I got my flag lapel pin!

And it was made in the US! :woohoo:

All right, so it was made 32 years ago...

1. What's the deal with flag lapel pins?

Seriously. I really don't get that whole thing.

2. Started around 9-11.

Then Hannity at Faux made a racket about those HE doesn't like not wearing one.
Especially "the democrat party" and Obama.

5. Ridiculous.

3. Damn, if that's not a blast from the past . . ..

eBay?

[Archae]

4. Garage sale.

5 cents.

I was 16 that year, and the hucksters were driving me nuts, with the Bicentennial crap.

6. five cents? may be worth just that in dollars, but you've got

a nostalgic gem.

Yes, I remember, too. I was thirteen and everything was "76" -- like Bass-O-Matic 76... ;)

7. The two worst offenders...

I remember from the Bicentennial:

1. A snack food advertized on TV that had the product flanked by two Revolutionary War drummers, and the jingle said "Has French fried flavor, and Yankee Doodle crunch"

2. A radio ad for pies, that had a "Pie-Centennial."

:grr:

9. Dr. Demento had the 'Buffalotennial'

On July 4th, 1976, I went fishing. :-)
