Spring Cleaning

by Prongs on November 10, 2009

Stefanie had been looking for it for months, so she was thrilled when she finally found her ring under the bed. Of course, her discovery made her realize that she should really clean more often.

I's can't see but me thinks you be holding a turnip?

Nice dust bunny, Stefanie H.

Der Ring des Nibbleonbun

2 Leilani 11.10.09 at 8:59 am

Yikes. I thought that bun was a kitty.

3 jenben 11.10.09 at 9:00 am

its FLUFFY!
i want to use him to put on my powder in the morning.

4 Kar 11.10.09 at 9:01 am

“Der Ring des Nibbleonbun?” !snerk!

Good one!

BTW, where are the eyes? (checks under fur)

5 Andrew 11.10.09 at 9:03 am

Aaaarrrgh! Too… much…. puffy-bunniness….. *nose bleed*

6 Katrina 11.10.09 at 9:09 am

What is that?

It could be solely made of hair/fur-does it have internal organs?

7 Queen of Dork 11.10.09 at 9:10 am

Oh good grief. I just totally aaawwwwwwed out loud! This is too much. If I faint how will I be Nurse Stef and help others out? Such as Andrew. *applying compress to nose bleed*

8 Queen of Dork 11.10.09 at 9:11 am

*looked again, dang it*

*thud*

9 ScoutsMom 11.10.09 at 9:13 am

I didn’t realize that fur balls were actually real, but this totally looks like a ball of fur with a tiny mouth. Cute!

10 Jikuu 11.10.09 at 9:14 am

I really appreciate the hypertext. My bunny seems to suffer from this lack of sight issue as well. Wag greens around her and she spends forever trying to find them. Such a cute specimen on display today, though.

11 Queen of Dork 11.10.09 at 9:17 am

Katrina: Not only does it appear to be void of internal organs, it seems not to have any eyes either. Lots of whiskers though. It sort of looks like a mixture of a kitten and a bunny. A kibun I guess.

12 chanpon 11.10.09 at 9:19 am

Well, these ringwraiths don’t look so bad after all……I wouldn’t mind a dozen of these chasing after me.

13 resriechan 11.10.09 at 9:24 am

I”m rather enjoying the Down-turned Mouf of Harrumphness, meself !!!

Hey, QoD– what do the captions say this person/ biped in the picture is named, hmmmmmmmm????????

14 Elisha B. 11.10.09 at 9:25 am

Aaawwwww, made me chuckle with delight!! I have many dust bunnies but none as cute as this. May I have this one to show the others how it’s done?

15 Queen of Dork 11.10.09 at 9:26 am

Resrie: Stefani!!!! (even though I spell mine different…still cool).

Nurse Stef, signing off.

16 Rachael 11.10.09 at 9:29 am

Are we sure it’s a bun? I guess the disapproving mouf is the giveaway.

None of my dust bunnies have any personality. *sulk*

17 resriechan 11.10.09 at 9:33 am

@ Rachael: “BUT YOU DO !!!” ;)

(and they have a lot o’ fuzziness, to make up for it, don’t they???? ;) )

18 KIttehsMom 11.10.09 at 9:58 am

That’s EVERY excuse not to clean underneath the bed!!! How long do I have to wait for that dust bunny to materialize????? Me want one NOW!!

19 AmyJ 11.10.09 at 10:09 am

Elisha B, exactly what I was going to say. My dust bunnies are not nearly so cute. I leave them for a very long time to see if they will grow cuter but that doesn’t seem to work…

Are we totally sure this isn’t a fuzzy Pokemon creature?

20 LovesDogs 11.10.09 at 10:10 am

Dust bunnie? Dust kittie??? It looks slightly like a kittie.

21 Von Zeppelin 11.10.09 at 10:10 am

Might be a tribble.

22 Skip 11.10.09 at 10:12 am

Kibun, haha! Cute.

23 Paunchie 11.10.09 at 10:16 am

Aha! I couldn’t see the eyes either until I stared at the photo a while. Juuust above the bandit mask! You see a liddle dot?

24 Katiedid 11.10.09 at 10:23 am

“I am King of the Dust Bunnies! That is not ring, that is my crown!”

25 alwayscataddict 11.10.09 at 10:24 am

I don’t know – with that bandit mask and all, I think that bunneh is staging a hold up for the ring….

26 Not That Mike The Other Mike 11.10.09 at 10:25 am

One Ring to rule them all,
One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring the awww
and in the cuteness bind them.

27 Queen of Dork 11.10.09 at 10:26 am

Nah. Tribbles are rounder. I have a tribble and he’s much more spherical. I think it’s a kibun.

28 Queen of Dork 11.10.09 at 10:27 am

Maybe it’s a Hobbit’s foot.

29 jen 11.10.09 at 10:28 am

omg *holds head in hands* i can’t bear the fuzzulence. i’m ded.

30 Deb! 11.10.09 at 10:39 am

This raccoon/bunlet/persian could pass for a toy!

CUTE!!!!!!!!

31 ceejoe 11.10.09 at 10:41 am

omg, such qteness is deadly… makes me want to have a bunneh again…
no, no! not w 11 kittehs and 2 guinea piggehs… it would keel me from exhaustion

32 Kristabelle 11.10.09 at 10:46 am

Why don’t MY dust bunnies ever turn out this cute????

*pouts*

33 doxnsox 11.10.09 at 10:46 am

I don’t get it!! SOMEONE FIGURE OUT THE SECRET

34 BrianW 11.10.09 at 10:48 am

Now that there is a good bunny!

35 Dawnkeyotie 11.10.09 at 10:49 am

*gasps* at the cuteness. seriously? is that even real? i am gathering the dustbunnies all over my house today to see if i can fashion one of those.

36 Theresa 11.10.09 at 10:50 am

260Oakley: Nur eines will ich noch: das Bunneh, das Bunneh!

37 Queen of Dork 11.10.09 at 10:50 am

Whatever it may be, it’s so adorably fluffy/disapproving/whiskery that I have the urge to run down to the local pet store and try to find one.

38 unci 11.10.09 at 10:51 am

“It could be solely made of hair/fur-does it have internal organs?”

It’s fur all through. You reach into it with your hand, you come out on the other side.

39 Queen of Dork 11.10.09 at 10:51 am

If you really stare at the face, it looks really, really mad.

40 Becky, Bubba's mum 11.10.09 at 10:52 am

Believe me, I would dust under my bed right now if I thought such a dust bunny awaited me. Bunny is totally prosh while maintaining that disapproving look.

41 Queen of Dork 11.10.09 at 10:54 am

Maybe he’s so angry because someone stole his eyeballs?

42 Theresa 11.10.09 at 11:02 am

PS The beginning of November is about when I get around to my “spring” cleaning, too. :mrgreen:

43 Queen of Dork 11.10.09 at 11:04 am

I have to go now and feed my tribble a salad.

44 Berg 11.10.09 at 11:06 am

First a one-eyed, thoroughly adorable kitteh, now a no-eyed, flufftastic bunneh… Where does the madness end?!

[With a no-brained Editor, naturally. ;) - Ed.]

45 Paunchie 11.10.09 at 11:08 am

tricksy little hobbitses! they stole it from us, they did!

46 Queen of Dork 11.10.09 at 11:12 am

Gollum stole kibun’s eyeballs! And put them with his Precious!

47 KittyAdventures 11.10.09 at 11:22 am

Ohhh NO it is an escapee form the “Island of Dr Moreau”

a bunkitayn!
his fluffulance and disapproval are of epic proportions

48 shannomo 11.10.09 at 11:27 am

If only my dust bunnies looked like that.

49 Snowpea 11.10.09 at 11:28 am

It’s something out of Totoro or Pokemon! The mask! The disapproving mouf! THE FLOOOOF!

:ded:

50 Queen of Dork 11.10.09 at 11:31 am

*sigh*

*Nurse Stef steps in again. Snowpea, come back to us*

Smelling salts administered to Snowpea*

51 Mary (the first) 11.10.09 at 11:34 am

I thought it was a kitten of some kind.. and am still confused. Probably because I have little knowledge of dust bunnies, because I leave them undisturbed for .. eons.. really. So I don’t remember what one looks like.

52 Kristen 11.10.09 at 11:35 am

Yes! A masked kibun, new species. And using the ring as a reference, this one might be a pygmy variety. Killer cute!

53 Queen of Dork 11.10.09 at 11:40 am

Kristen: The elusive Masked Kibun has a tendency to be extremely angry and might bite. They have no venom though, so the bite will just itch and burn and turn red for a couple of days. However, if you have one, it’s a good idea to sleep with one eye open. And the lights on.

54 Kim 11.10.09 at 11:44 am

OMG! I want it, ship it to me. I have two gorgous bunnies but we got a supermodel inc. here. What a DOLLLLLLLLbaby.

55 Kim 11.10.09 at 11:47 am

PS I know how to trim bunny bangs (or use barette)

56 T.U.M. 11.10.09 at 11:47 am

IZ NOT BUNNEH IZ ZORRO

57 Katrina 11.10.09 at 11:53 am

T.U.M.- Zorro would be a perfect name, yes, yes, I quite agree!

58 ButtaRumCake 11.10.09 at 12:20 pm

Damn – my dust bunnies are feral & rabid…anybody know how to tame one?

59 gryt 11.10.09 at 12:31 pm

I *heart* the leetle disapproving mouf. Also, the bandit eyemakeup. Keeees!

60 Queen of Dork 11.10.09 at 12:33 pm

ButtaRumCake: You have to give them some butter rum cake crumbs.

61 Space Cowgirl 11.10.09 at 12:35 pm

Bandit bunny says “Stand and deliver, or the Devil he may take ya!”

62 Theresa 11.10.09 at 12:37 pm

Hey, it isn’t in every posting I get to go from Wagner to Adam and the Ants!

63 Queen of Dork 11.10.09 at 12:37 pm

I’m really just kidding. I would NEVER serve alcohol to a tribble. Or a hobbit foot.

64 pugletsrule 11.10.09 at 12:38 pm

I do believe it’s a disapproving cabbit – I have seen them before!

65 resriechan 11.10.09 at 12:38 pm

@ Theresa: I believe that the Technical Term for that, is “Musical Range” !!!

Brava, ma’am!!! Brava!!!

66 gravyboat 11.10.09 at 12:42 pm

Holy crap, it’s a raccoon-bunny-cat! They’re very rare.

67 Theresa 11.10.09 at 12:50 pm

@Resrie, I start at Gregorian chant, and burn out around Run-DMC. :mrgreen:

68 Queen of Dork 11.10.09 at 1:01 pm

Gravyboat and puglets rule: They’re also kind of dangerous. Especially this very disapproving, mad masked species.

69 Camille 11.10.09 at 1:08 pm

Someone apparently forgot to tell the bunbun that when you wear a Zorro mask, you’re supposed to cut eyeholes in it. Otherwise it’s hard to admire your own displays of swordsmanship. (The idea of that cute little fluffball wielding a sword is cracking me up.)

70 Queen of Dork 11.10.09 at 1:17 pm

Camille: And a cape. Don’t forget the cape.

71 Tee 11.10.09 at 1:27 pm

All that I can think of is Pris from Blade Runner, in a much cuter form.

72 Suh! 11.10.09 at 1:35 pm

Best dust bunny evar! The down turn mouf is adorable.
Love the name Zorro!
Maybe soft but vvverrrwy moody.

I know….Tickle widdle mouth with carrot!

73 BrianW 11.10.09 at 1:38 pm

“No ma’am, I do NOT approve of that ring!”

74 bun 11.10.09 at 1:48 pm

He dis aprroves cause its not 18 karrots! BAHHHH lol

75 ButtaRumCake 11.10.09 at 2:09 pm

bun – *groan*

76 Lerrinus 11.10.09 at 2:28 pm

*groan* @ bun…!

77 Katrina 11.10.09 at 4:27 pm

bun-gaaaaaaaaack-niiiiiiicely done.

78 PJ 11.10.09 at 4:49 pm

Is not real, is slipper.

[is SO real dustbunneh! :P - Ed.]

79 Jwlls 11.10.09 at 5:35 pm

That’s exactly what I was thinking gravyboat! I had to do a double-take!

Would that make it a crabbit? Seems appropriate with such a disapproving look!

80 LeeBee 11.10.09 at 6:00 pm

If the dust under my bed turned into one of those I would NEVER clean.

81 victoreia 11.10.09 at 7:09 pm

LOL, NTMTOM!

82 jl 11.10.09 at 7:12 pm

SOOO CUTE…….what kind of bunny of bunny is that??!!!

83 AuntieMame 11.10.09 at 7:14 pm

Ya know, if Peter Jackson had used this kind of floof on his hobbit feet, instead of the pubic hair, it wouldn’t have grossed me out as much…

[Um EWW. :P - Ed.]

84 kiki willow 11.10.09 at 7:29 pm

I am the dustbunny bandit, and I disapprove of cleaning under furniture. Nyerh!

85 spb 11.10.09 at 8:05 pm

No, no, no. You all have it wrong. It’s a newly discovered, natural in the wild hybrid… a cross btwn a bunny and a tribble… a “bubble”. Despite the bandit-looking mask, they are actually quite tame — although they are prone to bouts of pouting. Quite often they are found hiding under beds doing impersonations of dust bunnies. Yes, in the wild!

86 Queen of Dork 11.10.09 at 8:06 pm

sbp: Oh. A bubble. Thanks for clearing that up!

87 Queen of Dork 11.10.09 at 8:09 pm

PS…I’m kind of glad it wasn’t a kibun or a crabbit because those things can be very, very dangerous and mad and mean. And not very smurfy.

88 samsonsu 11.10.09 at 8:36 pm

anyone thinks it looks like simon’s cat?

89 Queen of Dork 11.10.09 at 9:13 pm

*must burst into song again*

More than a woman,
More than a woman to me!
More than a woman,
More than a woman to me!

(shood-do-wah. Shoo doo-doo-doo-waahhh!)

More than a woman,
More than a woman to me!
More than a woman!
More than a woman to meeeee!

(shoo-doe wah-la-la-la-la-la-laaaaaaa-ahhhhhhhhhh)

90 Merry 11.10.09 at 10:30 pm

Wait. Something’s missing. Where’s the C.O.X.C.U. of that cute little downturned mouth???

91 T.U.M. 11.11.09 at 6:11 am

Theresa, thank you for the music vid flashback! That made my day!

92 val 11.11.09 at 7:54 am

Dust bun’s are adorable!
Would he get mad if I pet his fur?

93 lauraJ 11.11.09 at 9:16 am

Can’t we get a bigger photo? My arms are tired from holding my laptop an inch from my face trying to decipher the details of that fuzzy “face”!

94 SparklePaw 11.11.09 at 10:23 am

snuggly dust bunny = adorable

95 resriechan 11.11.09 at 11:11 am

@ lauraj:

BWAH ha & ha & lol & etc.

(tee hee, too!)

96 Miriam 11.11.09 at 11:28 am

Fluffular bunbun!!!

97 Paws and Claws 11.11.09 at 10:20 pm

Those little bun lips look kissable

98 Tooty 11.12.09 at 2:43 am

I hope you named him Bandit?
