I have a whole lot of wallpapers. Right now I am using This one of cherry trees at Hains Point. I also use one I took of these ducks of which I am very fond. (It stretches out pretty well, too.) I have a lot of star pictures and planets and such taken from The Astronomy Picture of the Day site from NASA.

I change it frequently. Right now it’s a photo of me, my Rottie Cooper & his sister Misha, owned by a friend.
I have a picture of 30 Doradus, a nebula in the Large Magellanic cloud on my desktop. Before that I had that Hubble picture of Mars, just before the big dust storm hit a few weeks back. Yes, I’m a nerd. I have admitted it in the past.
At work, I have a photo of a MiG-29 engulfed in a fireball. At the Paris air show a few years ago, two MiG’s were performing aerobatic maneuvers when the wing of one sliced through the other, just behind the cockpit. My wallpaper is a pic of the sliced plane as the pilot started ejecting (the canopy has been blown, but the seat has not yet fired). (Note: both pilots ejected and landed safely.)
At home, I have a utility that randomly changes the wallpaper at startup, so it cycles through a dozen or so different backgrounds. A few of my favourites are:

[li] A Ford GT-40 at Le Mans (circa mid-60’s), in the rain.[/li][li] Ayrton Senna (F1 driver) mentally preparing himself before a race.[/li][li] Gilles Villeneuve (F1 driver) sliding through a turn at Monaco.[/li][li] M. Schumacher (another F1 driver) in the rain at Monaco.[/li][li] A lineup of NASA lifting body aircraft.[/li][li] A pair of SR-71’s in the desert.[/li][li] A stealth fighter over some mountains.[/li]

I have a DeHaviland dhc-6 seaplane from: www.airlinerphotos.com
I switch between this picture and a picture of a banana getting ready to shoot up with the help of his friends (a toy monkey starting the lighter and an alligator holding the spoon). Thank you for the wallpaper Bad News Baboon. I would have emailed you to tell you how great your website is but I couldn’t find an address.
I use a two monitor setup (at work) so my desktop is 2560 x 1024. I like to customize my own, so fortunately I have Photoshop. Right now, I’ve got a montage of my favorite shots of my three boys taken at the Outer Banks last summer. I’ve colorized then a deep green and stylized them with texture and the cutout effect, to make it easier to see the icons.
In the past, my favorite was a Maxfield Parrish painting, with three women lounging poolside and a mountainscape and lake in the background. After a while I needed to jazz it up a bit, so I composited characters from Toy Story into the scene. I got them to match pretty well, and some of them you really had to look for to notice. (The dinosaur was peaking out around one of the cliffs in the background. Mr. Potatohead was standing on the hand of the woman on the left. An alien toy was waving from inside the lute.) That one got a lot of comments. Unfortunately my hard drive died and I lost that creation.

Mine is a very frightening close-up of Malcom McDowell as Alexander DeLarge. I love the fake eyelashes on his right eye. Also, for some strange reason that I myself do not understand, I am attracted to my good buddy Alex. I’m a weirdo.
That is hilarious! I read it, but not all the way through.
I was “reeeeeally? wow! I have one just like that!”
I was getting all miffed that someone ripped me off!
and then I saw my name! wow! you really made my day! a new episode is up, btw.
I have to check it out. I love your page. It’s HIGHLY entertaining. Hope you don’t mind me using your pics on my desktop.
LOL! Between that and the can with string phone. Bad News… You are my new favorite doper.
At home, I have an incredibly sexy picture of Dave Navarro that was in SPIN magazine a month or so ago. Yum… Dave Navarro, shirtless and brooding…lord have mercy.
At work, I used to have a great pic of Jay and Silent Bob, but my boss kind of frowned on it. So, I stick with the plain purple background. (That, and the pic realllllly slowed down my computer.)
I’ve got some gorgeous promo art of the Necromancer from Diablo 2. I feel like such a nerd! 
(Incidentally, my last wallpaper was a shot of Kai from Lexx, before that was Death from the Sandman comics, before that was a pic of Tori Amos looking ecstatic in concert. I really need to get one of those utilities that switches through different wallpapers)

I used to have D2 Paladin promo art as my wallpaper here at work, I currently have a group of five Opel GT pics.
zoinks! not at all!
I feel, like, famous or something!
seeing as you are a pal of monkey party, go to friends of monkey party and I’ll put a link to your site!
new desktop picture:
Im gonna adopt a new dog. her name is georgie.
she’s on my wallpaper.
My desktop wallpaper is a large photo of Secretariat winning the 1973 Belmont Stakes, one of the most famous pictures in racing as the nearest horse was 31 lengths–or about 165 feet–behind. His jockey, Ron Turcotte, is craning his neck looking behind him, wondering where the hell all the other horses went.
I love that picture!
