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 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.

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.
