trend বলেছেন...

Dear Sir/Madam,

For civility's sake, lets just leave the flag as it is.

Thank you.

Regards,

Don't Tread

MadMan;
Thanks.

And I'd love so say this is the reason I didn't get the second one but anyway...

it's Ophidia

Tari বলেছেন...

We're having an epidemic of break-ins in our neighborhood (4 this week alone) - I think I'm putting the last one on my front door. That way they'll know what's about to happen to them if they kick the door in...

jungatheart বলেছেন...

lol I vote for number four.

Lem Vibe Bandit বলেছেন...

Isn't it interesting how a white flag has no labels?

Chip Ahoy বলেছেন...

Phil, yes of course you are right. Here, go ahead and borrow my tags.

It is the snake doing the talking and it's understood snakes have no respect for proper spelling. The snake is warning about stepping in accordance with the newest attempt at controlling language and being nice about it. Foot=ped. The snake felt it necessary to retain the 'h'. Plus they're terrible with aspirated bilabial plosives.

The last flag is intentionally different. It's showing what a Gadsden would look like if the charges already leveled against Palin, Beck, Tea Partiers, ets. were anything other than desperate.

Phil 314 বলেছেন...

I hope you all realize that the Gadsen flag is against God's will:

So the LORD God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this,

“Cursed are you above all livestock
and all wild animals!
You will crawl on your belly
and you will eat dust
all the days of your life.
And I will put enmity
between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and hers;
he will crush your head,
and you will strike his heel
.”

Genesis 3:14-15

So why all the anti-Judeo-Christian hate around here!

(this is some sort of Satan worship thing isn't it.)

It needs tiny Sarah Palin glasses and a wig. ;)

My favorite, BTW, is the third. The implied threat masked with a disarming smile.

Very funny. Good job.

traditionalguy বলেছেন...

This will teach Palin and her Tea Partiers...burning the Reichstag is never permitted.

@Phil 3:14

Alert the media, pond scum can type!

BJM;
I'm not sure I understand your reply but hopefully your sarcasm-o-meter was working as you read my previous post.
