Other Desk
Might as well do the same for the desk here at work, though this one has a LOT more stuff, so I'll just give a list. It's also not quite as sentimental and more a travelogue of places I've been.

2 x 2" Statues of Liberty
2" Big Ben
2" Eiffel Tower
hand carved Weeping Buddha

gong
Day of the Day band (the holiday, not the movie)
The Mach 6 Happy Meal toy
2" Koln Cathedral (if you look really close, you can see me being mugged at the side door)
2" Strasbourg Cathedral (no mugging, but if you look on the roof you can see me gasping for breath after climbing a couple hundred stairs to be closer to God)
A Series of Unfortunate Events Magic 8 Ball

These posts would be so much sexier with PIX!!!
I finally obtained a cell phone in 2005. It does not have a camera on it. I do not own a digital camera either. I am a Luddite.
As a completionist, I can't help but notice that you have plaid shirt and Hare Krishna, but are lacking the Flyboy figure. Try tracking that one down, and a nice little company called Amok Time has just released a Bub figure. And in the coming months, Dr. Tongue will be forever enshrined in plastic.
Also, guess what my desk has on it. A box with Vincent Van Gough on the sides. And within? A bottle filled with a tasty fluid, reserved for one Doctor K-Paff.
I'm hit and miss with figures. Some are given to me as gifts, and some are impulse purchases.
But that is an awesome bottle, set for awesome adventures!
Well I am a king of gift giving and impulse buying, so the second I see one, it'll be yours. Same goes for the bottle.
Aww, you're just too cute! You need a nickname like "My Little Blonde Wolverine"!
"Check His Pulse and Make Sure He's not Dead-Guy" doesn't quite capture it. Well, it captures part of it, but not the nice, gift-giving part!!
