If you fill it with helium, it might learn to fly.
The local military would probably find it quite amusing when they have to scramble a couple of fighter jets to check out an anomalous blip on the radar.
Then the pilots would need to convince ground control that there really is a giant, inflatable, pink flamingo flying at 10,000 feet.
If you have an SWG, you can collect the hydrogen and use that to inflate the bird.
That way, when the jets fire their air-to-air AIM-120 AMRAAM missles, it will explode in a giant fireball.

LOL. We have the swan version. 75" beak to tail. My 9-year-old daughter named it Monica Sprinkles...
Sadly Monica didn't service the winter outside. We now have Monica2, but that will be our little secret.

I just had an evil idea. You know how churches and civic groups visit houses in the middle of the night and flock your yard with plastic flamingos and charge you to remove them or place them in someone else's yard? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm................![]()
