Here ye!! Here ye!! By order of the Queen of Pointless Posting (and don't forget - flippant floralilian flimflammery) - this decree is hereby written:
Let it be known to all who enter here that this entry doth officially mark the opening of
{{...the sound of blaring trumpets...}}
The Official Grande Desktop Tour
as was royally promised here...and here....
Let it also be known and addressed to all, that the Queen is fully aware that this posting does not fully meet the true criteria of pointlessness - being that the desks of tour, and their computers thereon, are in fact, necessary to the process of posting - pointlessly or otherwise.
Therefore, the Queen has so ordered the immediate and overly elaborate posting herewith to include a bunch of pointless verbosity, pomp and circumstance (this would be the bells and whistles part) to go along with said tour, in order to satisfy the said criteria of pointlessness..(big inhale)... thereby maintaining the self-proclaimed status as Queen of posting pointlessly, as well as pointless postings. (go ahead, just you try - i can go on like this for hours....)
Let it also and finally be known to all, that the Queen doth hereby extend her royal thanks to all who were brave enough to join this cause, as well as those who tried to join said cause, but do not have a camera....but the aforementioned "thanks" does not go out to those who just simply - wimped out. (ahem. tap...tap...tap..)
Of course...special dispensation will be granted to those who humbly ask forgiveness after seeing how much fun they are missing - and now want to join the cause. (in other words, if you send it - I will post it..)
If there is anyone the queen dideth miss - please let her know! ( hey - I might be queen, but (shockingly) am not infallible!)
And so, without further adieu....{{ pulling back the curtain....}}
Please, if you would be so kind - click on the provided links...and be nice, and leave a comment...
Let the grande royal desktop tour now begin!!!
(P.S. A special royal thanks must be extended to the good fairies of beta j-land...who made this 25k character limit possible, thereby granting this foolishness and my pointless ramblings to reach literary mach speeds and distances. Sigh...aren't they just dreamy...?)

Excellent post. (Hear: Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure) Not a chance in Floraliliadom you'll ever see a pic of my desk. Genius at work, and you KNOW what that looks like! that goes for all my other selves, too-- maybe not as genius, but definitely... well, uh,... you know. Imagine what u will.
brat...now i really want to see it!!
This was great! I was happy to see Steven admit to having a dusty desk...I have one of those too!!! If you dod a repeat/rerun I'll photograpy my dusty desk :)
well - come on viv! send me your link!! it's never too late..
whew. i'm tired..and now going to bed....'till the morrow, my good folks...
Thanks for putting this list together. Perfect timing to get mine on there. Thank U HUBBY for my beautiful, hand crafted desk for me to show off to J~Land. LOL and the only reason folks my desk looks so clean is cuz it was just put up, you should of seen the before pics heehee.
YIKES!! Sadly, the picture of my desktop (MTheaded Rambling) is just a fond memory. I've got (count 'em) 5 partially full cans of Diet Barq's, two coffee cups, 2 video tapes, a myriad of papers that shoulda been tossed, another myriad of papers that needed attention ASAP... and that's just the top layer. Sheesh!! OK, I'll clean my desk today! LOL!!
Being an island boy, I don't have a true desk to add to your own desk tour ... just some floating debris I assembled, held together by rubber bands. I'll send you a pic of it though ;-). David
LoL ... this is a GREAT post. Very Queen-Like.. and I'm proud to have been involved. Dem desks rock, woman! :D
Too funny! Enjoyed your "grand announcement" and all the subsequent comments. Also fun to see everyone's work space. Thanks for the great job!
Your Majesty, I psted my son`s puter...Have no camera!!
Vince
the queen is impressed royally with each and every one of you! Glad you are enjoying the ride...
(When i said comment - i meant at the sites..you silly persons, you...)
and you there!! - cease and desist the song of "99 bottles of beer on the wall" at once! or i will have your head on a silver platter...
What a cute and fun idea! I'll have to see what I can do.

Wait! wait! is it mandatory to have dragonfly desk lamp at the workspace??/ It's starting to look like a fire sale. Work areas are suppose to be MESSY. move on folks..

joanne - it usually is messy - but blame mom for having to straighten it up before the pic...its all her fault...
I'm late to this party but what a trip! Heh, no one gets to see my lap, I don't care if the grand desk tour train leaves me! =P
