No! No longer shall we remove the mess from our workspaces because some faceless politician demands it! No longer shall we sweep the odds and ends of productivity into a wastebasket!

TO ARMS, MY COMRADES!!! TO ARMS!!!

I like my desk cluttered and as is thanks

My lap is my desk, so I have no clutter aside from cookie crumbs that get brushed off when I finally stand up.

Here's a desk. Make it messy.

I guess it should've been National Give Your Friend A Desk Day....

I always thought getting told to clean your desk meant you were being fired.
Yesterday was the first time this year that we had a Code Red day in Victoria (risk of catastrophic bushfire) so happy (?) Code Red day.

exactly! Why would someone celebrate that?

i dont have a desk coz i dont work...

so that doesnt apply to me right? im so not gonna clean my dad's one..

i wouldn't. Thats just silly.

and alot of extra work for me too....

and im kinda not so good at organising desks...

Me neither. My own is messy and I like it that way!

did you know that sometimes you really find stuff easier if its unorganised rather than organised?

this is still following the topic right?

Actually I believe the topic was about the holiday itself, but whatever. It's a stupid holiday.

I find stuff better and fast my messy way.

i have an organized mess, and as long as i'm the one who takes care of it i can find what ever i want pritty quick.
i did take the 8 fortoun cookie fortouns off my key board, it was getting hard to type, and i'll have to do something about the notes and maps under my keaboard soon, its getting lifted up a bit.
but i regularly take out the empty plates and cups, once i'm done with them. i cant remember why i have a lighter or my sons 'cell phone' here... there are also pens and pencels on my key board, but thats so that i can jot quick notes on the paper that is under it.
then there is the calculator and the chopsticks i keep handy incase i need them... by the way i'm only listing things with in (let me get my ruler) 5inch of my key board, i get 1/2 the desk but it would take too long to list every thing i keep on my 1/2. OH look theres my clip i was looking for that last week. rewetting drops for the contacts i hardly wear, precision screwdriver for my glasses and a remote for the heater.


so whats on your deask?

updated as it is a new day

I have yet to figure that part out...

The Dance of the Cuckoos was the theme song for Laurel and Hardy. Cuckoo Dancing Week is a celebration to honour Laurel and Hardy. It's a celebration I could get into for sure.

Updated to reflect a new day

I had to go looking for Togo as the name didn't ring any bells.

http://mashable.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/togo.png

It's, well, not exactly significant. (I mean no offence)
I'm not sure if January 13 is still their Independence Day anymore.

Togo's original Independence Day from France (27 April 1960) is to be literally re-written back in to the history books. Under Gnassingbe Eyadema, Independence Day was celebrated on the 13 January, the day he seized power in a 1967 coup. Independence Day celebrations on the 27 April are due to take place Thursday for the first time in nearly three decades. (UN Integrated Regional Information Networks, posted to allafrica.com April 26, 2006 )

DeSal, why don't you update this the old drizztix used to with his "new question every day" thread? Quote your first post and edit it with the new celebration. Easier for us all.


Just a thought. :)

i like that thought. then we dont look like we are randomely changeing the subject when its a new holliday

oh and that song "happy hollidays" gets stuck in my head every time i look at this thread haha, just thought i'd share that

How bout' Hug An Asian day? That way I could be loved...

Ratification day doesn't seem to say much, lets see what it is about:

You would think Ratification Day would be a big deal in the USA.

LEts Celebrate!!!
(sorry for not updating for a day or 2, Mods, If you want to help update then you can pm me and I will provide you with links to my many sources)

Desal... Not that it's not for a great cause and all, because it is, but isn't your sig advertising? I don't mean to pick, it just seems a little unfair that you can pick and choose what it is you advertise as long at you find it important. (Not that it's not, since I AM a Red Cross Volunteer and have the utmost sympathy for all those poor families.)

Just seems very bias to me...

Benjamin Franklin. A man I can admire.

http://scrapetv.com/News/News%20Page...n-franklin.jpg

His achievements were far too numerous to list here, but perhaps the most outstanding was that he lived to the age of 84. He was overweight and prone to gout and although he extolled the virtues of hard work and chastity, he obviously did most of his work with his mind and fathered an illegitimate son by a lady unknown and had a common-law marriage with Deborah Read who had been abandoned by her husband.

I would imagine Ben enjoyed a good life of rich food, fine wine and a pipe or two of tobacco while contemplating matters of importance. In other words, he lived a life that by modern standards would be unhealthy and somewhat scandalous, but he lived his full measure and left his mark on the world.

Happy Birthday Benjamin Franklin.

Don't forget, he loved is women and collected several bits of...art, with various beautiful unclothed women. I have to agree that he's most admirable, for ALL of these reasons.

yes, ben is getting quite old....

Happy Kid inventers Day, to all the parents who didnt say "what the ... what were you thinking??? you put all of this back the way it was RIGHT NOW or SO HELP ME!!!" ...... "what were you trying to do anyway??"
