My guess was the fact that you alluded that the flag got handed off. The term handed off can also be connected to the act of masturbation, wether it be someone performing the act on himself or herself, or having it done for them by a close friend, or clergy member, or relative, or total stranger.

Thank you for the explanation. Guess I'd better stop using that once-innocent phrase now, as well as "hooking up" which has also inadvertently gotten me into trouble in recent years.

it was just going to be some jokes about where the flag was or what it was doing. crowd can be tough here so i just went straight up.

You have no idea how hard it was to phrase my post about Denver Man having the flag pole after the above discussion. I must have rewritten a normally simple post about 30 times trying to avoid potential double entendres with that one!!

OK. Sunshine Sue has the flag.

The FF67 caravan carried it from KC to Golden.

We saw Sue, Chester, stranger in Boulder and I b sublime last night.. Sue is already having fun, so we figured what could add to that, and passed the flag to her.

We hope she has a blast getting pics with everyone, and we know she will.

we handed off the flag to little bear who will bring it to seattle and from there he's on the arrow.

In my little tiny opinion it would be nice to share the flag more and let other people hold onto it for a weekend. Let some other people coordinate the meet up for once. It's the same people over and over.

that's sort of true denver man. thing is, nobody is up here volunteering to do it though. not many folks want to deal with it for longer than a few minutes. it's an open thing if someone wants to carry the flag they can. if they don't ask or say something then it's kind of assumed whoever has it is still responsible for it. we asked 20 people from the board if they could take it to seattle before we asked little bear. i didn't see anybody saying "hey, i'd love to take the flag from red rocks to seattle" and i don't see anybody saying that for any other shows either.

You were my first choice. Have fun!

I was specifically talking about RR.

I've been trying to think of what I could say about this past weekend, and I'm really glad I saw you Denver Man.
But, I guess we have to either have several flags, or retire the one we have. Understand, neither of those options
is my choice. But, with only one flag, the reality is, some folks aren't going to see it. I carried the flag for the first
time this weekend, and was honored. But the last thing we need, is for it to cause a division in our group. I hope
we can get past this. It was a magical weekend, and it worked out so well. I would hate to think anyone came
away from this weekend with any bad feelings about the group.
Lots of good vibes for you and your wife DM. Thank you so much for your efforts. I know you were busy.
