Approaching 1,000 comments
You might not give two shakes of a lamb's tail, but this is a big milestone for Midnight Sun.
And as such, the person who posts the 1,000th comment gets one of the trinkets from my desk.
I haven't decided which one yet. But I might give the winner some options.
A brief inventory:
Brick Tamland and Champ Kind bobblehead dolls, a carrot-shaped pen, a can of Buzz Cola, tons of CDs, several small transforming robots, a miniature foam football, an empty cup of Squishee, a can of Izze sparkling grapefruit drink, chef's hat, a Frisbee, a box of Flakies cereal, a talking Popsicle Man bobblehead, a Chuck Woolery bobblehead, a tall, slim anniversary edition can of Diet Coke and various other Simpsons memorabilia.

I so want those Brick and Champ bobbleheads. In the meantime, I'll miss your musk.

And I thought my desk was pathetic...At least I have cube walls. Third walls are for closers, Sam.
Is that exposed asbestos on the ceiling there at the Sun?

Pathetic? cough. Asbestos? cough.
JTK, what are you talking about? cough.

The carrot-shaped pen has an appealing kind of quiet dignity.
