Help with Cubs W Flag

I just ordered a Cubs W flag and I'm pretty sure I was sent a defective flag. Im not sure if it is, but my W is not centered and it is also italicized.. Can someone confirm to me that I have a faulty flag?

My dorm room.

I go to the University of Iowa. And those things on the left are actually little packages that condoms come in that they pass out all the time. They are kind of like the old packages that matches would come in. My roommate and a bunch of kids on my floor got a ton of them one day and stapled like 200 of them to our buliten board. The actual condoms are now taped and make a frame for the mirror.
And the tickets are the three remaining home basketball tickets.

by Lweb23 on Feb 9, 2010 3:20 PM CST up reply actions  

I knew it!!!

I was going to suggest they were condoms but didn’t want to go there. Sounds like classic dorm room decor.

Speaking of W Flag,

did anyone see the W Flag at the Colts AFC Championship Game?

by Lweb23 on Feb 9, 2010 12:55 PM CST reply actions  

It's been there most of the year.

And as a Colts fan, I don’t really like the mixing of the two – it’s a Cubs tradition, not a Colts tradition.

its a misprint, big difference

I think it's a knock-off.

In other words, made by a company that does not have the right to produce an “official” W flag, so they made one that looks similar.

Definitely defective.

I honestly don’t think about Silva all that much. I’m still just relieved the Cubs didn’t wind up on the hook for Milton’s salary.

Nice

Guy I play softball with did this last month while crossing home plate. Still not sure how, but the x-ray looks VERY similar… break is a bit lower.

That kind of break is pretty obvious. And gruesomely loud.

total to my back?

torn lumbar
born with slight case of Scoliosis
pinched the nerves in my back and neck
two herniated discs
no curve left in my back or neck (i am as straight as an arrow, which is not good lol)

I do spinal decompression monthly, and most these injuries came playing sports, i was a rough child and beat the hell out of my body and still am rough but smarter about it.
