Pink Flamingos
Category: tasteless
Long time, no update. I should get better about that.

I'm looking for a tasteful gift for a housewarming party. Anyone know where in the Buffalo metropolitan area one can find a classic pink flamingo (WIKIPEDIA - Plastic_flamingo),

Pink flamingos sighted and obtained at Dave's Christmas Store. Much thanks to (e:zobar).

Party stores might have them.

I think you're going to have a tough time finding one. Probably try local garden centers or possibly Dave's Christmas Store, but call ahead. The only place I can think of that would definitely have one is out of business.

Home Depot has them but lists them as 'online only.'

SC vs. NC
Category: politics


SC's finally eclipsed us NC folks in some area. The best our former senator could do is some cougar videographer. Meanwhile Sanford goes for Argentinian hotties. Bonus kudos if the whole affair involved an exceptionally well-done tango.

Plumber Recommendations
Category: apartment
The kitchen sink in our new place still doesn't work. After two weeks, we're still washing dishes in our bath tub, which is starting to feel real 19th century-like. The handyman guy who the landlord was gonna have come by today is absent, and we can take it any longer so we're going to hire someone ourselves and then deduct the bill from our rent.

Can anyone on estrip recommend a plumber they've had good experiences with?

we use Penny's Hardware & Plumbing. they are nice guys and do good work, not to expensive...for a plumber.

My building plumber is a very efficient bloke but he in inordinately fond of pouring dishwashing fluid down the drain. He lives in my building. I don't know his number though.

I realize this is not a very helpful comment but if there are no recommendations in the next few hours, I can probably phone my manager and get his contact details.
