I’ve cracked open 83 turtles and not one pearl so far. This sucks.

Japan looks all mad. So does England
Kudos to Brent.
Off-topic, but: does anyone know when and why it became normal to depict the American flag *backwards* on military uniform patches (Blue field on the upper right)?
Oppo,
It should only look backwards on the right arm. The idea is it that it should be as if it’s streaming behind the soldier — think of a flag held in his right hand as he runs forward and how that would look.
Ah.
Thanks — it now makes sense to me!
The Union flag has a top and bottom; the problem is that you have to discern which skinny stripe meets an edge where”
