Dust Bunnies?

January 4, 2007 in Random | 6 comments

Under the guise of actually giving a shit what my house looks like I’m still in the process of cleaning. This has given me lots of time to think about things. After all the thinking about things I’ve done today I still haven’t found an answer for world peace or a cure for all those pesky diseases going around. But something did cross my mind earlier and I wanna run it by y’all because it’s bugging the living shit out of me right now.

Why the fuck are the little wads of dust under the bed called “dust bunnies”?

Why not “dust sheep” (since that’s what they actually look more like–sans head and feet of course)?

Or “dust cheetahs” (since they seem to be faster than a 125lb. blonde girl running after them furiously with the super-duper suction Dirt Devil)?

So why bunnies? Hmmm? My “dust bunnies” don’t even closely resemble rabbits…no ears, no whiskers. Do your dust bunnies look like…well…bunnies? Do I have abnormal dust bunnies in my house?

Mutant dust bunnies?

I think I may have a situation here people. Mutant-anything is never good…but mutant dust bunnies? I’m fucked. Do you even have the slightest idea how MANY there are in my house? I’m sitting on a total time-bomb bunny-bomb.

Shit.

P.S. This post may very well be the result of inhaling way to many cleaning supplies at one time.

    Apparently:

    “When little piles of dust turn into big piles of dust, they start to resemble small rabbits (or ‘bunnies’, from ‘bunny rabbit’). And like rabbits, dust seems to reproduce (grow) very quickly.”

    …so says, erm, some site or other.

    Happy New Y’arrr, an’ all that schtuff.

    When I read “Bunny Bomb” I actualled laughed out loud. I hate cleaning and that’s what I should be doing right now but obviously I’m not.

    The bunnies and I went to war last summer. I won by getting an iRobot…a Roomba. It is the best damn $200 I’ve ever spent. It vacuums by itself and when it runs out of charge it docks itself. I haven’t vacuumed a floor since July.

    And I haven’t seen any form of dust animal in months.

    Take that damn mutant dust formations!

    because the little fuckers multiply like bunnies do. You have 1 lonely wittle bunnie under the bed, go get the vac, come back and you have 80,000,000……

    Hugs,
