Well Said, Margaret
Here's a letter to the editor from the June 12 Corvallis (OR) Gazette-Times. It's pparently a follow-up letter to one we missed earlier. Bird certainly approves of Margaret's thoughts, but feels she understates the possible consequences.
On a different note, most of the staff at the World Headquarters is leaving today for a mass migration to an event near Cleveland. Posting will resume on Thursday evening with photos of Bird at the World Cup.
Letters: Possible effects of flamingo theft
Since asking nicely for my sweet, elderly (she’s going to kill me for calling her elderly) neighbors’ flamingos to be returned didn’t work, I thought I might turn to guilt but, then I thought, no. Instead I have decided to point out what flamingo-napping could lead to in the future:
What starts out with stealing tacky-but-beloved molded pink plastic lawn ornaments could lead to lying about your education on your resume while running for the office of sheriff, smashing flower pots and urinating in public downtown, snatching rainbow flags off peoples homes, stealing iPods, becoming a state legislator and being run over and busted for crystal meth all at the same time and a cell phone tax only for people who live in Corvallis. Oh wait ... that already happens here.
OK. Stealing flamingos may lead to international terrorism, voting Republican, the Gap, Crate and Barrel, Banana Republic and William Sonoma coming to downtown and Dimple Hill becoming a Six Flags theme park!
Bring back the beloved flamingos! You know who you are. Do you understand the concept of Karma? Probably not. You might want to look it up sometime.
