So.....not much going on with you today, eh Dave?
Posted by: Punkin Poo | June 21, 2006 at 06:13 PM
So it's kinda like putting in a peephole backwards? It has quite the long and confusing name.
Posted by: Sarah J | June 21, 2006 at 06:14 PM
Whoa! I so gotta get me one of those....
For police work, of course. Only for police work.

Okay, so now the thing to do is install a big eyeball poster on the inside of your front door. (Then sit outside and watch the fun. Jump back !)

'Cause I want to watch the fat man hide the pot.

Seinfeld did this YEARS ago!!!! Damn that Kramer for not patenting his ideas.

Would now be a good time to patent my six-inch-spike-shooter-in-the-peep-hole device?
Posted by: ScottMGS | June 21, 2006 at 06:43 PM
Yeah, well ... those peepholes (not peoples) are perty low optical quality in the first place, and many of them have scratches or cracks ... and this item is so low in price I'm speculatin' that the optics aren't much above plastic binoculars you useta "win" at the fair in the crane machine ... and the fisheye effect (doubled, of course) won't add much to whut yew kin observe ...
Nah, I prefer a bit higher-tech in my foolish expenditures ... I'll pass on this one ...
HOWever, I'll also start puttin' tape over the peephole in my motel rooms ...
merely ... bashful ...

Kramer...but he wasn't the first to suggest a coffee table book about coffee tables. That had appeared in Games magazine.

What Cheryl said. Only Kramer did it backwards so people could look into his apartment from the hall, as I remember it.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | June 21, 2006 at 07:24 PM
Jeff, dear, that's what this thing duhs. Think about it.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | June 21, 2006 at 07:32 PM
It is lightweight and easy to use.
Oh, I'm sorry. I thought this was another Paris Hilton thread.

You could also use this to see (before entering) if someone else at the party was wearing your same dress. That way, you could go home and change into something way hotter!
I think that's why they call it "tactical."
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | June 21, 2006 at 08:23 PM
I believe Kramer installed the peephole in reverse so that he could check his appartment to see if he was about to be attacked by someone with a sock full of nickles!
Posted by: Mad Scientist | June 21, 2006 at 08:24 PM
What if the guy inside the house shuts his eyes real tight? Then can they still see you, Huh, Huh?
Posted by: MoFaux | June 21, 2006 at 08:50 PM
Now if this thing really wanted to boost sales, they'd make it like those "X-Ray Specs" that you see advertised in the backs of comic books. You could hold it up to the peephole & see if the fat man stashed the pot up his ass!

What a nifty device! Now the cops will be able to see the shotgun right before it blows a giant hole in their chest cavity.
Posted by: Straw | June 22, 2006 at 09:02 AM
Straw - as the wife of a police officer, I find your statement quite disturbing. hat to preach on the blog, but why would you say that?
Posted by: Cop's wife | June 22, 2006 at 10:43 AM
Sorry about the error above, meant to say Hate, not hat
Posted by: Cop's wife | June 22, 2006 at 10:44 AM
Gad! This thing costs more than peephole it's supposed to be reversing!
Posted by: Schadeboy | June 22, 2006 at 11:01 AM
Cop's Wife - that was probably by way of a warning.
There are cops and ex-cops on the blog & we love 'em all!

"...before it blows a giant hole in their chest cavity."
This is what gives me the willys...it is a disturbing description of a very real fear. An officer with my husband's jurisdiction was killed this exact way. I am normally not easily bothered by people's comments, but this specific comment made my Spidey senses tingle.
Posted by: Cop's wife | June 22, 2006 at 12:12 PM
ummm... there are cops here?... BRB
Posted by: MoFaux | June 23, 2006 at 06:17 PM
Yes, Mofaux, and they're taking notes....Mofaux? Mofaux?
