I have a pic of Michelangelo’s David on my mouse pad. It’s not exactly an artsy pic, though. It’s a nice tight shot of David’s ass. 😉 The nicest shiny white ass I’ve seen in a while…(unfortunately). When the cable guy came to install and configure my cable modem, I think he was a little embarassed. (pun intended). ---

At home I have a margaritaville mousepad, acquired on one of my semi-frequent trips to Key West. It has a nice color sketch of the exterior of the restaurant/store on Duval St. At work, my mousepad has the map of the Chicago L system. This is primarily out of nostalgia, but also serves as a subtle clue to my superiors that I miss the place and will return if not taken care of (read $$$). ---

I had to retire my South Park - Cartman pad. Now it’s one from the Post Office, The Wolf Man, Lon Chaney, Jr. The one at work is just solid blue. Need to remedy that. A mousepad that talks? Cool. ---

The words, “The White and Yellow Pages” Yes, my mousepad is a telephone book. You got a problem with that? I mean, hey, how many guys can look up phone numbers in their mousepad? 😉 ---

Mine’s shaped like the MST3K Spaghetti Ball logo. It’s older than the hills, and the cloth on the bottom where my wrist rests is starting to peel off. I should see if they still make these so I can get another… ---

Go to [http://www.mst3kinfo.com](http://www.mst3kinfo.com) and click on the “gear” link on the left and you can order a new one as well as other cool MSTie stuff. ---

Home- 3M Precise Mousing Surface in a black/purple abstract pattern. If anyone can find these I’d gladly pay shipping to replace the Chicago Cubs pad at work. The only ones I can find have Looney Tunes characters. ---
