Last week sometime I was in the office of my co-workers Jen and Jerry. Jen has a houseplant (or I suppose, officeplant) on her windowsill that could use a little more room. She asked where she could get a plant stand. I offered my three standard responses:
a. Plant Stands ‘R’ Us
b. I’m Not Gonna Pay a Lot for This Plant Stand
c. www.plantstands.com
But it turns out there really is a plantstands.com. I suppose it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. It was the first place we thought to look for a plant stand, so it was probably a smart decision on the part of the owner. But that’s not the reason I’m giving them the award. They’re getting the award because of the link in the menu bar that says, “Make Us Your Homepage.” Now that takes some chutzpah. Forget Yahoo, MSN and The New York Times. Now you can get the latest information on plant stands whenever you open your browser! At last!
And you know what? It’s not even a very good place to buy a plant stand.
