If you have a computer desk! Lotsa folks have laptops, I reckon. I have a pack of tobacco and papers, an orange lighter, a wood pipe, my glasses, a whiskey bottle cap, an ink pen,a coverless issue of Fangoria, a grey Frankenstein mug with a Black Velvet swizzle stick in it, a Popeye spinach can with pens and index cards in it, a fruit jar, a Coca Cola glass mug, a Howdy Dowdy milk glass (has whiskey in it right now), 2 speakers, a metal painted Gloria Swanson candy box from 1928 that I stash my weed in, and a piece of paper to write s**t down if I need to. And a phone book. And a double 'A' battery.
Oh- a coaster with a 'Shock Monster' on it.
My current computer desk (at work) has my lunch strewn around me. Cheese sandwich, apples and a strawberry protein drink. Plus staplers, a tape dispenser, battery recycle box, hand sanitizer, etc.
A huge mess.
A brand new shrunken head. In fact it just arrived. I just got it from a pen pal of mine on a remote island. I remember telling him how annoyed I was by some of these missionaries who go around trying to convert me to their religion and he said he agreed.
PC, monitor, phone, underpants, 3TB hard drive, wallet, catalogue cards, a DVD of Death Drums Along The River, false teeth and my forearms and hands. :teddyr:
Did you wrap your false teeth in your old underpants?

Not quite my own computer desk, but I have my laptop, phone, ID and The Ulysses Quicksilver Omnibus. My usual desk at home is generally much more entertaining.
Half the time I have a cat on mine...

At home I have several DVD shelves on the desk, pics of Princess Diana, Tom Servo, Crow, some turtles hanging around, a poster of Chuck Norris in An Eye For An Eye and a portrait from a South African film called Die Kandidaat [The Candidate].
Also a certificate for attending a film school in 2011.

At home I have my almost complete collection of vintage Star Wars figures, my meds, assorted bits of paper that may at one random point in the future prove helpful, whatever figures I happen to be painting, a novel or three. Along the top of my monitor are glued various random small action figures (some horror icons, few wrestlers). The back edge has another collection, this time Lego Star Wars figures. I also have a Star Trek phasor kicking around and sometimes we are the wife duel with them, since she has one too, as well as a water pistol to squirt at the cat if it is about to climb in somewhere it shouldn't.
It is vitally important not to confuse which gun is used on whom, as Kristi get's upset if I squirt her with the water pistol.
Oh and a more recent addition, something to distract Ash from touching all of the other stuff on my desk. Just behind my desk I have my signed pictures of Erin Grey and Sam Jones.
Occasionally I can fit my keyboard onto my computer desk.
I don't have a computer desk, exactly, but, well, on my work desk is....virtually nothing. Mostly a bare wood surface, no personal mementos, no Calvin and Hobbes tea mug, no drawings from my children, no mini TARDIS, no slim volume of Chesterton's poems or The Picture of Dorian Gray, no E.A. Poe bobblehead, no letter opener in the form of a Hello Kitty, nothing non-work related at all, just a work-only computer, a college-ruled paper notebook, some pens, some paper files and notes, a few sample flyers for an art show coming up in Krakow, that's about it, all as bland as vanilla in vanilla sauce, with vanilla sprinkles on a white plate under white light. I tend to be a carefully private person in my work environment and I think my desk reflects that.
Heck I tell more about myself in here in a random thought post than I do to those I work with for half a year or those living down the road from me.

Shame you couldn't have gone and picked it up in person.
My home computer is hooked up to my 60 inch tv set in the living room. It sits on a bench with no room for anything else. Surrounding my computer on the floor is a mishmash of cables and wires.

Not really. In 1981 they tried to kill the crew of a stranded Dutch ship and about a decade ago murdered two fishermen who'd anchored offshore. None of those people were on the island and none were trying to "change" them. They sound like xenophobic savages who'd be much improved by hearing the love one another message of Jesus.

Chances are, given these people have been isolated from the rest of the world for so long that contacting them would unfortunately quite quickly lead to them being decimated by modern diseases since they will have no resistance to them. Given this and how hostile they are to the rest of the world I think just leaving them alone would be the best thing to do, although I'd love to know just why they are so aggresive towards outsiders. You'd have thought curiosity alone would have led to one non-violent encounter.
Hell, would you want to be a part of all this! :buggedout:
I saw on the news that a missionary over on some island near India -it was against the law. They warned him-'If you go there, they will kill you." And they did.

Yeah, but according to what they told us in school that missionary died as a martyr, which means he's floating around Heaven happy as.... Wait, he was a Protestant, wasn't he? Nope, nope, straight to Hell. Zoom!

Maybe we could send fine christian Matt shea to preach to them that they must accept Christianity and submit to christian law or all tneir males will be killed and their women and property taken as spoils of just and righteous war under biblical law.

I have this theory, the guano-crazzzy savages actually understand contagious disease theory, and they understand, as the suicidal thumper didn't, that by breathing in their general direction he might've wiped out their weak and pristine immune systems with his superior germ resistance and so that's why the lesser savages kilt 'im with their Geena Davis-like archery skills.
I'm all in favor of border defense, after all.
Umm, I read your link between Brit Floyd pledge breaks, Sven, and, yes, we should definitely send that man to the island. With you 100-percent. Maybe we could set up a direct flight there, parachute the right people down....? Just sayin'? Maybe make a reality series, Trevor or Indy might know some people to get it started? I'm sensing my kids' education getting paid for this way Who,-hoo, me likee these unclad savages!
Historically yes, euopreans evolved a stronger than normal immune system as a result of the black plague, and became resistant to many diseases that were orevelant in europe and other peoples in other lands had little resistance ce too.
Smallpox devastated the indigenous populations of north america and Hawaii.
Maybe Christians think that native populations should be willing to accept plagues, decimations and the annihilation of their culture and way of life as a fair price to lay to be brought under jesus' dominion, I understand they may disagree.

I know, man, as a European (sort of) I used to resent Asians for sending us the Black Death, but I got over it.
You shore do spend a lotta time talking about a God you say isn't real, man.
Eew, Brit Floyd's back on!
f**k man. We 'civiliized' (and I'm sure I spelt that wrong) folks kill each other on a massive scale. I wouldn't wan't us stupid, crazy f**kers around either!
Dam! Just leave them the f**k alone!
Oh yeah- what's on your computer desk?
Mine- much the same as it was the day I posted this. With the addition of a M'm! M'm! Good! Soup mug.
I have whiskey and tea in it. Otherwise it's exactly the same.
Mothballs. My computer room smells like mothballs. Because there are 3 old coat closets that smelled like old lady clothes when we moved in. The woman who sold it to us had it built in 1940.
But it has a large window right in back of me. :smile:
I got a chair next to the window so the cat can look outside. :cheers:
