The company that started the pink flamingo craze has gone out of

business. I'm in deep mourning. Oh, sure, laugh all you want. They've been making cheap, plastic pink flamingos since before I was born and now they're closing the doors. Here's your last chance to possess a relic. All my Barbies are gone. All my garden gnomes are toast. My Beatle records? Where are they? But pink flamingos are still available for a short period of time. Act now. I beg you.http://www.outdoorwood.com/catalog/flamingos/

 
I can actually hear my heart breaking. This is just too much for my delicate sensibilities. snort

 
This thread is so funny that I'm in tears, thanks clofthwld & Sandy! Our church did a funny flamingo

thing with the youth group a few years ago wherein a member of the staff would end up with like 50 of these things on their front lawn; the first year, it was our minister who moved to Florida from upstate NY and it was SO funny because they'd been out of town for a few days, returned and found their entire front yard covered with them in the ground. Now they could probably sell them for a fund-raiser!

 
My mom had a friend who hated plastic pink flamingos, and it became de rigeur to secretly leave one

at her house everytime she had a party - all the guests would compare notes afterwards, "did you see it? who did it this time?" and so one. Eventually this gal started taking pictures of her little "surprises" - the one I loved the most was when they left a miniature one in her bathtub! wonder what she did with them all, this was a running gag for at least 5 years!!!

 
This would be a fun thing to do: Steal a garden gnome and put a pink flamingo

in it's place. Sick, but to my mind, funny.
