This is broken.

Count the stars. That and the fact that a recruiter donning camo fatigues wrote down my vehicle's license plates for taking that picture.

1. I don't know.

If some OCD weirdo was taking pictures of my storefront, I might write down his number too.

6. OCD?

You think I have OCD? That's strange. Why? Also, it's not HIS store front, it's the taxpayer's.

8. Because you're counting stars in signs that are abstractions of u.s. flags.

And then posting about it on the internet.

10. I will admit it is kind of my genre.

One thing I like to do is find and take weird pictures of the American flag. This just happened to be in the parking lot of the comic book store I went to today and I probably wouldn't have posted had the recruiter guy not been a real prick. Hey, I have a cool juxtaposition of an emergency vehicle that says REMEMBER 9/11 in front of a trash can that is completely overflowing with garbage too, if you want to see that.

:hi:

2. Maybe he just wants your phone number.

3. If you can count the stars,

you are not in their target demographic.

4. I can't count the stars..

my eyes go all kafflooey...

[dysfunctional press]

5. the flag is supposed to look like it's wind-blown...

so all of the stars might not be visible- as if they were hidden by folds in the cloth from the wind.

[arcadian]

7. Wind blown metal and plastic.

n/t

[dysfunctional press]

11. no- winblown cloth, as portrayed in metal and plastic.

the concept of "art" is kind of lost on you, huh? :shrug:

9. You can also get a career killing people if you join the Mafia.

12. If you're really worried about them writing down ...

... your plate number, make sure you have that camera ready at all times.

14. Just got a visit from the county mounties.

8:00 pm this evening. Local county sheriff's department. Two squad cars. Didn't take pictures of them though. Didn't feel like dragging this out. They asked who I was etc. I have nothing to hide. They were "cool" and thought the whole thing was bullshit, or so they said in so many words. Makin' sure I'm not a terrist. I told them I was taking pictures in broad daylight out in the open, if I had wanted to do it clandestinely, I would have just gone there on a Sunday morning when nobody was there. Whatever. I'm not new to intimidation tactics. The funny thing is, after all the things I have photographed, they chose this to actually come and knock on my door. A fucking armed forces recruiters office in a strip mall.

13. I'd call that flag desicration. Since it's a soiled flag, then, they should burn it. No... wait...

Oh, I can't figure out what's a protocol and what's a hate speech anymore. :banghead:
