Pink Flamingos

[my_ophelia]

Where in the Seattle Area can I find Pink Flamingos. Typically they have the one wire leg, to insert into your lawn, but ideally I need something that will stand on it's own. In a pinch, I will take whatever I can get.

Archee McPhee does not carry them, nor do Champion. I need them by this Friday, for a Birthday Party at WaMu Theater.

Yeah, but that's for lawn. They are Plan B.

[iheartretards]

are there any other kinds?

[my_ophelia]

I was hoping some that stood on their own. Seattle Flamingos will bring a bunch to someones house, and plant them in the lawn as a prank.

I need them for an indoor party, inside WaMu Theater.

However, I'm sure I can call and have them work something out. I would just prefer to own them, for future use (because apparently we throw lots of parties where we might need our own set of outdoor pink flamingos?!?!)

Get some flowerpots?

[my_ophelia]

good idea. I will suggest this.

If I couldn't find them, I was going to call you and see if you had any other ideas.

I am pretty sure I can order them from somewhere but that would take a couple of weeks. Someone already suggested Oriental Trading Co. and I always keep their catalogs around just in case. I can get you wholesale prices.

I think if Display & Costume has them, I am saved.

How weird is my job. All srs biz "I need 12 pink flamingos! By Friday!" "Yes Ma'am. I'll get right one it"

Seriously, I have people calling me for wind-up hippos, fake dog poo, anything you can think of. But then I'm kind of in the "wierd stuff" business.

If you ever have need of a HAT that looks like a pile of dog poo with a shoe print in it, lemme know. I got one I want to get rid of.

You know, I really needed one of those last week. I should have posted to seattle. Dang.

[mschilepepper]

WHEN WILL YOU LEARN?!?

[badrobot68]

But I have learned from watching this community that if you need something, you should always make a post RIGHT BEFORE YOU NEED IT. Never a week in advance, because then you might actually have time to find what you're looking for.

You know what's really sad? It's like those fuckers who post on Freecycle, asking for a working laptop, and some schmuck invariably ponies up a free laptop. *thud*
