The Towne Crier

You've found your way to the olde Towne Crier, a veritable smorgasbord of hilarious notes, quotes and observations by two certifiable (and self-proclaimed) geniuses. Please feel free to peruse through the insanity with a light heart, a boyish grin, and a pocket full of ribbon candy.

New Peebleshire Word of the Week: Comeuppance


Come - up- pance
n.(singular)
(kum - up - entz)

1. Any of a variety of recompensory goods distributed in accordance with the growth of one's scrupleberries.
2. A tasty treat, usually delivered in a pan by a jovial baker.

Ex. "After returning home from hard week's brick-scrubbing, the chimneysweep found a pan of hot comeuppance on his Friday evening doorstep."


New Peebleshire's local "Muffin Man," probably on his way to deliver comeuppance to a deserving and chivalrous citizen.
