is your state flag guilty?

probably:

The Tennessee Legislature adopted the current flag in 1905. In a 2013 article, vexillologist Steven A Knowlton argues that "the Tennessee flag has pragmatic unity with the Confederate flag: both share the element of white stars inside a fimbriated blue charge, and the element of that blue charge on a red field." He also notes a resemblance between the flag's vertical bars and the vertical bar of the third national flag of the Confederacy.

But he concludes that one interesting aspect of the Tennessee flag is plausible deniability: "it is reasonable to say a logo is only expressing Tennessee pride, even if deeper symbolic recognition does link it to Confederate imagery."

thx markie!!!!!!!!!!!

im very sorry for what i did

yesterday during the inclement weather in nashville melissa asked her roommate to move isabella inside and shut her in the bedroom so she wouldnt get dorothy'd by a tornado. when melissa finally made it home to cuddle and play with izzy, she found that the pup had left a poop for her next to the door. not only was there a poop, but izzy had stolen a square of toilet paper that melissa had used to wipe off makeup out of the trash bin and placed it on top of the poop. because she was still afraid she hadnt cleaned up enough, izzy had also grabbed one sock out of a tennis shoe in the closet and put that on top of the toilet paper poop pile. poor thing didnt have the thumbs necessary to take care of the job.

kylie's good luck streak of 2010 continues!!

did you guys get my email last night about some exciting new business opportunities?!?!?! if you would just send on over your money, "you would get a lot of unforseen harvests". isn't that just how i talk?

anyway, obvi something bad happened to my gmail. i did some quick research and learned that i got 'spoofed'!

When a server sends an email message, it specifies the sender, but this sender field can be forged. If there is a problem with delivery and someone forged your address on the message, then the message will be returned to you, even if you weren't the actual sender.

so, in addition to everyone i've ever gmailed getting a cute message regarding gold hours, autocars, and the like, i got 147 bounce-back emails from all the addresses that don't exist anymore (i'm looking at you, jmelton@utk.edu). i guess what i'm trying to say is, you're welcome.

also, guess what i got this week....

J-DOOTZ!!!!!! (that's jury duty). wink!

i'm actually a little excited about this. i've never been invited before! i can't wait to lock someone up and throw away the key.
