What do you see to the left of you, right now, this instant?
I see my window, overlooking the front walk and driveway. My wife's escape and my F250 are parked in the driveway. There's a squirrel hopping about looking for food.
-
A bookshelf; an old cpu and printer I need to do something about; a dead UPS; a four piece Sage fly rod in its case; and a Battenkill fly reel (Is it the third weekend in April yet?).

clowns to the left of me...jokers to the right...here I am, stuck in the middle with you...
-
Empty bag of chips been there about two months.
A gift bag from Christmas on top of my stereo I don't use anymore.

A floating shelf holding several wire mesh desk organizers. The organizers mostly hold my EDC stuff, other than my firearm. Above the shelf are two bass guitars hanging on the wall, with a Pink Floyd scarf pinned to the wall behind them. I need to wash the scarf. Below the shelf is a wooden peg rack holding several guitar cables and a VGA cable that snakes around the room to the TV. I can hook the VGA cable to my laptop for when I want to watch videos. Also to my left is my nightstand. There's an alarm clock on it, and a couple spindles of blank DVDs. Next to them is a holster velcroed to the top of the nightstand. The holster holds an XD .45, spare mag, and a liner lock knife.
Yeah, I'm loafing in bed with a cup of coffee and my laptop on one of those hospital tables that I found on Overstock.com.
Great table!!

A stack of laundry, a basket of laundry, a half bottle of cheap wine, a couple wineglasses, a roll of toilet paper (that one is a mystery to me), a camera and assorted cables, a rocking chair, and a fireplace stuff with stacks of books. No, we are not burning them, it's just a handy place to store them.

a roll of toilet paper (that one is a mystery to me)
When her allergies are going, my wife will grab a roll from the pantry even if she has to push aside a case of Kleenex to get to it.

My electromagnetic fields textbook, my binder for that class, and the handout regarding the design project I should be working on for that class (design a coaxial cable and a double-stub tuner). My girlfriend, who is also working on that same project herself...

I see the endless ravings of a bunch of lunatics, mindless beings locked in a stuggle between reality and fantasy, their only tangible link to sanity being the eternal question, "What's to the left?".

Oh yeah, and a swingline stapler.
I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were married, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire...

In conjunction with my living room, a bottle of wine, and a wineglass?
I've met some strange people, but that particular grouping of items goes beyond my experience. Ned?

If I was in the house when I hit this thread it would have been a wall to my left.
Snice I'm in the cabin taking a break from my morning in the garage I have a pretty good view.
I can see the garage, the wheel loader, the tractor, the golf cart, and a bunch of grass turning green just begging to be mowed once or twice a week for the rest of the year until it frosts.
Now if you would have said right I have a very nice view of the the waves hitting the bank right past the fire pit.

A sack of AR-15 mags and a S&W M&P 9mm. All loaded, of course. No, I'm not getting ready to go on a raiding party...

The bookshelves that line the entire back wall of the apartment. The shelf that is directly to my left and on my level is filled with my role playing books: DnD, Star Wars (both D20), and a loan first ed WFRP. Also my beloved wife's Stitch n' Bitch and Sudoku books, some photo albums, and some random magazines and old an old MCI for some damn reason. In front of them is a dragon hour glass given me by the mom of a girl I had a crush on, who apparently reciprocated but I was too dense to notice. Which worked out well, my beloved is far superior. =D
In front of that is a small end table with: a tape measure, a felt pen case, a hard case with a Sheaffer snorkel PdAg pen/pencil set (which I really need to sell), the dust cover from the copy of "Death in the Long Grass" I just got in the mail (amazing book, if you've never read it get it nao!), Kleenex box, big bottle of Hoppe's #9, Bore Snake in it's packaging (.45 I'm guessing but too lazy to pick it up), headphones, Sansa mp3 player, a headlamp, Zebra mechanical pencil (forget the model, the all metal one usable for self defense), a book for memory verses from church, my cell phone, my work crackberry, a letter from a friend, various receipts and notepads, and a balloon glass filled with Martinelli's sparkling apple-pomegranite.

Nancy Pelosi.
I knew she was getting some! But posting from bed? Kinky!
I see a Dora Dream House that I often trip over in my wife's office. The 2 year old carpet shark plays with it there.

Prove it.
The grue is a sinister, lurking presence in the dark places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.
-
Prove it.
My PFY's keep disappearing when I sent them into the comms closet. It's a useful test. You're not a true BOFH until you've strangled your first grue with some cat 5e.

I thought I was the only one with that problem. :lol:
They are also handy to test the halon systems. ;)
