Well, My mouse pad has a picture of Dilbert on it and he is sitting at a computer and his boss is walking by. Above the picture is a quote saying “How did people ever look busy before they had computers” hehe. I was wondering what other people had on their mouse pads. ---

Marvin the Martian claiming the Earth’s moon for Mars (he has a flag with Mars on it, which looks like a Japanese flag except the red circle looks like a planet; I just noticed this after having the pad for a long time) and holding a ray gun menacingly. 🙂 ---

The one I use at work is big and round and has a a stick picture of a drilling rig and my company’s name. I like it. At home I’ve got a Gateway cow skin thing whose appearance is dominated by accumulated grime. I like it, too. ---

The one on main machine at home has my poem “Chasing the Rainbow” that I wrote back when the ex and I were first dating… blue sky background with a cloud and a rainbow crossing it, the words to the poem written down the length of it. The one on my secondary machine at home has one of my other poems I wrote (and the one that’s actually been published) “Games Master”. It’s on a black and green checkerboard background, the poem written in white (it’s also my favorite poem, so I try to keep that mouse pad cleaner 🙂 ) At work, it’s just a black mouse pad with a gel wrist rest. ---

I use a plain piece of white paper as a mousepad. (It cleans the mouse as you use it) Consequently, I also use it as a note pad, and so it has notes and messages jotted onto it. ---

Recently got an optical mouse and no longer need a pad. I just use my desktop. Last mousepad was the Mystery Science Theater 3000 planet logo. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-on-your-mouse-pad/53966.md?page=2)
