And The Winner Is ...

These "Caption This" contest are getting harder and harder to judge because you Bunnies are always so damn funny and clever. But I must pick only one lucky recipient of the coveted (?) DustBunny of the Day award - and the winner is...

Having not learned her lesson 40 years ago, Violet Beauregard returned to the Chocolate Factory and scarfed down the untested "Ass Backwards Candy," with tragic results.

DustBunny Soulbrotha pulls out another win!! Darling, please come collect your prize...

As for the Pabst Green Ribbon Runner Up award, all who participated are getting the (definitely not) coveted Green Beer Can. Congrats to DustBunnies Sassy, Tom A., new commenter Scott Frederick, Tugboat and Miss Ginger for your meritorious (and funny-as-hell) efforts. 

Feel free to check out everyone's comments HERE.

Comment Of The Week

Amber LeMay - of the fabled House of LeMay - cracked me up yesterday with one of her comments. Her words written in response to THIS "Can" post...

... and referenced THIS "PostalPapi" post...

And here's what Amber had to say:

"Hmmm... if only he NEW a MAN who was a postal employee (the handsome man from the previous post?) who could take his USPS truck to Michigan where he could get twice as much back... just sayin'."

The absolute best comments are the ones which make me go "DAMN! Why didn't I think of that?!?" And as a huge Seinfeld fan, that's exactly the reaction I had after reading what Amber's hysterical words.

It's Important To Set Goals for Yourself ...

Aim high, buddy! Wait ... um ... scratch that. Bad choice of words...

Totally Non-Homophobic Comment from a Total Non-Homo

this is XXXXXXX XXXXX,, & i just want all u to know that i do not and did not approve my pictures on any gay orientated site!!! i am a absolutely straight man,, and love woman 100%. apparently some idiot stole my pictures and posted em on here.i am not homophobic,, but yet i do not approve any thing to do with the gay community, sorry 

A few things: 

Seriously – capitalization and punctuation should be your friend. Or do you also not want to be associated with the Grammatically Correct Community? On a related note,, what is up with the double-commas? Are you simply stupid,, or were your fingers trembling with rage while you were typing?

Hmmm … most straight men would simply say they are straight and not feel the need to add the thing about loving women “100%”. Was there a time when you only loved women 65%? The lady doth protest too much, methinks. 

FYI: Your pictures were not “stolen”. They were posted on a public modeling site and can be viewed and/or copied by anyone. If you don’t want your pictures “stolen”, then don’t post them on public sites. BTW – most models would kill for their profile to be viewed by 3,000 to 4,000 people per day – and many models personally thank me for featurning them. 

Your “non-homophobic” comments sure sound homophobic to me. When a sentence begins with “I am not a __ fill in the blank __" , this usually means the next words are going to be whatever it is you say you're not. For example: “I am not a racist, I simply hate black people”. Or, “I am not a homophobe, I just don’t want anything to do with filthy queers”. See how that works??? 

Also, your totally non-homophobic comment should go over REAL well in the straight male-dominated world of fashion. 

Finally, there is a statement at the bottom of my blog stating that if you would like your pictures removed from DavidDust, simply send me an email and I’ll remove them. But instead of sending an email, you tried to coment on the blog post which featured you … twice. I guess so all those women you love 100% will know that you're totally not gay. Needless to say, I never published those comments – but I DID delete your pictures, as well as the links to your modeling information. That way no homosexual photographers, stylists, casting directors or fashion editors could see your pictures here on DavidDust and then contact you regarding some deviant homosexual photoshoot which might benefit your modeling “career”.

You’re welcome. 

Comment Drama

There is some kind of problem with Blogger today which is preventing me from moderating/posting comments.  However, feel free to keep commenting, because eventually they'll get the system working and your juicy little love notes will be posted.

Anybody Out There???...

Was it something I said?!?  In the last 16 hours I have received exactly one ... count 'em ... ONE comment from my lovely Dust Bunnies.  Has everyone given up on blogs and moved permanently to BookFace??  Cat got your tongue?  Do I smell???  All of the above???...

This, coupled with the Twitter glitch today which left everyone with "zero" followers has made me feel somewhat unloved   :)

Yeah ... I'm needy that way...

>P,B!


UPDATE:  There ARE some Dust Bunnies out there!!!!!  Thanks for your comments, my lovelies...

2 Million Page Views!

That's right people - DavidDust hit the 2 million page views mark sometime last week!!  That means in the less than 15 months (since I installed my Statcounter), 2 million pages of my little bloggie have been viewed by you fierce biatches!

I would truly like to thank each and every one of you for stopping by - and for your continued support.

One of my favorite posts over the past few months was one where I asked DustBunnies who always read but have NEVER commented to "check in" and tell us who you are.  I am a complete stalker of my Feedjit thingy (screen capture below) - which shows me, in real time, as people log on and off of DavidDust.  I sometimes notice the same towns over and over and wonder "Who are these Fierce Biatches??"

So, if you have never commented before - PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT TELLING US WHO YOU ARE AND WHERE YOU LIVE and anything else you might want to add.

FYI: you can no longer comment anonymously, but getting a Blogger account is free, quick and easy.  Just click on the weird orange "B" at the upper left corner of this page and they'll walk you through it.

I would ESPECIALLY like to hear from NYC DustBunnies, and Bunnies from Pennsylvania (where I was born and raised).  Chambersburg?  Coatesville?  I know you're reading - please say "Hi!!".

Anywhore ... thanks again for everything. I heart every single one of you.

>P,B!

(Peace, Biatch!)

Monday Weigh-In: True Confessions

Things aren't going great for me right now. There are money issues (again), I've stopped watching what I eat, and I've only walked home once or twice in the past month. As a result, I've gained back the weight I lost after I went to see the doctor last month. And speaking of my doctor, I blew off my follow-up appointment and haven't rescheduled.

I feel like a huge loser right now. In fact, I hope my "Anonymous" hater leaves me another nasty comment about how fat and disgusting I am - maybe it would motivate me to do something.

A Note To Comment Trolls...

For all you “Christian” Fundamentalists, Right-Wing Gasbags, Birthers, Teabaggers, Homophobes, and/or People Who Think I’m Disgusting – let me explain the rules…

If you leave a comment ranting about your ideals (or about how disgusting I am), I may or may not publish it – depending on my mood.

If I DO publish your comment, my fabulously intelligent and witty Dust Bunnies will probably shout you down and talk about your idiocy with THEIR comments. This will make me giggle.

I will NOT, however, publish any of your follow-up rants. DavidDust is not a forum for Douchnozzles. It is a venue for us to talk about you like the idiots you are. And every time I hit “Reject” on one of your subsequent comments, I will giggle some more.

Carry on...

Someone TOTALLY Wants Me!...

I received a comment recently from "Anonymous", who sends me similar love notes from time to time. Seriously, this dude wants me BAD...

The comment below was left on my latest Project Runway recap post. Needless to say, I didn't publish it - because our love is a private and beautiful thing that should only be shared between the two of us. However, I can't keep "us" a secret anymore, and I have chosen to bring our relationship out into the light for all to see...

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Project Runway Episode Three - Where's Michael Kor...":

Here you go again, with your nastiness toward talented people. Do you own a mirror? You're a huge, overweight, ugly man with bad teeth, squinty eyes, morbid addictions to a. men who will NEVER fuck you and b. food that's transparently deadly. You know nothing about fashion, as evidenced by your pictures. You're too lazy and pathetic to go to a gym or even a doctor. You should kill yourself. You're a huge ugly wart on society. Think about that and cry yourself to sleep every night as you should instead of turning on people who take care of themselves. I bet your breath stinks too.

OMG ... isn't he ADORABLE - with all his compliments and words of advice?!?

Seriously darling - stop playing hard-to-get and send me your street address. I'll come right over and give you EXACTLY what you want and deserve. Hard. Again and again and again. But remember, my dear, that true love sometimes hurts ... A LOT.

P.S. - Don't worry, I'll bring Breath Mints!!

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Commendable Comments

As I’ve mentioned many times before, I love getting comments – just like most other Bloggers. And I’ve found that you – members of the great BunnyNation – leave some of the most intelligent, hysterical, and sweetest comments EVAH! Thanks to each and every one of you who has taken the time to type a few words here on the blog.

In order to highlight some of the most notable commentary, I’d like to introduce a new series of posts called “Commendable Comments”. I will do this occasionally to highlight the best-of-the-best comments from the previous few days.

One of the funniest comments I’ve gotten in a while comes from awesome Blogger Miss Alaineous. In response to THIS post…


… she remarked:

oh shit gives a new meaning to the phrase 'standing o'

ROFLMAO!!!

In reference to today’s “Daddy of the Day” – Jaime Rodrigo…

Jeve (AKA John & Steve) left this comment:

We do a daddy of the month as well on our blog...a little different i guess. : )

It turns out their blog is about GAY PARENTING! Yep, they’re working with a whole different “Daddy” concept.


Finally, I would just like to thank the members of the BunnyNation for “having my back” when I was faced with the threat of a potentially angry Magician. If you recall, I received an email from Max Maven (below) after I snarked about him in my last Top Chef Masters recap. In response to his email, I did a blog post saying that I was afraid I might get turned into a toad! Here were some of your “supportive” words…

Psychomom – “don’t fuck with magic”

Howard - "ROFLMAO. David is askerred!"

The Minx - "LOL!!! he might want to saw you in half or something...."

Dan – "Girl - you done it now!"

Ken - "Might pay to lay low for a while, at least until the next episode :o)"

Nutwood Beth - "Ruh-roh! David, we hardly knew ye!"

Frogponder - "LOLOLOLOLOL! Honey, you can come live in my pond."

Joy - "You're doomed! Doomed as doomed can be, I must say! (in my best Ed Grimley voice). I'm sure FP will let you live in her pond and provide a nice home for you."

THANKS A LOT, people! I’m glad that the possibility of an Amphibian David Dust amuses you!

Only my dear Mother tried to defend me … in her own special way:

Deare Mr. Maven - Please don't hurt my little boy -- he didn't mean no harm. Even when he was just a little dust mite he didn't know when to shut up his mouth (or his laptop). I don't know why he is just so ignernt but please don't hurt him -- he's the only gay son I have!

Thanks Mama Bunny – I love you too.

"Dear David Dust" - Comments From Cuties

Way back in December I did a post entitled White Meat Mud Volleyball, which showed a bunch of cute guys playing a muddy game of volleyball. This was obviously just a gang of friends, and it was apparent (to me, anyway) that these guys were straight. After all, do you really think a bunch of queens would enjoy getting this dirty? I don’t think so.

Anywhoo, I recently got an anonymous comment, supposedly from one of the cuties in the picture:

Anonymous said...
Hi my friends and I are actually in the pictures here and we were not aware that we were actually on this website. We are all straight so sorry guys...but are very excited to be on the website.

September 4, 2008 2:34 PM


Granted, this comment could be from ANYONE – but if it IS one of the guys in the picture, I think it’s cool that he’s happy to have his picture on DavidDust.

A Word About Comments...

First of all I LOVE COMMENTS. All Bloggers do - it's validation that we've done something that others like (or hate). And I seem to be needier than most when it comes to wanting comments...

Over the last couple of weeks, I have heard grumblings (here and elsewhere) about comments not posting. So here is some information regarding commenting on DavidDust:

I "moderate" my comments mostly to keep homophobic assholes, porn spammers, and lunatics at bay. I don't do it to "censor" my Dust Bunnies, but on a few rare occasions I HAVE declined a comment because it was just a little TOO much. Again, this is an extremely rare phenomenon. So PLEASE don't be shy - I don't bite (unless you want me to).

I check my blog MULTIPLE times during the day, so if you do not see your comment after a few hours, it might not have gotten to me. PLEASE, if you have the time, send it to me again. The only time that it may take a few hours or more would be at night or on a weekend where I don't have computer access. Plus, if you check back - you may find that I have written a GEM of a reply - maybe something extremely witty or wise. Or not.

Lastly, did I mention that I LOVE comments? I did?!? Ok.

XOXOXO
