If you read my Top Chef Masters RECAP, you might remember that I treated "Magician and Mentalist" Max Maven (below) with my typical snark. Specifically, I MAY have mentioned something about him "slithering" and that his parents might have been "Mr. Spock and Ming the Merciless"...
Well Dust Bunnies, it's been nice knowing you - but Mr. Maven sent me an email ... and I don't know what to make of it:
Dear David Dust:Thanks for realizing that I'm creepy. It's nice to know that I've achieved my goal, albeit somewhat perplexing as to why you seem to think that's a bad thing.Cordially,Max Maven
Is he pissed?!? Is he going to stuff me in a box and then skewer me with swords?!? Is he going to make me disappear?!? I'm frightened, people!!
Here was my afraid-for-my-life-so-I-better-be-nice response:
Dear Mr. Maven -Please do not take what I've written literally. One of the more popular things I do on my blog is write humorous (??) recaps of reality shows such as Project Runway and Top Chef. It has been my experience that the more "colorful" you are, the easier it is to give you the snark treatment.
And you Sir, are extremely colorful. I actually enjoyed watching you on the show - it has been my favorite Top Chef Masters episode so far.Regards,David
P.S. - Please do not turn me into a toad. kthxbai
It's been nice knowing you ... but I don't think Toads can blog...
UPDATE: As you can probably tell from the tone of his email, Max Maven wasn't upset by my comments. I know this, because he sent me a follow-up email ... which I have forwarded to my clergyman and attorney. You know, just in case I'm found sawed in half ... ;)

Don't fuck with magic!

ROFLMAO. David is askerred!
I think some of the chefs were much scary than Max...
LOL!!! he might want to saw you in half or something....
xoxoxoxoxo
Girl- you done it now!
That's awesome. He must have googled himself after the show to see what people were saying about him.......hahahahaha.
I thought you took it easy on him. But if I was you, I'd watch my back.
How funny that he found your entry and replied. Might pay to lay low for a while, at least until the next episode :o)
Ruh-roh! David, we hardly knew ye!
Seriously, I think it's cool that he wrote you, and he seems equally cool with the attention. I think you're going to be okay, and will remain a human. ;) XOXO Beth
i love toads, but i agree w/ psychomom. dude, you so cant fuck with the magic!
xxalainaxx
LOLOLOLOLOL!
Honey, you can come live in my pond.
xo
Max Maven is an AMAZING guy and magician, and he seems to have a pretty good sense of humor. xD I'm sure you have nothing to worry about.
You are already a prince(ss)
You're doomed! Doomed as doom 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.
Rubbish! He has no power here. He should look out for falling farm houses.
LOL! He was probably delighted to be mentioned on such a highly traffiked blog. He's pretty deep into character though. I'm a bit creeped out m'self.
PS: Do not become a frog. I am afraid of frogs. Ask him if he'll turn you into a bunny instead.
Mama Bunny sez:
Dear Mr. Maven,
Please don't hurt my little boy. Even when he was just a tiny little dust mite he didn't know when to shut his damn mouth (or keyboard). He don't mean to be so ignernt.
Please don't hurt him. He's the only gay son I have!

Dear 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!
LOL - too funny!
