June 23rd is Pink Flamingo Day!

Post by jztemple2 »

National Pink Flamingo Day was created in 2007 by Dean Mazzaralla, the mayor of Leominster, MA, to honor Don Featherstone, an American artist most widely known for his 1957 creation of the plastic pink flamingo. These lawn ornaments have become a pop culture icon.
My flamboyance of flamingos approve:

I like John Waters, but it's one of the most disgusting movies ever made.

In one of the film's most infamous scenes, Cookie and Crackers have sex while crushing a live chicken between them as Cotton looks on through a window.

Look at all the cute little flamingos :wub:

Meanwhile, some flamingos have been known to subsist in a chlorinated water environment.

I've been trying to convince my wife to take a ride over there to look at Phoebe, but I think she's afraid I'd try to sneak it out to our car :wink:

Assuming you are asking a serious question, it's a red panda.

Red “panda”, which “modern genetic evidence places it in close affinity with raccoons, weasels, and skunks”

Yes, it was a serious question, but let's not get carried away and assume in the future that I might be asking more serious questions. It did look like a weird raccoon.

Thank you. I just wondering if that red panda could get over that glass wall... although the more serious question :wink: is, would it even want to get over that wall?

The most disgusting John Waters movie ever. I'm surprised they celebrate it with its own day.
