Happy Independence Day to Dave Leip

[Mr. Morden]

Hey everyone-

I know I have been dismissive of this forum recently, as I've largely migrated over to AAD.  I even called Dave an HP a few weeks ago:

I just wanted to say that while I'll never forgive Dave for banning opebo, and I have a lot of problems with how the forum is run, I am still grateful to Dave for what he made for us here.  I am going to take today, at least, to appreciate the few good things this forum still has…like the up to the second 2016 polls posted on the polling board by guys like Mr. Morden and Tender Branson (lol, do they ever sleep?), who often get it there even ahead of RCP.  I'll try not to think about all the good posters that used to be here, but have drifted away (like Vander Blubb).

It's possible that as early as tomorrow, I might start crapping on Dave's efforts again.  But don't listen to that, it's not really me.  Listen to me here, today, when I say, thanks for everything Dave, and Happy Independence Day.

That flag is just awesome Eraserhead. You should copyright it.

I stole the flag from this climactic episode of "Hobo Orgy Guy and Blondie":

in which (highlight the following text to reveal the spoiler of how it comes into the plot): Dave Leip and friends put the flag online on uselectionatlas.org as a signal to President Naso that Salt Lake City is no longer controlled by terrorists, so that Naso won't launch a nuclear attack on the city.
