Madison, of course, is the Moscow of the Midwest, the Berkerly of the Cheese State. Pink Flamingo is also a gay movie by Jon Waters, and that may have had something to do with it.

May have, but I do remember the Bascom Hill Pink Flamingo prank—
“The idea was sparked by a 1979 prank when pranksters on campus put out 1,008 of the birds.”
On the first day of classes, September 4, 1979, Madison students awoke to find that more than 1,000 pink flamingos covered the University’s Bascom Hill.
I was just a child, of course...

The maker of pink plastic flamingoes went out of business last year and they are an endangered species.
Madison is just so very precious....you just want to walk up to the city council and pinch them on the cheek.

Isn’t that kind of a small bore in the foreground?

Pink Flamingos is about a family competing to be The Filthiest People Alive. Seems appropriate.

Of course, that would be a plastic gun in his/her hand. You know, to go with the plastic birds. It couldn’t be a _real_ gun...

"Of course, that would be a plastic gun in his/her hand. You know, to go with the plastic birds. It couldnt be a _real_ gun..."Sheesh, you guys! Don't you know a da*ned BEEBER when you see one?? This one is not set to "stune," though. Looks like it's set on "ana-hilliate."

I look forward to the debate, aka the Rummel-Remmele Rumble. Just as long as no-one starts rambling.
