He is often seen alongside Reeping Tom
Hehe, same gag, only you did it better.. And beat me to the punch by a second.. chapeau good sir!
Out by the weaping willow.
I am NOT crying into a pillow….
That’s good. That would make it awfully hard to see the funny.
I hate to make non-funny comments, but I thought that I might share this:
But if it’s a paint thinner, and destroys paint, why doean’t it estroy the paint chips in the uniball?
I don’t know. I actually tried this with a piece of paper, and the regular ink dissipated! No, I am not trying to market these pens/get a lot of hits on the video, I just thought it might be helpful.
It’s certainly worth trying, if for nothing else then art purposes. (as I do a lot of artwork in various inks)
Very interesting! That’s the first time I ever heard of the problem. Not that I write many cheques these days.
it just requires a different chemical … hell if they can wash a $5 bill and print a C note over it, so it has (alas the wrong one) a watermark and a security stripe …. this isn’t a challenge for the determined — get a cheap embosser for the amount – done deal
Teehee! They misspelled “Peeper”
Beware the Grim Peaper Poople! Is he in any way related to Wee Willy Winkie?
On the back it says “Binoculars and ladder not included)
But it IS for adults.
…But I didn’t have the salmon mousse….
Well you’re dead now, so shut up.
Duh….maskom best west……
I have cum for your boobs!
You can’t have them, I’m still using them.
For what, exactly?
Filling up my shirt. And amusing my husband.
…..
……..
I aint doin’ no ‘splaining to a minor – it’s Secret Grown-ups’ Business.

I dunno, the Grim Peeper still sounds a little scary.
Yeah, I prefer my peepers to be joyous.
The spring peepers I have around here are very cheerful. Definitely not grim or scary, loud and noisy mostly.
I realized recently that I do have a peeper in my house. This came to me when I discovered that potatoes have eyes. All this time I felt watched and now I know why.
If you think about it, there are LOTS of eyes around the house. Every needle has an eye. Every fly or spider has hundreds! And don’t even get me started on hidden cameras…
YOU CAN NOT PROVE THAT! Heheh….just kidding………just don’t check under the sofa……….
The spiders use hidden cameras???? Geez, and I thought we had creepy ones Down Under.
No, but I did see a news story in which a c0ckr0ach was fitted with a small camera glued to its back. My previous atttempt at this post is awaiting moderation, apparently because of the name of the insect.
We had a doco Down Here about c-roaches, in which the makers approached a PR firm and asked them to do a PR makeover on the little critters. One of the suggestions they came up with was a name change, to something with a bit more dignity – they suggested renaming c-roaches as “attenboroughs”.
My wife was taught to call the large, black c0ckr0aches “water bugs,” and in Florida they often call them “Palmetto Bugs.” But I have a degree in biology and know an American C0ckroach when I see one. When I stayed in Charleston, South Carolina, there was one in my bed large enough to wake me up, just by crawling on me, and I sleep very soundly. The things there, and in Florida, grow to the size of rats. (The two types we run into most often in the US are the German c0ckroaches, small and brownish, and the American c0ckroaches, very large and black. We haven’t seen many of the Oriental ones, the banded ones that can fly (yech!), but I’ve seen a few, and it is said their numbers are growing.
I had seen some in Texas that were almost as big as the Florida ones.
One time in Florida I did have one fly at me *shudder at the memory*.
I detest c-roaches. Especially the small brown ones. The big black ones are just a little too crunchy when stepped on. yech- major gross-out.
Yeah, they can be such pests.
ZOMG NO I’M NOT!……….wait, you were talking about the roach….
I have no comment.
…….
I breed a type of roach to feed to my lizards – you probably wouldn’t want to visit on a Saturday afternoon, when I feed the roaches. Native Australian roaches are very inoffensive, quite pretty, and do not infest houses. It’s the imported ones that do that. Just about anyone who’s lived in student accommodation has had the experience of making friends with all the roaches living in your room. It was nice, in a way, to have all those happy little smiling faces see you off in the morning, little antennae waving goodbye. “Have a good day! Don’t forget your lunch! Hope the prac goes well! Don’t forget you need some more note paper! Oh, and don’t come home with any roach bombs, we’ll lock you out…”
Oh, that was so SAD! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
V.V I hate those bugs, never got them before we moved south.
In many parts of Kentucky, they are so widespread that even if you maintain fastidious cleanliness and have them professionally exterminated, they will come back. I lived in one house, a fairly nice one in a nice neighborhood, where we had constantly recurring infestations of German c0ckroaches on the ground floor, and American c0ckroaches in the basement. I didn’t like either kind, but I hated the Germans more because they tended to get into the kitchen a lot. I once found one at the bottom of a coffee cup from which I had just drunk a cup, which nearly makes me hurl just remembering. Since that day, I have ALWAYS stored coffee cups upside down!
Those are the ones that I find detestable, just gross and nasty. I wanted to hurl after reading your post.
The American ones only gross me out when I’ve stepped on them, otherwise don’t bother me all that much.
Fortunately I haven’t seen either in this house. I do have a lot of ladybugs that like to overwinter in my house.
We live next to the woods and swamp, so unfortauntely we get ALOT of pesties. (though mostly in the garage, not the house) Which includes both roaches, and quite often, mice. We’ve learned not only to store cups, but every other dish upside down, and ALL food is in airtight containers.
Wow, I feel so lucky that I don’t have roaches in my house but best of all that I don’t have mice. I have a terrible phobia of mice and will tremble if I see one.
I am surprised no one has mentioned “Joe’s Apartment”, or was I the only one who watched it?
Oh, thanks! I couldn’t remember the name of the movie. Love that scene!
I have the original theater marqee (probably missspelled) sign for that movie
That was too cool!
Some of the spiders in my house are grim peapers
Yeah, that’s right they lurk in the bathroom a lot.
I think I once saw this guy outside my window one night while I was getting undressed. He didn’t look happy then either.
why is the peeper grim? he should be happy to see the goodies.
The epidemic of obesity in America.
Too true, too true……..
Even though there’s a mask in the picture, the description says it only includes a hooded robe! You can’t peap as well if people can see your face!
Maybe the Death of Baby Birds? (The way that the Death of Rats is sometimes referred to as the Grim Squeaker?)
Jeepers, peepers! Why’d you kill those cheepers???
Because if I ate them alive, people would talk.
I believe you may be the only other person I’ve “met” that’s as taken with Mr. Pratchett as I am.
Death is my favorite character, so naturally “Reaper Man” (“Peaper Man” just doesn’t have the same flair, does it?) is my favorite Pratchett book, although “Carpe Jugulum” holds a special place in my heart as it was my first.
Have you read his early science fiction novels, Strata and Dark Side of the Sun? Pre-Discworld, but still worth reading, IMO.
Yep, AFAIK I have all of his stuff, even though I had to order some of the older ones (e.g. “Johnny and the Bomb”) from the UK.
I also really like his co-effort with Mr. Gaiman, “Good Omens”. I’ve read that three times and it’s about due for a fourth go-round.
I think I’ve heard of this author, but have not had the pleasure of reading. Just to confirm with other references I have heard, this disk is on the back of a giant turtle?
That’s the one. I hope you can find his books. You might want to start with The Colour of Magic to get a good idea of how it all works.
I will have to write this down for one of my rare 60 mile journeys to the book store. I’m actually not expecting them to have much however as they never do have anything else I’m looking for. It took about 7 years to find a copy of one of Clare Bell’s books…granted it has been out of print for a good while before that.
It’s a really hopeless “bookshop” if they don’t have some of Terry’s books in. Seconded the recommendation for The Colour of Magic as the best place to start, even though I think Death and the City Watch are better characters and “their” books are better novels.
I think it’s Strata; certainly one of those 2, that has the first mention of Discworld in it (turtle, elephants and disc; not the setting of this book). And incidentaly I’ve got pretty much everything Terry’s (I get to call him that; I’ve had drinks with him socially) written except 2 of the Johnny Maxwell trilogy.
*ENVY* Story of the social encounter, please?
Strata has a manufactured flat world in it. Not sure about the turtle and elephants, it’s a while since I read it.
Here’s lookin’ atcha, kid. (How’s your Pauline?)
Also apropos of r0@chz (ha! I done fooled them intertubez!) the gigantic brown ones with pale shoulders that fly at you in Sydney (Oz) are called American. The tiny little plain brown ones that infest your kitchen and ruin your life are called German. No idea where either of them are really from.
The Americans sneak into the house every night and crap on everything. The Germans just colonise your walls and make you allergic to breathing. The Germans you can smoosh and not too much mess, but the Americans – don’t get up to pee at night without slippers. Step in one of them and you’ll remember it.
Here’s lookin’ at you, kid? That must be the Bogey man.
I think he needs a Kleenex.
The American c0ckroach I am familiar with is large (typically 2-4 inches long), black, and does not fly. (The little brown ones that infest kitchens are usually the German.) There are probably more varieties and species of c0ckroach than I am familiar with, but the only one I know of that flies is the Oriental, which has a banded-looking abdomen.
Take this from exp. They CAN fly, they just don’t do it often, and they can also bite the – - – - out of your leg while you are asleep. >_> I believe the flying thing is done only in what would be considered a buggy emergency, like when they lose grip on the wall and want to frighten the living snit out of you at 2 am.
Well, since my last course in entomology was over 35 years ago, I decided to do a little brushing up. It is the Asian c0ckr0ach that can fly, and fly well, but it is about the same size as, and looks very much like, the German c0ckr0ach, which is the little brown roach most of us have seen and that cannot fly. The American c0ckr0ach is bigger than the German, and is not a good flier, but is known to fly some, mostly during mating season. The Oriental c0ckr0ach is the wider, blacker roach that must be the one I recall having had in my basement, and it cannot fly. Now there are, as I suspected, actually several thousand species of c0ckroach, so no telling what you might have seen, depending on where you live, but those four are the ones most commonly encountered as house pests outside of tropical areas, and the German is by far the most common house pest.
Don’t fear the peaper
I take it from all the responses that nobody’s recognised the mask from anywhere (I don’t either).
’bout the closest would be maybe Grim in “The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy”.
Maybe it’s a “Scream” knock-off?
The similarity is only in the shape. As I remember it the mouth is very open, large, round and dark. The eyes are also open, round and full of expression.
I wonder how many witches there are in a set.
Three.
The traditional coven has 13.
In the Pratchettverse, a witch will tell you that the ideal number of witches per coven is one.
Granny Weatherwax, maybe, but I thought it was three as she and Nanny Ogg had to induct Magrat for that reason. Or did Magrat want in and insist that they needed her to make a three? It’s been so long….
I think you and Dr H are both correct, at different times in the series, and possibly depending on which witch you ask.
So should I wear this to Helloween…or perhaps my Which Costume?
