Thoughts on this flag (Czech / Slovakia / USA hybrid)?

Classic Tiramisu
Ingredients
6 egg yolks
1 1/4 cups white sugar
1 1/4 cups mascarpone cheese
1 3/4 cups heavy whipping cream
2 (12 ounce) packages ladyfingers
1/3 cup coffee flavored liqueur

1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
1 (1 ounce) square semisweet chocolate
Directions
1.Combine egg yolks and sugar in the top of a double boiler, over boiling water. Reduce heat to low, and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and whip yolks until thick and lemon colored.
2.Add mascarpone to whipped yolks. Beat until combined. In a separate bowl, whip cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold into yolk mixture and set aside.
3.Split the lady fingers in half, and line the bottom and sides of a large glass bowl. Brush with coffee liqueur. Spoon half of the cream filling over the lady fingers. Repeat ladyfingers, coffee liqueur and filling layers. Garnish with cocoa and chocolate curls. Refrigerate several hours or overnight.
4.To make the chocolate curls, use a vegetable peeler and run it down the edge of the chocolate bar.

Enjoy!

Draggar, create some special flag for us: wolfdog people on all World.
This Flag can be for all US, Evropian and Asian people. We can use it on our www.
Good idea?

Amazingly subtile and correct

Draggar, you should understand, that these kinds of "games" with flags still might look insulting for some people. Maybe this could suit for some community of Czech and Slovak people in USA, but maybe not for a dog breed

Oddly the most negative reception has been from people in the USA (where people tend to modify the flag more than anywhere else). I'm seriously considering scraping this project.

But - I still like the graphic with the 3 flags side by side. I think that still sends the same message (just in a larger graphic).

Does anyone have a "sketch" of a CsV I could use for this?

Well "draggar" , this is a little difficult question to answer ...

May be you can use a photo of a Csv (from side- view) and put the stars and stripes flag around the belly , the Czech flag round the head and shoulders and the Slovakian `around the tail ??

Or the other way round ? (Certainly i don`t want to offend the people from Slovakia!)

But ok - that´s only my strange kind of humour...

Best regards , Silvester

Hey Draggar, what do you think about the original Czechoslovak Flag next to ours (maybe crossed on poles w/ ripples in each)? If you think this is a no-go, tell me.. If you think I should toss around some ideas, tell me this too. I am an artist, and I understand some of these people being uncomfortable with the present flags. So, since the breed was developed back in the 1950s, I feel there is a certain level of appropriateness to using the flag of that era. Email me!.. Jason

The Czech Republic took the old Czechoslovakian flag - that might send the wrong message to Slovakia (who has "guardianship" over the breed standard). If it's flags, it should be all 3 (like the one I still have in this thread).

Silvester - I think the US should be around the *ahem* tail end.
