It has been brought to my attention that the production photos that I have personally autographed for nearly 10,000 fans of Dirty Jobs are disappointing in two key areas.
1. They aren't BIG enough. 2. They aren't DIRTY enough.
In an effort to rectify this oversight, and celebrate more new episodes, The Network has allocated several dozen dollars to upgrade my publicity shot. The new photo addresses both concerns quite nicely. It is of the standard 8x10 variety, and features me, covered in charcoal dust, holding my filthy hands toward the camera, and screaming in abject horror. The expression captures what I believe to be the true measure of pain and regret that have become hallmarks of my large and filthy face. You can obtain your very own signed copy - should you desire such a thing - by sending a request to the production company. The request should read:
PHOTO REQUEST Pilgrim Films and Television 6180 Laurel Canyon Blvd. #350 North Hollywood, CA 91606
Be sure to include a self-addressed stamped envelope with sufficient postage. (You’d be amazed how many forget.) Please make sure the return envelope is large enough to hold an 8”x10” photo. Please address the envelope exactly as written above. Please do not include anything else with a photo request. This includes lengthy letters, crocheted mittens, suggestions for dirty jobs, love notes for Barsky, boudoir imagery for me, or baked goods of any type. The aforementioned are all welcomed and appreciated, but must not be included with a PHOTO REQUEST. It only confuses things, and makes Barsky anxious.
Please allow 4-6 years for delivery. If you would like the photo personalized, please allow much, much longer.
Seriously, Mike
PS Ivy – Please also remove the sticky that says I’m unplugging for a bit. I'm not.
Thanks
Mike

I do have some news that I hate to share, but must. It’s regarding personalized, autographed pictures. From the start, I’ve always tried to personalize every request, but find now that I simply can’t keep up. I am literally months behind, with no hope of getting even. The problems are several, and include, believe it or not, some recent security issues. (Don't ask.)
Any mail addressed to me will still go to Pilgrim, and then to a PO Box. Photos will be signed by me in advance – not personalized – and sent back in whatever SASE you provide. All other mail addressed to me will now be opened and screened by someone other than me, and forwarded to me later. Anything other than a photo request will eventually get to me, but I cannot guarantee a response.
I feel badly about having to do this, but worse about the growing stack of Fed Ex boxes piling up in my dining room. Hope you understand.
Thanks, Mike
* Please note that autographed Dave Barsky photos are now available. Please send S.A.S.E. to the address above - Attention: Dave Barsky, PHOTO REQUEST

When u say personalized....does that mean we can tell u what to write to us Mike, then sign it.......just curious, cuz if so, may send for one, with sufficient postage of course.
I sent a photo request in many weeks ago and sent a self addressed stamped envelope for the first mentioned 5x7,does this mean I am getting nothing?need another request to be sent in?
One more thing Mike, can we request a different photo, though my hubby may not appreciate it, I would like the one, u in skivvies, signed personally just for me, if u get to be a dirty boy, we get to be dirty girls....it's all in fun...............the male body is a thing of beauty...btw...as experience has taught me...u have what eye call the big b*** walk..supercalifragileisticexpealidotious!
4-6, huh? I was thinkin' "6-8"! Sorry; a random song lyric popped into my little head when you said that! Take good care of yourself and the love-er-ly DC! Peace in a circle (donut).
Mon ami, who is sending you their naughty night attire photos (must make mental note). Although maybe a month ago I would have been drawn to send a private mash note of my own. But, I saw the error of that endeavor and a cooler head prevailed.
I think I know of the shot you speak and I may just make a request of said item. Being that I agree with your 7th grade square dance partner Susan Torrance, you do have nice eyes. And that picture features them nicely. A kind of sweet tenderness like Emmitt Kelly minus the clown makeup of course.
PS: Barsky is adorable.

Note to self...do not send items other than request for darlin photo to the above "Request For Photo" address.
So...this means I will not include the following:
1. Barsky's Binky Bear...that is in my possession ~ I considered returning but now...I think I will hang on to it. Binky may come in handy on the next "Barsky Quest Mission". 2. The $16.92 that was raised from the "Barsky Britches" Telethon for Barsky's long pants. 3. A tape recorder for Mikey to say "Love Ya Shari" and a ~return to sender box. 4. Myself ~ to bad too I could use a trip right now. 5. A drunken mudbug with a passion for JC Penney Catalog shopping.
Okay...fine. I will behave and just send the envelope and will ponder sending the rest in a separate post.
Mike, thank you and the network for the 8x10 photos! I can wait umm 4-6 years... yeah, dedicated is my middle name. P.S. Does Barskey take bribes??? (sha-grin) DiAnA
Woud LOVE to have a personalized picture of the aforementioned previously referred to heretofore recognized hitherto spoken of host, buuut North Hollywood ain't safe - even to send MAIL to. I'll hold out until a safe address is secured .

In the immortal words of Joey Lawrence......whoa! Not quite the one that I was thinking of but you must say quite a conversation piece. And it is Mike, which is most important.
