Like a phoenix rising from the fire… Or is it a phlamingo?

Pink Flamingo To Spread Its Wings Again

Found via the Right Wing Howler.  

The pink plastic flamingo, a Florida-inspired icon that has been reviled as kitschy bad taste and revered as retro cool, is dead at age 49.  Apparently, the factory that creates the plastic lawn ornaments will stop making them this year.  

Not from the bird-flu as reported months ago, but dying just the same.

But not all is lost.  Sticks of Fire has found a way for you to keep showing your love to the beautiful and wonderous pink flamingo.  I introduce the latest t-shirt creation from Brother Mike.  I suggest you guys would like the pink flamigo t-shirt.  And I’m certain you ladies don’t want to miss out on the pink flamingo thong.
