If Donut were a real person, I’d take offense at “not to sound gay or anything” because clearly, there’s *nothing* worse than sounding gay, right?

But as Donut isn’t real, I guess I have to look at Nannan. And if you read the article a certain way, sounds like he’s got some issues to deal with. Here’s hoping he can escape that “secret compartment” and be proud of who he is.

In the mean time, keep building those big black phallic sculptures, bud!

Y’know what really makes this convincing? There is a guy named Donut on Classic Castle.

@fallentomato: I quite liked those creations. Very inspirational…

Great MOCs here, to say the least.

I like this kind of joke better than last year’s where they fake-praised all those terrible creations. These creations will remain awesome even after the day is over.

Would I be a killjoy if I called out this whole TBB post (and associated Flickr account [donut.creations]) as a (diabolically clever) April Fool? It looks to me like an amalgam of uncredited works by possibly Nannan, Guy Himber (V&A Steamworks), Mark Neumann (Snowleopard) & (??? unknown co-conspirators) with an amusing writeup. You fellers have been known to jerk our collective “Minifig Accessory Chain 17L (Complete)”s from time to time (see http://www.brothers-brick.com/2008/04/01/) Or, I could just be full of crap. BTW, all the MOCs are uniformly excellent.

Wow. Donut must have been one helluva closet-builder, because these are some fantastic creations. I especially like that post-apoc buggy. I can’t wait to see more!
