[antir-heralds] OED Period spellins for red and greene

[Suzanne Jacquest]

LOLOLOL!!! 
  
  Red and Green?
  
  As in the Communists and our Green Party??!!
  
  Oh you MUST try and rent a movie called Canadian Bacon.... a comedy  about America going into depression because the war machine slowed down  after the Cold War ended... All about the American Gov't trying to use  the media to start a cold war with Canada... good quote.... "like maple  syrop, the evil of Canada oozes into our great country". Total  conspiracy theory comedy. Some fantastic America vs Canadian cultural  jokes.
  
  Michael Moore made the movie back in 1995. Loooong before 2001.
  
  Sorry, this has nothing to do with heraldry.
  
  Red and Green indeed.... chuckle.....

Oh,  and for what it's worth, when thinking about heraldic postures, a deer  can be lodged - it's a heraldic posture term used for deer when they  are couchant. It's only used fordeer. So, an opossum cannot be lodged.
