I woke up to this Email..

(I'm not in college anymore, but I still have my college email and check it often because its linked to my amazon account)

Subject: Stolen Flamingos 

15 plastic flamingos were taken from various locations on campus during the past few hours which are the property of the Campus Ministries Department and were being used as part of a promotional advertisement by the students in BCM. I realize such incidents often occur on college campuses around the world, but these figures cost BCM $15 each and are needed back to support the mission of BCM.  If you "borrowed them" I would ask that they be returned this day in order that they can be put back out by our BCM students."When I was a child I acted as a child...." Now my parents sent me to college to become a success, not a collector of memorabilia that was being used as part a young adult Christian program.  If it was property of your church, your parents or grandparents. etc., you would sense the importance of not wanting to be a part of such a juvenile act!As the Navy Seals would say, "Do the deed!" The right deed! FREE THE FLAMINGOS!***** ******Director of Safety and Security

    HAHA

    I went to a Christian college and there were a handful of girls on my floor that took "memorabilia" and collected it in their dorm rooms. They ended up with the Chick-fil-a cow cut out, a cut out of  Vin diesel (not sure where he came from), at least 15 signs (no running in the chapel, women's restroom etc.)

    The head RA lived on our floor and came back one evening to find our hallway decorated in signs from all over campus. She was really easy going but made them take the signs down anyhow and said she didn't want to see them again.

    We would put Vin diesel in the stairwell right at curfew so girls coming in would open the door and get startled. Also he was known to be found in an open bathroom stall, or riding the elevators haha.

    $15.00!  No way - if they're the stupid plastic ones with metal stakes for legs, you can get them at the freaking dollar store.  That is hysterical! 

    The reason I know you can buy them for a dollar - my father played an ongoing trick on an old neighbor of his one summer after they installed their new pool.  He bought a supply of them and would randomly place one on their lawn when they weren't home or at night.  They had no idea who was doing it and when they started to suspect my father he had me  do it while he was out of town to throw them off track.  It was really funny.  They collected about 20 of them.
