My neighbor down the street turned 40 today and her husband and son placed 40 pink flamingos in their yard. One was looking into her bedroom window when she woke up this morning.
I don't know them well, but my wife believes they are Republicans. In the deep south, one will find Blue Dog Democrats who are indistinguishable from centrist Republicans. Here in Minnesota, the Republicans lean left. Can you imagine Republicans in the South placing anything pink in their yard, much less pink flamingos?
Pink Flamingos bring to mind the 1972 cult film with that name. The movie is about a Devine, a female impersonator, who lives in a mobile home with pink flamingos in the yard. In the movie, it's Divine's birthday. Rivals are disappiointed to learn that Divine has been named in a tabloid the filthiest person alive. Not to be outdone, they send her some feces in a birthday card claiming that title is theirs.
Happy Birthday, neighbor!
that's great!
