2. YW. Flamingos have a special meaning for me.

Number of years ago friend & I birdnapped another friend's yard ornament. Whole prank lasted about a month & got very involved. The victim even got a majority of flamigo related presents for her birthday a couple months later.

in the dead of night. The posher the neighborhood, the better.

5. Love it! Was company here who'd do that for you. I found out when I answered an ad from

Pennysaver. Their neighbor had just turned 50 and that's how many flamingos were in their yard.

I want the set I saw in What On Earth that's skeleton flamingos.
