Almost 300 of you shouted from the bottom of your Internet lungs earlier this month in the comments of this post. Your wail was so loud, so gloriously shrill, that it caused a major, national publication to alter its online publication schedule by three weeks.

If you read the comment posted by Jill on April 11, you'll see that she works for goodhousekeeping.com. After a wee bit of digging, I discovered that she's no slouch over there; she's the senior editor of the site.

Jill was so overwhelmed by your collective effort to make the Internet scream that she decided to publish the Q&A (which was originally intended to run in tandem with the June issue) today. In the middle of April.

Have I told you lately that I love you? I do. Unfortunately, since I can't send each of you a naked picture of myself, I can only show you that love by sharing with you the URL to another vile manifestation of my ever-expanding ego.

DAD GONE MAD: THE GOOD HOUSEKEEPING INTERVIEW

P.S. -- The picture isn't us. We don't have trees or fallen leaves or jackets in Southern California. We have smog and freeways and paparazzi.

Okay. I just wanted to be first. Have you met my ego? Now I'll go and read you!

Awesome that while you had a post about underwear wars, GH posted a story about you. I love the parallelisms.

Dude, don't blow that four bucks all in one place!

Why can't my children see that my shrill, loud wailing is glorious? Pfft. It's like they want me to be nice, or something.

Congrats to you and your crooked nipples, Danny!

EEEK! That rocks! The only influential people in my life that visit my blog are my inlaws. And, when I say influential, I mean they run to my husband to talk about the crap I write on my blog.

Thank you so much for doing that Danny! I've found so many new blogs that my google reader is crying out for salvation.

For me, NOT sending me a nude picture of yourself will be considered a treasured gift, spoiled only by the thought that one may indeed exist. Guess I picked the wrong day to stop drinking.

OMG!!!! LOL!!!! ROTFLMAO!!!

Wait. I don't think I did that right.

yay for you! you are the coolest brother in the USA. I'm psyched for 90 million GH readers to find you. Rock on.

Very cool! And I'm laughing at that photo. Didn't you suggest the frozen pea bag photo of yourself? That would be funny!

that's what I love about the internet. It lets us all collectively turn into 16yr. old girls who are all "OMG. THAT. IS. AWESOME." only to three days later realize at a VERY inopportune moment that perhaps the 9hrs. spent perusing the world wide web could have been better spent buying things like toilet paper.

I'm glad you cleared up that photo confusion. I thought you were the woman in the Front Loading Washer ad when I first clicked in from my feed.

Great interview.

Congratulations on the interview. What book?

Congratulations! Funny the collective people who read your blog can say they knew you when! Blogging is too much fun! Keep going cause after the GH thing, your comments are gonna skyrocket!!

I love that you are connect with Good Housekeeping. That's just funny.

Freaking awesome. In fact, now I have to hate you a little bit.

But if I'm being serious (and that IS rare), I have to say of ALLLLLLL the bloggers out there, you deserve the recognition. Truly.

Hello all! I found this picture and thought that it was kind of amusing based on our topic of blogs that we like. I thought that we could use them for those 'other' blogs

Congratulations!! GH is HUGE, you have really tapped into your feminine side :) Please keep us posted on your book.

OMG! ROTFLMAO! That was hawt!

:)

That's awesome Danny. Seriously awesome. It speaks not just of your "popularity" (because even if you're trying to be humble, deep down you know that you actually are a "big big star" already) but also of the support you have. It wasn't the 300 comments, it's what was in them (in other words, they weren't leetspeak drivel).

Congratulations to you, sir. May you one day find out what that glob of jelly (that you had to place your butt cheek in) was for (on the day of the big V in case I'm making a DGM reference some don't get).

Massive congrats to all at Evans World HQ. 'Course now we have to SHARE you with all these OTHER folks ...
(Hhmmm - this must be how Hot Wife feels all the time)

I just wanted to say thank you. Reading your blog has made me realize two things. 1) Parents are people too and 2) that I would like to write my own blog. I started with the first entry today. Its not much but it is a start. So, thanks.

Dammit! Dammit! Dammit! I haven't had time to get my blog started! I'd have that snappy name if it wasn't for that pesky job.... Ah, well, there's still time.

Danny, congratulations, kudos and huzzah!
Keep up the good work!

Congratulations! Does this mean you get to rub shoulders with Heloise at the GH New Year's party next year? I'm so jealous!

Not just rub shoulders with Heloise, trade etiquette tips with a scion of the Post family!

And then have Heloise show you how to clean off the shoulder you just rubbed against her. Surely, Ms. Post would not approve.

A big slice of raisin pie Danny, to you and your family. :)

Grrrrreat interview, & I love that you said farted in GH. teeheehee.

see...and i'm kind of afraid that i'll be spending father's day on the floor in my living room in my underwear and watching sports....

(my husband is a lucky, lucky man. ha!)

Nicely done! I agree with a question above... what book?

Congratulations sir! But let me get this straight... After mocking my family and friends, hours and hours of writing, and having a cool trivia link on my blog, I stand to make as much as $4.00?! Hot damn, I knew things were looking up!

Thanks for the linky love. Now I'd better go write something interesting on my blog.

Congratulations, Danny!

GH: There is an HTML page break issue near the question about how Danny met Hot Wife.

You, my friend, are a total rockstar.

don't forget the little people when you start getting a few thousand more readers. ;)

I'm amused that you used the term "sundown" when describing how you proposed to your wife. That's so ... cowboy movie. I mean, in a good way.

(BTW, I only discovered you last week at the OC Bossy meetup when she mentioned that my username--my initials--always make her think of your blog. Just so you know, I am not trying to masquerade as you. ;-) )

Thats awesome! A strange sense of accomplishment goes along with being mentioned/interviewed on a public venue.

Oh, and by the way... I'm posting this in lieu of a funny, poignant, well-written insightful comment.

I can't believe you told Good Housekeeping that you farted on a 3 year old! But that's what was great about the interview (and about you). You were YOU, with no (or very little) apologies. We should all be that honest and real. (Except, I'm wondering if Hot Wife's rendition of the proposal is just a WEEEEEEEE bit different...?) :)

Can't wait for your book! (And I'm going to check out some of the sites you mentioned...)

I can't help but love the idea that people are doing to click over to your site, the site which has to hold the record for the most uses of the word "cocksucker" in a parenting blog, after reading an article with a tagline of "how to get your kids to clean up their act."

Danny, I LOVE the article. Thanks for sharing..... oh, and I too can't wait for your book. There are days that I send your blog post to my sis and friends and we laugh HYSTERICALLY at what you've written b/c it reminds us of our husbands. Keep up the good work and thanks for being a blog I can ALWAYS count on for a huge laugh. It doesn't get any better than that!

Congrats! I just stumbled into your blog when I decided to start writing about my adventures.

Congrats! That is huge. Myabe if you sent the naked picture, I would have said humungous!

Been reading you for around a year now (I think?). Just wanted to congratulate you on the article. You certainly deserve all the recognition you can get.

Thanks for giving me another way to avoid work at the office.

remember all us little folks out here....

Well firstly I must bring to your attention the obvious oversight, you didn't mention my blog. But it's cool, maybe next time....

and I've not got a notion what good housekeeping is but judging by the wet floor here I'm guessing it's a good thing!

well done.

Thank you very much for the Shrinky-Link.

And we're still waiting on that DGM exercise video to be posted on YouTube. C'mon, now!

So I love this blog and have been walking around all day cracking myself up by the realization that all the great and frequently off-color content on here has now earned the "Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval" - absolutely classic. Danny, make sure you get a button out of these people for the template!

Terrific interview. Particularly love the "not us" family photo. "So Danny, we're working up some art for the piece... how many kids do you have again?"

"Two, why?"

"OK, cool, we have that shot..." (Calling off into the distance) "Freddy - two kids... yeah, small. Wife and two kids. Let's use the one with the leaves and the trees. Done."

I thought for sure I would find the interview under "celebrity hairstyles".

Good for you, Danny. I'm a Grandma and it cracks me up to remember "those days" with the kids.

You will survive. Most of them turn into functioning adults and wonderful people.
If you don't kill them first!

Am I allowed to be proud of a complete stranger who is just a couple of years younger than me? Yes? Well, good then. I'm PROUD! :)

So real, so you! Congrats Mr. Gone Mad...it is way cool to be recognized.

BTW--keep plugging at the book. I wrote one (a text book actually) several years ago and it was perseverance that got it done. I just started to blog and I am now finding my voice...come visit the Pittsburgh Deli sometime!

Loved the article, every bit of it. Congrats!

Danny, Danny, Danny. I love you and I wanted to return the favor so I mentioned you to my daughter's 2nd grade class during Show and Tell. Does that count?

(P.S. Soooo not impressed, they were. And the whole time I was babbling about you, Ricky Schump was eating his boogers. Little shits)

Now see? If I could just get GH interested in giant farm animals I could be one of the cool kids, too. It's that or my sick fascination with the Weasley Twins...either one is pretty disturbing if you think about it.
