Is tattered, and has a zero on it, and we will neither fight for nor salute it. Still, it's our flag, and to it will we pledge allegiance, because it stands for our belief in nothing, and the fealty to futility that entails. Oh God, let us believe that everything we believe is probably wrong, and that everything we think we know we don't, and that every act we take is a zero in the universal mathematics of nullity. Give us the strength to weaken, the courage to chicken out, and the conviction to remain forever unconvinced. Let us fall by the wayside, let us doubt, let us throw up our hands in abject surrender. Give us this day, O Lord, and we swear to God we'll do nothing with it.

Yeah, your flag could form an allegiance with mine, which displays big san serif F. I don't really give a shit what colors are used. Some would think the F stands for failure, but it symbolizes the most beautiful (and useful) phrase in the English language: Fuck it! The great nation of Fuck it has never lost a war. Most conquerors are stunned at our brazen nonchalance to their challenge and wary of the disposition.

If possible, I would like to apply for dual citizenship.

Like they say in F-land, "Fuck it or Fuck off!" Our version of "Don't tread on me [asshole] (assumed)"
Come on over. The border is open to all!

I'm feeling patriotic right now for the first time in dacades!

Me too! I'm getting goose bumps! Wait, I think that's the measles.

I can't get no so-called patriotic (rhymes with psychotic) just like I can't get religious (which rhymes with anilingus) which reminds me of open blouse and on and on. So fuck it.

Nice thought -- if you can live with the consequences.
