Got a new flag for the house.

We moved here around 8 or 9 years ago and took down the tattered flag in the flag holder then. We figured it was about time we replaced it.

Then suddenly, the house across the street starts flying this:
- Holy shit. Could you imagine that actually happening? If I put up a federation flag and my neighbor put up a Klingon in response, I think I just found my new best friend
  
  I don't think that that would be a good idea, most people would assume them to be a nazi lol
  
  I've been out of the Star Trek loop for so long, but I thought the Federation is currently at peace with the Klingon? I think they're still at war with the Romulan, isn't it?
- As long as it's not a Cardassian flag.
  Bloody Cardis.
  
  They put a sign in the yard that says "Vote YES on prop C"
  (A statue of Gul Dukat in front of a federal building.)
- I have stumbled here with no context, but I know these are the ~~nazis~~ bad guys
We already know what you look like man. Like an albino Klingon.
Can’t believe you blurred out that glorious beard.
Here's hoping next door join in with the flag of the Klingon Empire
- And another neighbor with a mysteriously empty flag holding bracket.
  
  Menacingly!
Congratulations!
May I ask if you retired the old flag properly?
- If you mean according to flag code, no. But there was like half a flag there. It think the wind retired it a long time ago. It was a rag.
  
  True, understood.
  As far as I'm aware, the proper way is to burn the old flag. It should never touch the ground though.
  I'm not an expert nor a nitpicker on this matter though, but congrats on the new flag!
I have the same flag on my wall. Be warned though you're probably gonna have to replace it in a year or two, especially if you've got high winds. It's not reinforced for outdoor use so it will probably get thready.
That being said it looks great and I wanna put mine out in front of my house too now dammit
- Hmm. It doesn't do good in atmospheric wind. But would it theoretically be fine attached to a space ship traveling at warp speed?
- Eh, it cost like $10. Replacing it just means another round of ironing. We're good with that.
I don't want to sound racist but... I don't see neither of you flying or being a squid 🤔
Nice idea though!
Ha! That's awesome
To boldly urbanize, where others have urbanized before /s Sweet flag!
Haha nice!
"Well, give your ID card to the border guard..."
This is super dope!
