Offices may be the single most dysfunctional organizational idea ever.  They make people stupid.   Take 12 very smart people, 3 semi-smart people, and 0ne moron, put them all in an office and by Friday you’ve got 16 people all operating in “moron mode”.  The smart people know they’re operating at a substandard level and they become bitter and jaded.  The semi-smart people know something’s amiss but can’t quite put their fingers on it… usually because they’re distracted by the greatness that is “Hawaiian Shirt Friday”.  The moron thinks everything is awesome.

In the world of flowers, there is one flower that reigns supreme.  That, of course, would be the rose.  A rose is picturesque.  A rose comes with thorns so it can be used as a weapon if needed.  Roses had a featured role in Alice in Wonderland.  Roses often go on sale on February 15th.  This post will not be about roses.  I could write about roses easily.  No.  This is going to be about tulips.  Tulips… the red headed step children of the garden.

Tulips were invented in 1267 by a guy in Prague.

OK, it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything other than Russian Zombie spam or a random thought about I movie I saw 20 years ago.  I know.  I am the lame.

So instead of me sitting here at the keyboard spending 5-10 minutes of my precious time coming up with my next piece, I’m going to make you do it.

I’ve created a new topic called “You Asked For It!”.  Under this header I am challenging any and all readers to send me an idea to write about.  Any idea at all.  Sometime ago, a friend of mine mentioned that he thought I could ramble on, at length in an entertaining manner about anything… whether I knew anything on the subject or not.  So I’m testing that theory.

I’ll be rambling on up to two reader submitted topics per week.  Unless I don’t receive any topic suggestions… in which case I may lie and say I did.  You’ll never know.

So send your ideas to monty@posthumorous.org.  Best idea submission/post combo (as voted on by you!) wins a prize.  Most likely it’ll be an old Frisbee that I’ll write “WINNER!” on with a marker.

Seriously though, send me ideas.

In the e-mail, please let me know if you’d like to be (and how you’d like to be) credited for the idea.
