LOL - yep I guess it had been hit by a car. Imagine the poor driver, not the sort of thing you expect to hit.

Pink Flamingo Insurance
Have you guys heard of the Pink Flamingo Fundraiser? Ten years ago I was working at a church who did this fundraiser. Here's the deal: The youth group was trying to raise money for something. They gave the congregation a chance to buy Pink Flamingo Insurance, and after the cut-off date all people who hadn't purchased the insurance would face the risk of a plastic pink flamingo showing up on their front lawn. The flamingo could not be removed until a fee/bribe had been paid. They made a ton off this! Helps if people are highly sensitive to having the perfect yard.
When I saw the title for this thread, I thought for sure someone was bringing the Pink Flamingo Insurance to TE...

I read in a link from somebody's blog today that a major manufacturer of pink flamingo lawn ornaments has stopped making them and is shutting down the business. It was a US company; and here I assumed they were Chinese sweatshop specials!!! (Somehow, I just don't think there will ever be a shortage, and I just can't quite see them becoming collector's items. Who knows, though?)
When I googled "pink flamingo" and clicked "news" ... it seems to be a well-covered story...

My SIL had their lawn "flocked" for his birthday. Apparently, Clearwater, FL (and maybe other towns) has a company who will put the appropriate number of plastic flamingos on your lawn during the night and then pick them up a day later.
Lisa, the central valley of CA seems to be very hospitable to peacocks but they can be mighty loud as neighbors.Frends know gud humors when dey is hear it. ~ Da Crockydiles of ZZE.
