Listen up, friends, 'cause I'll tell you a story of oulipo-social and fuckable flags. It's a riff on a tweet that was posted by dril on a beautiful Monday in 2012: There's this guy who does work at a US museum on history (mostly the star-spangled flag). So a visitor walks up to dril and is asking if fucking the flag is a thing he may do? And the worker says, buddy, you ask me in vain, because not even I am allowed near the flag!

Now, what oulipo does is an age-old tradition: to latch on to mentions of fucking, or flags, or of anything roughly related to these, and to helpfully answer the single word, "buddy,"

It's not really clear to me why that's hilarious, but I'm prepared to just go with the flag. Wait, I'm sorry, I wanted to say that I'm happy to go with the flow of this flag-fucking meme.
