[My desktop](http://picasaweb.google.com/mandymcdermottx/UntitledAlbum1/photo#5206442468072616354) I stole the pic from Flickr. Sorry if it’s yours. I’ve never claimed it as mine. 🙂 Just liked it a lot. ---

100 squid kisses for anyone who recognizes the featured creature: [My Desktop at Home](http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd85/olivesmarch4th/christydesktop.jpg) And at work, I can’t find the image right now, but it’s an orange squid that says ‘‘Free Hugs.’’ ---

I love my [orange eft](http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i225/emilyforce/SShot.jpg). I wish I could remember where I got him. I think he’s \*technically \*a “red eft” even though he’s orange. ---

Thanks for prompting a clean up of the desktop. [Mine](http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/2121/sshot16081vf2.png) is from a photo I took myself and toned down a bit for wallpaper duty. ---

I’m too ashamed to post mine. I was encouraged at first by the people who said theirs were “messy”…until I looked at them. Mine is a nightmare. A horror file on top of file on top of folder. It made our IT guy yell Jesus Christ! when he looked at it. It makes children weep and dogs howl in terror. OK, after all that, I can’t not post it. [Here it is.](http://picasaweb.google.com/ceasterling/StraightDope) You’ve been warned. ---
