What I want on my desk…
It’s a pretty short drive for me, but the game’s sold out.
On my desk, at work nothing. I quit my disgusting job in January and haven’t had to put up with any of those assholes for 6 months.
On my desk at home:
pills, bills. paper
Their physiology is different than ours, I think that’s a real Martian breast.
A guy I used to work with had one of those, except it was a cow. One day we actually removed all the brown goop (we were trying to get the jelly bean out) and it came out and it stayed in the shape of the cow! It was hysterical, but maybe you had to have been there.
On my most recent desk:
Stuffed Dogbert
Stuffed Feathers McGraw (the penguin jewel-thief from “The Wrong Trousers”)
Juggling balls
Interlocking Escher lizards made of foam rubber.
Buckminser Fuller tensegrity sphere. (hanging from ceiling)
Wooden Soma puzzle. (along with the cool instruction book from the one I had when I was a kid)
Small, battery-powered hammer that made a glass-crashing sound when you something (like a computer monitor) with it.
A baby antelope’s jawbone,
a magnetic Tom Servo
and lots of rocks.
I have a wooden artist’s mannequin.
Lessee – on or adjacent to my desk: ashtray, cigarttes, lighter, eyeglasses, goodeneck lamp, calculator, CDs with peripherals drivers on thm, CD of city street maps of the U.S., box of checkbooks, The Constitution and What It Means Today, *The Jerusalem Bible, the 1979 Book of Common Prayer, notes on the Local Waterfront Revitalization Plan that I’m revising, a Jameson’s Irish coffee mug, seven rabbit figurines (Barb collects them), pictures of my three grandkids, two dead plants, one piece of popcorn, and an alligator clip.
A life-sized Keanu Reeves doll?
On my desk I’ve got a Super-Bouncy ball, a Jigglypuff softtoy (need to replace with Lego) and foam ball to throw at stuff.
A small plastic batman, from McDonalds.
A small chicken-mcnugget in a ghost costume from McDonalds
A squishy little airplane from Southwest.
A magic 8-ball Excuse Ball.
A two-foot tall rat, standing on his hind legs, striking a fearsome pose. In his mouth we have added a small chicken peep-let from a Halloween basket, and in his two hands, we have added the top and bottom from two other peeplets, so it looks like he is in an eating rampage.
And a small blue dinosaur who has his tail wrapped around a little plastic baby, which he is devouring legs first.
I wonder if it’s possible to get Crack Cream on Uranus?

I am loathe to divulge my work-place tchotchkes (sp?) for fear that I work with you sumbitches, and you may recognize.
My workplace is also my bedroom (shut UP, I’m not a prostitute. I work at my home computer, which happens to be in my bedroom). Therefore, there’s all sorts of useless junk around. Right now…: empty bowl of pudding, piccolo, phone number list for band, music theory book, old movie and concert tickets, my church tithe, which I keep forgetting to bring (cringe), and assorted pencils and stuff. Oh, and deodorant.
So, nothing particularly interesting. There’d be no room for it.
Not my desk, but my backpack (as a student, I occupy many desks, so all my junk has to be transportable.)
~At least 8 bouncy balls in all colors.
~A miniature wooden artist’s mannequin. He’s about 6 inches tall. I named him Jeremy and made him some jeans and a little flannel shirt. However, someone pantsed him, and now his pants won’t stay up.
~Two eggsful of Silly Putty
~various gel pens that have glittery ink
WOW!!! Ok, quick poll, I had two places to go with this one … gentle readers which, if either is actually funny … ready
[poll][ul]
[li]Wow! I have something like that at My desk, Eve, but I only play with it when I’m in the home office. [/li][li]Wow, Eve, I think you’re MY kinda gal!!![/li][li]ok, third choice, the one where I just THINK those things, and politely refrain from posting anything[/li][/ul] [/poll]
well admidst all the clutter I have several wooden puzzles. They were all hand made by a good friend of mine. 2 or 3 of them i have solved but there are a few i cannot. Coworkers always stop by and toy with them. My boss calls them “budget busters” because the people will stay in my cubicle trying to figure them out instead of working on their projects. Of course if you go to the bosses office he will chat your ears off about woodworking tools and fishing trips hes been on.
btw the good friend is like 70yrs old and I am 34. I never had a friend that old before. Kinda weird. He is cool tho, can drink ya right under the table and shoots pool like a pro. I tried talkin him into selling his puzzles on the internet but he wasnt interested. i bet he could get $20 apeiece for them. I think they would make great promotional items if you wood burned a company logo or slogan on them etc…
Ok Really:
A beanie-baby lamb, one of those thingees that have a flat plate with all the little metal pins through it, and a clear plastic front, so the pins don’t all just fall out. You know, you press it against stuff, and leave the impression showing in 3-D with the pin heads? Currently has “love” spelled out on it, but usually has some body part or other impressed into it. (hey! that was last post, I’m talking a fist or finger or face with tongue out … well, ok, sometimes what you’re thinking, too), Stained glass kalidoscope, couple hand held cheapy video games, and a cow that hops up and down and does the “mad cow” moo thing. Gets worse if you move around the room … toys everywhere!
Wow, lieu, I have a tube of Crack Creme, too! (For the dry skin on my elbow, you pervs!) And it really works wonderfully!
I also have a small container of Boudreau’s Butt Paste, the best diaper rash creme money can buy. Got it cause I LOVE the name.
I have a Tuck’s toilet. It’s the prize throw from the Krewe of Tucks at Mardi Gras each year – a little plastic toilet that when you open the lid squirts you in the face with water. 
And last but not least, a beanie giraffe and a beanie Dipsy the Teletubbie. Because they’re cute.
hehe. i have an i-mac lamp (think back a few years for the phrasing), a small amount of 24ct gold in a liquid, nail varnish remover, wire cutters with heavily padded handles, a wierd goopy thingy (like a clear tube with a dividing plate with a hole in it and goop on one side that moves thru the hole), a gallileo thermometer, a bottle of lemon vodka (why i dont know. i dont even drink the stuff!), a green hand-shaped mobile phone holder, and countless amounts of cds and assorteds cigarette-rolling crap…
not much really 
*Wyatt, I have one of those metal pin things, but some of the pins got kind of warped, and now it doesn’t work too well anymore. Eh, it was fun while it lasted.
Ah, twenty posts in, and I already made a stupid error that could have been realized and corrected if I had previewed… I obviously meant to bold that. sigh
