My desk display doesn't have too much in the way of stuff, but I do have a springy male hula dancer, an Animal (the muppet) magnet, some Mardi Gras beads, and a glass pig that I got at a pottery outlet in Williamsburg, VA when I was still in college.

I have a The Maxx action figure. A picture of Oz, one of my sisters and one of me and Jon. 3 comic drawings by my friend, puppet Angel, a COD: MW2 countdown clock and a couple of posters from our favorite Rockabilly/Dive-The Doublewide.

My desk isn't very geeky. I have a Mr. Incredible action figure, some models of old cars, and an F4U Corsair. And a picture of Zabriskie Point in Death Vally.

I don't have much for decoration. A lava lamp, an Atari 400 with a deceptive "Intel Inside" sticker, two posters from The Metropolitan Opera, boxes of various products I've worked on, and baseball caps from various companies I've worked for.

I guess ita is right to eat them: Proof that goats cannot be trusted

Professor Eustace P. Toffeynuts III, Ph.D., D.D.T., L.S.D., has produced a very important treatise on the freaky nature of goat eyes, their relationship to the freaky nature of octopus eyes and why both animals are clearly in league with Satan.

Goat Eye Syndrome is characterized by eyes afflicted with horrific horizontal pupils similar to those of cephalopods such as octopi, squid, or cuttlefish. The pupils of these beasts are approximately the shape of a kidney bean, but instead of dividing the eye vertically, in the manner of noble, trustworthy beasts such as tigers, bobcats, and snakes, the GES pupils transfix the eye horizontally. This is disgusting. The only other type of animal to display such disgusting, vomit-inducing eyes are the previously mentioned cephalopods (which have a long association with death from the murky depths and Cthulhu) and Kermit the Frog, who is a felt puppet created by Jim Henson, and should not be considered an example of an accurate representation of frog physiology.

I don't think I can compare my work environment to a typical office. I do have my OMWF poster on the wall (along with a ton of theater posters). But I also have a rack of costumes in the back, 4 big plastic bins with puppets, hats (including wizard and pirate), various props, etc. And, a big plastic bag full of stuffed animals including a 10 foot snake.

My desk is geeky, but it's girl geeky: [link]

Desk geekery: dinosaurs a la Wash, Serenity promo poster, Where the Wild Things Are framed card, tiny bat, tiara, picture of Tami Taylor (from FNL) beaming in my general direction. Oh, and a teapot featuring the evil queen from Snow White. Of course, I'm not in IT.

eta OMG, forgot my Animaniacs toys from McD's.

and a framed pic of Oscar the Grouch.

In case you didn't know, the Chevy Volt, a gamechanger extended range electric car, has its own song and dance.

Remember, you don't have to watch the whole think like it's a train wreck, stop viewing when your eyes and ears start to bleed.

I have very little desk-space to personalize, so the only non-work-related items on there are a BSG plastic "ice" cube, a Cyberman, and a picture of Dylan.
