The exact calendar I bought today at lunch to replace last year’s Weird NJ calendar, which was a gift from my Dad–Tillie is also smiling down at me … and freaking out my coworkers, though most of them recognized the face as soon as they saw it.
At home, I have a Superman calendar that somebody gave me for Christmas. I would have brought it into work, but I like it enough that I want to write the important stuff on that one … like, when parties are and stuff.
Home - Get Fuzzy daily calendar
Work - 365 Worst Things Ever Said daily calendar, Demotivation wall calendar, plus a blotter calendar and a plain desk flip calendar for notes.
On the desk, I have the 365 Bottles of Beer For The Year calendar, courtesy of the Bus Kid. Wonder if she’s getting at something there?? :eek:
On the big wall, I have the vendor-supplied July-June calendar including a big-ass picture of, yeah a bus.
The Day Timer is on the desk, open. Though this year I changed from the 2-page a day to 1-page a day, because I don’t take so many notes on that anymore, usually carrying a legal pad for that, or this stupid laptop I seem to be married to,
Stuck to the bulletin board next to me is a laminated January calendar hanging by a pin. I use the Olympus program to make a new one each month featuring one of my own pictures, and one for the Bus Wife as well. Hers usually has a picture of Erica, who died on us in August, or of the Bus Kid. This months January for me is this one in which Cuervo discovered that the Christmas tree is in fact, a tree and thus eligible for climbing.
I got too many calendars here, now that I think about it because I just realized there are two others up here that I didn’t even mention.
At work I have our corporate calendar, which I was in charge of this year. I wrote all the text for each month’s member or department profile, hired photographers in three countries to take pictures of our profiled members/departments, and selected and edited the photos we used for each. 25,000 have been distributed in the US, Canada and Australia. I have another one of those at home to write all our bills on, since that’s what’s paying our bills to begin with. 
In my kitchen I have the annual recipe calendar from Kraft, which came free in the mail. Near my bed I have a calendar of The Endless Summer, featuring lovely shots of guys surfing four decades ago.
My wall calendar at home is the Denver Zoo. I get one every year as part of my membership.
Work is the normal blah work wall calendar.
I also have a Chicago Reader calendar that I haven’t yet decided if I’m brave enough to hang at work.
I have an American scenery calendar at home. At work and school, I use Yahoo Calendar, since I can get that anywhere and don’t have to carry a datebook.

On my desk I have a spiral bound calendar/planner from the Stephen King Library.
On my walls I have: Easter Seals and Alzheimer’s Association (flowers and paintings).
I am waiting for my Demotivators Calendar to arrive from Despair dot com.
I got two calendars for Christmas.
Bedroom: St. Louis Cardinals wall calendar
Kitchen: “Stars of NASCAR” wall calendar
Because I love art deco and vintage posters, I bought:
one with vintage European travel posters
one with vintage Canadian train posters
For Christmas I received:
a Scrabble page-a-day calendar for work because I’m a Scrabble fiend
one with Tom Thomson art because I love the Group of Seven.
I had one of those a few years ago! I liked it. Splat! Hee!
Last year we had an X-Men calendar, which was a gift.
This year, oddly, we have no calendars. We usually get them as gifts for Christmas, but this year, no one got us one.
I feel kind of naked and scared. What day is it? WHAT DAY IS IT?! :eek:
on the porch wall calendar
get fuzzy small monthly calendar
eas, shoots & leaves daily calendar
little hallmark give a way monthly calendar
I have the Columban Catholic calendar on the wall in the kitchen at home.
I’ve got one showing historic photos of Auckland, another which is a friendship calendar (nice pics, nice sayings) and a “Spirit of Aotearoa” calendar. I’m pretty well sussed for telling which day of the week it is, now.

Oh, and I just wanted to tell CalMeacham what a great idea starting this thread was!

Great Minds Run in the Same Channel, they say.
I love the way the ad at the bottom is for “M.C. Escher prints”, even with only one mention in the thread.
For the…oh gosh, it’s got to be at least 5 years, though maybe more…years in a row, I have this one. I love the illustrations, and it’s way handy. I bought this one for my son, which amused us both. We also have three wall-hanging chinese ones, which are very pretty once the advertising is hidden.
I’m a history and map fan:

I have a Magic Eye calendar.
I love those things. I started getting one every year about 5 years ago.
(There are some examples of the 3D pictures if you wander around that link.)
Just like last year, I stared at a bunch of 'em and wound up buying the pretty Marc Chagall one.
Wall calendar with roller coasters - January is X at Magic Mountain, almost more fun to look at than to ride.
Page-a-day of America the Calendar (all your favorite moments of America the Book in convenient calendar form)
Page-a-day of Wacky Websites.
On the side of my cube at work I’ve got the AOPA Air Safety Foundation calendar.
For the month of January, it has a picture of a Cirrus SR22-GTS with the following Safety Tip:
Particularly with a new aircraft, be conservative when calculating critical measures such as takeoff of landing distances or fuel requirements. ASF recommends adding 50% to POH distances and at least an hour’s worth of reserve fuel for any flight.
I also see a factoid on Saturday that the first balloon flight across the English Channel occurred on January 7, 1785.
I put my daily notes in The Far Side Mating Rituals 2006 Desk Calendar.
