A recent post on penny arcade inspired me to start a nasty desk contest. I don't think Tycho's desk is that bad, and to prove it, I'm posting my co-worker's desk.

Can you beat this?

Mine would probably win right now.

But since I have at least one shred of dignity I wont post it.

Hopefully I will not be procrastinating tomorrow and will clean if off to set up my new display and mini which are still in the box.:rolleyes:

Two days too late. Two days ago I had to containers growing mold on my desk. :p My desk is still a mess, but minus a few microorganisms.

Sadly, I only clean my desk when my girlfriend is in town, or when I take a photo for the "Post your Mac setup" thread. I would get a photo if my camera wasn't broken now, because it's definitely at its worst. I've moved on to working on the bed from the desk, because it's impossible to use!

I don't remember where I saw it, but there was one picture of a desk I saw where it was all yellow and ash-laden from the guy smoking all the time. That is the nastiest desk I have ever seen.

Was it... this?

I don't know...it looks like the desk of a web developer I used to work with. He had a small 8 x 8 office, and he closed the door and smoked all day/night whenever he was in. You couldn't get within five feet without feeling dirty.

That's sick. Is that Booze on the right hand side? (Not that I'm critizing, when I posted my desk a few months back, I had a bottle of Whiskey in the shot).

Yeah, it's gin. So this guy has a cigarette ON HIS KEYBOARD, gin and mixer, a pack of Lucky Strikes, and Pepcid... no doubt something he has to take to counteract all of the booze and nicotine he's ingesting. :rolleyes:

I was wondering the same thing.

cigarettes and ash everywhere = no big deal
alcohol on your desk = no big deal
sodawater = no big deal
But friggin baked potatoes????? Thats just wrong man, just plain wrong.
