Mankie...what's up with that sheep? It must be rather lonely there.

Not really, the locals are descendents of the Welsh ;) ... but they do have sheep the size of ships down there!

Is that Lord Stanley's Cup in the center?

Dupek, now you go visit all these countries in order to prepare another thread regarding the flags of each region/department/province/town in each country and surrounding countries as well. No more posts in one year so that you can focus on the assignment.

You're just sore 'cause I referred to Fernando Alonso as "that greasy Spaniard" in the F1 thread.

<img src="http://www.canada.org.uk/visa-info/pix/flag_can.gif" alt=" - " /> what r u gonna do? fight wars in fall so u can drop all your maple leaves on them. yeah that'll teach 'em. perhaps you will appease them with the sweetness of your fine maple syrup? no wonder u guys are all messed up - with your healthy citizens running all aboot, skiing in july, wats a matta wit u? the majority of u live within 100 miles of the US border so u can run to safety when the syrup runs out.
at least our flag we are not that stupid, ours is like the Electric Company of flags "13" states, "50" states. they ought to put the "Count" on there and a sound bite of him counting to 13 in his transylvania accent

Canada needs the Stanley Cup flag.
Or maybe take a cue from Mozambique and put a Kalashnikov AK-47 on the flag:

"Automatic weapons on a flag are especially bad. Appears to have been designed by a committee all of whom had stupid ideas for pictures of extra things to put on the flag."

The 'real' American flag under this administration.

I couldn't care less about Formula 1, really. As for Spain, have never cared too much about it. Now, if you had to ask me with what flag I identify myself with, then it would be this one.

Slap that one on a canvas and they'll hang it at MOMA and proclaim it a priceless piece of art.

ha ha - we were at the Guggenheim in Bilbao this year and while the building is amazing the collection of (mostly) modern art didn't impress me
One 'priceless piece of art' consisted of a massive piece of cardboard stuck to the wall - as I was looking at it an old man came up and touched it - the docent/security guard nearly shit their pants

I have, the best item for me was the Michael Wesely: Open Shutter at The Museum of Modern Art, i dont think it is there anymore http://www.moma.org/exhibitions/2004/index.html (http://www.moma.org/exhibitions/2004/index.html)
but I am not the art afficianado that others may be here, a lot of the artists are the same that are shown here, so I didnt get a lot more out of going to MOMA, and it is expensive

We have. The Lee Friedlander exhibit was most excellent. I think it may be gone by now.

That sheep is so adorable! Yay! :)
If only the Falklands weren't so far away/difficult to get to, I'd love to visit the sheep!

didn't check out any special exhibits, but the new building itself is worth the price of admission ... one of the coolest museum spaces i've ever seen
it's been a few years since i've been to MOMA so i had forgotten what they had in their collection ... pretty decent stuff, but not really revelatory, i liked musee d'orsay much better ... the paintings / sculptures II floor (with the more modern stuff) didn't really grab me, too many straight lines and monochrome canvases
great collection of photographs though, the depression-era alabama sharecroppers series was fantastic
by the way, if you're looking for a fun indie rock scene in manhattan, go to the orchard bar on orchard st (and delancey? can't remember, lower east side) on fridays for "stolen transmission" ... i've been the last couple of times i've been to the city and had a great time
