I've Been Flamingoed


A local religious school, that my neighbor's daughter attends, has figured out a unique way to raise money. First they load someone's yard up with pink flamingos, then charge them $25 to remove them and plant them in someone else's yard.

The money will go for a trip to Washington, D.C.

Heheh - the band here does that, too. Nothing like getting flocked by strangers in the night...

Um, isn't that technically called extortion?
I keep thinking, what if it was horse crap instead of flamingoes?

I've had that happen to me too. We call it "getting flocked."

And I didn't pay until 3 days had passed, because I think the kitsch is funny and it made me laugh.
