[Magdalen] Creator of Cultural Icon RIP

[Jay Weigel]

A source of income for the youth group of my former parish in TN...you can
pay them to "flock" someone of your choice (place a large number of said
cultural icons about their lawn in dead of night). They also sell "flamingo
insurance, which one may purchase against being "flocked", so they come out
ahead in either direction.
