My, then, girlfriend gave me a flamingo lamp for Christmas in 2001. I still remember walking through the heightened security at Ragan International in DC with a flamingo head sticking out the back top of my soft briefcase. I just kept a straight face, very Bond, James Bond.

We were in downtown Vancouver and strolled into a shop and they had flamingos. Metal ones. Several sizes. All kinds of poses.
I bought one
I can't believe I did that.
I bought one each for my friends who just got Flying Clouds
I felt a tad foolish at the cash register as the clerk looked at me somewhat strangely.
Good thing I'll likely never go back to that store again.

You have nothing to be embarrassed about! Buy those flamingos, and buy them with pride.
Reminds me of when I went to REI and purchased bike handlebar streamers, a bell, and a basket. I got to the front of the line, and the guy at the register said, (in a smarmy tone), "And are these for your bike?" I said YES, and stared at him, daring him to say more. He didn't.
Looking forward to seeing the flamingo flock at TCT.
