The bird is the word






Flamingo decal is mounted on acetate and a magnet glued to the back, the back is painted black to provide a silhouette, the magnet allows for  storage.

Nice work Roccus. Next you need to make the old flamingo a hot dog cooker. I am thinking in shape of an ice trap with the cooking hotdogs as the flag. Whe the hot dog is down the flag pops up off the grill....

I'm thinking. Beaver dam style  would suit this well!.. the wheels are turning.. after the seasons over, itll be my opening post next fall.

Nope. His temper tantrums were one thing but when you start getting after somebodies family with your internet muscles on just for busting your balls… good riddance.

That said, did AA get his annual timeout? Seems like there’s a couple real interesting threads going and he’s been real quiet.

Nice build as always Joe.... probably the best result of this whole episode.

But Ray's right - all posts etc. from the ex-member that shouldn't be named are gone.

Of course - doesn't mean he's not lurking - just like those the blow up a spot when its mentioned.
Funny (or sad) how a simple misunderstanding of a comment that most understood was not serious... caused such a sh$% show.

He's in the penalty box... Frank can still log in but can't post or PM yet, no word on how long...

At least one misunderstanding got Frank a new moniker and a kick ass 1 off Roc custom trap...
Ole Snitch didn't know that it's actually an Ostrich that hides it's head in the sand, not the mighty Pink Flamingo LOL
