Plastic Pink Flamingo Shortage imminent!

Crude oil heading toward $200.00 a barrel? Trivial! More important here at WU Central is the upcoming dearth of avian lawn ornaments as the company that makes them goes bankrupt!

Read the whole sad story here.

How will extortionate charities get their money now, if the practice of "flamingoing" is doomed?

There was a family in Rhode Island that would set up seasonal dioramas on their lawn of pink flamingos engaged in football, baseball, trick-or-treating, etc. Then they moved away somewhere and broke my heart!
