| | Thursday, August 24th, 2006 3:36 pm midget4rmhell I just was wondering... Have any of you guys ever made super hero names for yourselves & or friends at one point? Mines is FlaminGirl :]... Happy happy joy joy.current mood: cheerful (4 comments | comment on this) Wednesday, August 2nd, 2006 2:51 pm - Curious... toastedfork What do you think about light-up lawn ornaments, are they lawn ornaments?In that case, what makes a lawn ornament a "lawn ornament"?Do you have favorite (sorts or individual) ornaments?The reawakened activity in this community has coaxed my curiosity out of the tool shed and these are a few of the questions that have been ambling around in my head. As far as the community goes, any requests, suggestions, ideas, or whatever are more than welcome, anything and everything, so long as it is in support of the community, which I do not doubt it would be anyways. I feel very strange saying that because it is, after all, a community and a pretty equal ground for everyone. It has never really occurred that there's a sort of "responsibility" as a "maintainer" or whatnot. I apologize for my negligence and for anything that may have gone undone or left unmentioned because of it.And on that note, I think I should be honest: I was unaware that there was such a devoted love of lawn ornaments and I, myself, don't have flamingo one on my lawn; but I have been more than pleasantly surprised by the love of flamingos, gnomes, along with all the other fantastic objects, oddities, and high profile lawn-personalities. The "Lawn Ornament Mafia" began as a highly amusing and delightful scheme between a friend and me, the story behind it is a bit ridiculous and the spontaneous creation of this community is just as much so. I guess it was a good thing though - I do not know of many (if any) other such communities -leastwise it's another opportunity for more flamingos to be rescued and more fans of flamingos to unite.

Well he lives in a efficiency and the landlord is kinda related to me. As I pass by their corner I noticed they have about 5 or more flamingos and other lawn goodies in their lawn... I wanna get them LOL. I mean I don't think they'll miss one ;). Yeah... so anyone good at this sort of stuff?current mood: confused (comment on this) Thursday, July 20th, 2006 12:34 pm sugarlobotomy I am so excited about more activity in this group!! I intend to take some photos of my actual lawn decor soon...but in the meantime...here are a couple silly photos of me from 2004, one contains a flamingo, one contains a stolen yard object, and the last is of a stolen gnome...( Read more...Collapse ) (2 comments | comment on this) 1:47 pm naugachick75 So, i have decided we dont make use of this community, so i have taken it upon myself to photograph ( and poorly i might add) the flamingos living in my computer room.

Plus at the end of my block there are two little gnomes weeeeeeeeee.-Jaifecurrent mood: content (7 comments | comment on this) 12:05 am Tuesday, March 21st, 2006 8:18 am verymandy Well, I cannot say that I advocate stealing lawn ornaments... though I do not judge... I will say that I do truly apreicate lawn ornaments and the weirder the better. I have to say that I favor gnomes over flamingos but an awesome junk garden (as I like to call them) would incorporate them both-- and then some. Here in Texas one might employ old rusty bikes, cactus, Dr Pepper signs, Lone State stars and yes, a gnome or two, in their garden of junk. It is like a living and breathing sculpture that changes on the whims of their (probably senior citizen) owners. Some day I will have one.

I am 19, and have been collecting and liberating flamingos for about three years now. the first flamingo i liberated was named Wagglet, and I liberated him from a yard belonging to a punkrock singer named Noah Wagner, lead singer of Daycare Swindlers. She wears a lacy bow on her long neck. The second flamingo I liberated was named Punksure, since he was once used for target practice by an ex-boyfriend. He's got some holes, but they ooze with love.I own about 80 flamingo items, some of which are still packed away from my recent move to Maryland. they range from socks to statues, I have P.J.s and dashboard bobblers, and lots of others. I also have a tattoo on my right arm, which i designed myself, and adore very much.I am a devoted flamingo-ist, and will continue to liberate them until the day i die :)<3 JenniP.S. Keep posting, and so will I.current mood: relaxed (4 comments | comment on this) Saturday, March 5th, 2005 2:37 am Sunday, January 9th, 2005 5:15 pm - liudfysoiu | |
