My wanderlust green embassy has been order since March 2021, and with the last update, I’m not due until July 2022.

In the meantime I gots my CP to keep me warm. don’t even know what cp stands for, I just call her The Flamingo.

CP undoubtedly stands for the Flamingo's Latin family:genus/closest living relatives name, Ciconiiformes Phoenicopterus. (roughly translated as "the leggiest shrimp suckers you'll ever see").

Although I suppose there's an outside chance it stands for something random like "Classic Pro".

dunno why they don’t just call it by its proper name… FireBird bass….

Ciconiiformes Phoenicopterus… I may have to get a gold name plate made up…

We are all Rich Rosen, yet each individual model line gets it own name, such as O'Neal, or Sigfrieddotter. Same with the various models of Firebirds, Thunderbirds, Icebirds, and Smokebirds.
