Woo hoo! I'm not crazy after all! Look at this picture!
As I have said on many occasions, to my friends, family, and acquaintances, this is what I'd like to do to my front lawn, if the neighbors could deal with it.
How nice to know that I'm not the only person on earth with such excellent taste in outdoor decor!

The disturbing thing is not that they're plastic. The disturbing thing is not that they're pink. The disturbing thing is that they only have one leg, or by some manufacturers two coat hangers. People across the Midwest are decorating their lawns with deformed mutant bottom feeding birds, on grass yet.
What pleasure they extract from peering out at their twisted mockeries of avian life I can't fathom. :dontknow1:
Reminds me of the Joke,"What do pink flamingos decorate their front yards with? ... Little plastic...." Oh never mind.

What are you, a snob? Have you no appreciation of proletarian art?
I love pink flamingos. Why not? I'm in the South, and we're not allowed to have lawn jockeys any more. Would you deny us our pink flamingos, too?
As for the Midwest, I'll take a pink flamingo any day, over the bathtub madonnas I saw when I lived in Ohio. At least people don't worship the flamingos.....

I would like to say "how classy" but my lips are sealed.
It's a Very Pink Day in My Neighborhood

Baton Rouge: Pink Flamingoes appear in Capitol Lake (behind La Capitol
building, not pictured) each year before the Spanish Town Mardi Gras.
In Spanish Town, in Baton Rouge, one would see Flamingoes on nearly every house during the Spanish Town Mardi Gras Parade and some every time of the year. The Flamingo
may have been a gay symbol originally in that community within a city.
Spanish Town was at one time particularly renowned for possessing a higher-than-average proportion of gay residents, though this has waned over the years with urban gentrification.
