The competition was (as any fule kno) to suggest a new flag for the People's Sovereign and Surrealist Republic of Cæsura, for when we declare the independence of stately Riddled Manor. This will happen Real Soon Now, as soon as we finish the paperwork -- or consume too many pints of Gleamhound's Sobriety Draught in the course of Pycnogonid Racing Night at the Old Entomologist -- whichever comes first.
As always, the judges were impressed by the creativity of the submissions... if not by their originality. Another Kiwi was sure that he had seen two of the entries previously, and had to retire to the Chaise Longue with a tall glass of gin to steady his nerves.
Shame on you, Mr V. N. Throgmorton! There is no place in the People's Republic for plagiarised flag designs, except
Then Greenish Hugh transcended the quaint tradition for flags to be assembled out of fabric, instead carving one from a piece of pavement that he had torn up from the back alley while searching for the beach. HA HA it is a flagstone.
Novel media and stone-based artistic practice are all very well but the entry is not easy to hoist, and the flagpole bends alarmingly when you do, so I think we will not be adopting Hugh's design.
"A flag-ship works perfectly," said Space-Time Eddy; "You just need a thicker flagpole."
But does it flutter in the breeze? DOES IT BOG-ROLL.
At this point the attention of the judging committee began to flag (as it were) and we turned to more interesting concerns, like choosing a form of motorised armour to equip the People's Republic Defensive Forces. We settled on fish-tanks.

Don't forget to keep plenty of fish on hand.

Speaking of fish, is it too late for submissions?
I sure hope you have invested in a "Lord Humungus" mask if you will be a head of state!
I wear no mask.
Are fish-tanks like fish-cars? You know: the large, squarish vehicle, with a fish symbol on the rear bumper, driven (by a bloke in a hat) at 60kmh in the overtaking lane of a motorway - only with Faith and a 120mm gun to defend themselves from reckless militant atheists wishing to overtake.
I bet only Abudefduf saxatilis drive fish tanks.
Kiss me goodnight Abudefduf saxatilis?
...or are Abudefduf saxatilis Doof warriors?
