needed: suggestions for decorating my office

I doubt that you'd find this enjoyable, but I might help you in your
relations with your colleagues: Smear your walls in human excrement.

Consider:

It not only embodies one of the few common themes that we share with
not only our fellow humans, be they lumpen proletariat or royalty,
but also with the other orders of life in the universe, giving you a
universalist position (especially appealing to that vegetarian,
peace-love-and-understanding crowd (not to mention the Hare Krisna's)).

This sort of action is typical of small children, indicating your
youthful outlook on life.

It's less attractive attributes could be taken as a social statement
about your position, your office, or more generally as a nihilist
position on the world at large, one which could not be ignored.

It could be considered politically correct, as a "visible sign of
`The Movement.'"

It's anti-elitist; you're not restricting yourself to those
so-called "artists" who happen to have the current fancy of the
toadying crowd, nor does it depend on literacy in any language,
living or dead. You will have emodied in your decoration that which
can be created by all, in their own way (for some, in their finest
hours).

For those who like the brutal, punk, crypto-nazi imagery, consider
what almost all vertibrates do when confronted with imminent death.
Much more creative than the usual leather studs and A-in-a-circle,
no?

Concerned about color scheme? This style will generally involve
brown, which is a mixture of red, yellow, and blue, so no need to
take a stand on color only to be faced with heartbreak when the
furniture is changed. Of course, diet may be adjusted for those who
MUST have variety.

So, are you MUTANT enough to TAKE the CHANCE?

PS: This won't work without the six-foot lava lamp, of course.
