Behind the Awkwardness: The Patriot

My grandfather is the star of many awkward family photos. Here, he poses pantsless, with a pair of kettlebells, artistically composed at his feet to highlight his lack of pants and booty short spandex. The  flag in the background pretty much says it all: this is AMERICA.”

    Oh Hannah — you just made my entire day with your pantless grandfather and his kettleballs. This Thanksgiving, I’m giving thanks to you.

  12. JVinKC says:

    Actually no, the stars belong at the top left no matter how the flag is hanging.

    • WI_DJ says:

      1. When hanging the American flag on a building it should be hung on a staff or on a rope over the sidewalk with the stars away from the building.
      2. If the flag is hung over the street, it should be hung with the stars to the east on a north- south street or north on an east-west street.
      3. A flag that is hung in a window should be hung vertically with the stars to the left of anyone looking at it from the street side.
