there are PLENTY of people here that i avoid as it is. the last thing i need is a reason for them to stop at my desk and try to chat me up about where i got "that little turtle statue" or if i knew "where that postcard was taken."

no.
I found it hilarious that you guys bitch about coworkers talking to you at your desk, but post messages on a message board that pretty much reflect the exact same banality. Tit for tat.
Quoteno.

is it "hilarious?" do you laugh out loud at it and kinda tear up? is it SO funny that you share these stories with friends and family at the supper table and everyone gets a good chuckle out of it? banality- nice word power, nerd

Yes.
And your ubiqitous, generic yet stylized reply is also full of jocularity. I am guffawing at the very intrinsic value of your mastery of the English language.

We'll get along fine.
Wow. And I thought just Pearl Jam fans were dicks. Why don't you all knock it off and give each other a little love?
I have Kinder Egg toys and White House contraband on my desk.
(cracks knuckles)
Let's see if I can get this right. We're being compared to PJ fans....because the obvious was pointed out? Sorry, no sale.

i'd need to get stuffed into about 38 more lockers to understand a word of that :-/
I'll take that as a compliment. ;)
i'm on the internet with johnconaway :)
i don't have a bit..my supervisor next to me has about 50 stuffed animals and a bunch of fake plants/flowers...when people that don't work here walk by they sometimes make a comment about how empty my cubicle is compared to hers...i just force a tiny smile, shrug, and mentally flip them off and think about songs that i like and they walk off and i resume what i'm doing then at night i track down the people making the comments and watch them eat donuts until they slumber and if i'm really feeling crazy i walk home

I like that "cracks knuckles" part. As though I was trying to send you to the burn unit of the trauma center. Hey tough guy, it was a joke. Believe me, if I really wanted to, I could sell you a used tampon.

she honestly thinks i'm just checking my work email i think..because everytime i'm about to start something or i'm in between stuff with nothing to do she'll make some comment about "going ahead and checking your mail, it's no rush" (and i NEVER get work emails so i dunno why she even thinks i spend that much time on it)...and there have been days that i've literally done 30 minutes or less of work, especially in the summer when i'm there about 9.5 hours a day/4days a week...i just wonder what she thinks i'm doing, or if she even thinks about it at all

But it's not about what other people think, it's about making a space your own and feeling comfortable in it. I have a picture of my kids on my desk and when I get tired or grumpy they remind me why I'm working. I also have a picture of an angler holding a big fish with the motto "Seize the carp" below it. Nobody but me thinks that's funny but I don't care.
i killed a carp with an oar once :(
In the land of decisions, only Bink can prevent forest fires :|

this is why i have a bean bag and foot massager next to my desk.
real stuff: some great pix that make me think of not being at work, a photo of the beer samper i had at the fair last summer, a jonathan richman postcard, a bumper sticker from vintage vinyl in st. louis.
seize the carp...i think thats funnny. john conway must be the most inteligent sox fan ive never met.
how do i join that fishing brigade? cubs fans not allowed?
will i vere bee a senior member?
