[...] we’ve noted here before, the white-collar nuisance known as the nibbler has been pathetically picking his (half)way through office kitchenettes across the land for some [...]

as much as people hate passive aggression, I think that in cases like these, it’s well deserved. God knows, when I lived with disgusting slobbish roommates, I tried many times just flat out asking them to their faces to, you know, not be gross, not eat my stuff without getting permission, and all the other basic courtesy behaviors you’d expect from rational, non-brain-dead roommates…. And after months of face-to-face requests and me just cleaning up their messes for them, I snapped. And yea, that note-leaving behavior that even I tend to loath, was not only REALLY fulfilling, but also entirely necessary and surprisingly effective after about two weeks.

The answer is simple.

The gentleman who previously held my position tried doing just that

Doesn’t nibbling muffin bottoms lead to muffin tops?

Agree completely. Shared Food consumption practices always makes me nervous about the human race.

To be honest, it was “The Nibbler” to “The Tingler” to VP in my addled head.
Didn’t bother to IMDB it, just knew that “The Tingler” was late 1950′s and wanted an earlier date.

I’m just very impressed by how they got the mold on that half-slice of bread to organize so well.
Such precision is usually only demonstrated by the North Koreans!

Didn’t Price play Prof. Henry Jamrod in “House of Wanks”?

Well, I’m not a big movie buff, and I did say “circa”. That leaves some leeway.

You’re on to something, aaa.

(CB, Vincent Price wouldn’t wouldn’t have even taken a bite at a PAN character like “The Nibbler” in 1954. He was WAY too big a star by that point. Think about it. In 1953, he had starred in “House of Wanks,” the first 3-D film in motion picture history, and the first to deal with the horrors of chronic self-abuse.)

I see only one actor capable of playing “The Nibbler.”

Frank Gorshin. Yes, he played “The Riddler” in the Batman tv series. No, I can’t help it if I don’t have an imagination.

Since Gorshin is dead, we’ll have to exhume his body and have him move about the various kitchen sets via hidden animatronic/robotic devices. (Much like Meryl did in Julia Child and Julia Child).

Unlike what happened during that clumsy mechanical fiasco, we won’t let our the audience notice the machinations. So, obviously, we’ll need to use our best people on the project.

Nice character concept work, aaa!

(CB, I’m still chuckling at the audacity of you thinking we could have nabbed Vince in 54. IF ONLY! Then again, if “The Nibbler” plays like I think he will, we’ll have our pick of the hollywood litter.)

At first I thought the post might have something to do with Futurama.

I used to be a Nibbler. Did you know it’s illegal to borrow women’s underwear in a laundromat?
