[Magdalen] Spring peepers!!

[Cantor03 at aol.com]

Reminds me a little of the flock of plastic pink flamingos that our  
yard/garden
guy plays with when he comes by once or twice a week during the  summer.
Our little flock, some 20 in number, move here and there in the  garden,
to everyones' amusement since the garden opens onto the street.
 
I don't know how this pink flamingo thing got started.  There is, of  
course,
the notorious film of the same name by John Waters.  Then there was  the
mass display along the Mississippi bluffs at Savannah, Illinois (where  the
Burlington Zephyrs left the river for a straight shot at Chicago),  and
more recently, it has worked it's way into a tradition on Bascom  Hill,
UW-Madison Campus.

Peeps  will ever remind me of a particular roommate who used to place a
single row  of five Peeps in unexpected places in the house. I'd be
shaving, and  something would catch my eye and I'd look up to see a row
of yellow beaks  protruding from above the bathroom mirror. Some days
they'd be in the  fridge or on a bookshelf. Of course I played along
and repositioned the  Peeps every time. What made it extra funny was
that we didn't mention this  to each other while it was going on.
Silent shenanigans.
