Hint at certain device in Wizard Abroad

[Khendon]

On page 239 of Wizard Abroad, as the other wizards are arriving before heading off to battle, there is a description of what they are carrying.

"Some people actually had swords, and there were many wands and rods in evidence, of rowan and other woods; there were staves of oak and willow and beech. One wizard, for reasons Nita couldn't begin to guess, was carrying an eggbeater."

Must have used the same shopping channel as Dairine... <G>

*is generally amused* DD's said: "I think I must find eggbeaters intrinsically funny." (paraphrased) Long time no post, by the way...

LOL! I'd forgotten about that. Has any ever read the story about the Frying Pan of Doom? Oh, gods...that's the funniest story I've read I think. The King and Queen are suddenly asked by a...son of a magician I think it was, to help him with the ultimate weapon of his father. Imbedded with a spell so powerful that it could only be made once by any wizard. And just in the moment, the wife got in the way, hehe. So they put up a Tournament in the castle, to prove the courage, swordmanship, eye with the bow...and cooking.

Eh...I'll stop now, heh.

That IS so funny.

And it's not Dairine who bought the eggbeater like creation

Khendon- I really like the idea of that wizard using the shopping channel...What do you think the (presumably) magical eggbeater does? Well, a real eggbeater certaintly blends the different parts of the egg into one gross consistancy...just apply that to a human...Eww.

[Gryphon]

Just to give you an idea of how old this topic is... XD There's a "December" post, and we're in the month of novemeber.

[Peter Murray]

And, for a further hint, it was December 2003, not December 2004. This is an ooooold topic.

An old Captain Marvel Jr comic had a story where someone got hold of an eggbeater that gave him the ability to fly.

What's wrong with a bit of thread necromancy?

I wonder what possible uses an eggbeater could have in battle. Does it coat someone in egg? Or is it more like Nita's "charm bracelet" in TWD?

What other odd instruments could be used in battle against the LP?

[A Traveller with Magic]

Toothpicks! XD
And my Grandma's sandwiches *shudders*. I think the LP may have had a hand in those sandwiches.

I think an eggbeater could beat the egg out of the enemy though. Or maybe it fries them so you can serve them with bacon or something.
Eggbeaters do seem to show up a couple of times.
