This thread brought up a memory of days past.

If this next AppleScript wasn't so much fun to watch, it would almost be
categorized as a virus! xyz created this script that randomly moves your
desktop icons around the screen. After pasting it into the Script Editor,
save it as an application with the startup screen off, and "always stay
open" on.
on idle
try
tell application "Finder" to set AllItems to every item of desktop
repeat with AnItem in AllItems
set RX to random number from 60 to 750 --change these as desired
set Ry to random number from 60 to 750 --change these as desired
tell application "Finder" to set position of AnItem to {RX, Ry}
end repeat
on error
return 1 * 5
end try
return 1 * 5 --change these as desired
end idle
--Xtra : Save as stay open/application.
--Use Resedit to change file type to "appe".
--Open the Size resource scroll to only background,
--and switch this setting from 0 to 1
--Give it a fun icon and drop on your closed system folder.
--(to move to the Extensions folder)
--Restart. Have fun chasing your icons around. My 2 children love it.

a smile and a laugh at the time.
