History for Dummies:  Coats of Arms

8/5/2017

I've been reading up on Coats of Arms.  You never know-- this could be a Jeopardy question.  Here are my notes:
 
Armenia:  An eagle and a lion, supporting a shield
Brazil:  A coffee plant and a tobacco plant, supporting a shield
Latvia: A lion and a griffin standing on a pile of oak leaves, supporting a shield
Monaco:  Two identical twin brunette monks brandishing swords at each other, supporting a shield
Spain:  A crown levitating above two columns, supporting a shield depicting a lion, a castle, two mini shields and a pomegranate
Isle of Man:  A raven and a falcon, supporting a shield depicting a three-legged man with no torso, running clockwise
Brazil:  An alligator levitating above a topless woman in a cheerleading skirt carrying two pineapples and a surfer dude in striped Hot Dog on a Stick bloomers, supporting a shield
Scotland:  A blue-tongued lion sitting on a crown sitting on a piece of armor sitting on a shield depicting the same lion that is sitting on it, supported by two unicorns ​

So what's YOUR personal coat of arms?  Let's chat in the comments below.
(Mine is a lady in a baggy swimsuit and cowgirl boots riding a Labradoodle. You know, supporting a shield.)

    My name is Nasreen Yazdani.   I used to write micro essays, one-liners, and other small, lighthearted things. Most of them were funny.  

    Now I'm working on a book of stories.  The emotional range is... wilder.
