"Eggbeaters" and other wizardly equipment

[Birdhead]

Ooh, you just reminded me, my best friend got her hair caught in the eggbeater one time when we (Me and my two best friends) were making pikelets. Her long hair. I mean, her really, really, long her, as in hair-she-can-sit-on (and she's not short.) SO maybe eggbeaters are dangerous. (she was fine, BTW.)

Whoopee! It's almost summer! (This is the part when I remember that I have to move this summer.)

Oh, yeah, it was fine- she lost a little, but not bald patches or anything... and it was a little scary, yeah. But it way all OK in the end...

eggbeater in the news!

I know this is an old thread-- but this is too good not to share-- a possible sign of 'Mela's eggbeater in real life:
"In Plant City, Fla., in December, Robert Thompson and Taurus Morris were charged with armed burglary after taking a woman's eggbeater from her at knifepoint. It was not reported why they wanted the eggbeater or why the victim had to be threatened at knifepoint to get it. [Tampa Tribune, 12-15-08]" (found through News of the Weird)

They also fail to report why she was carrying an eggbeater in public, and why she failed to use it in self-defense.

I initially thought that this was a mugging on the street, and wondered why someone (other than Carmela) would be carrying an eggbeater in public. After a little research, it turns out that the burglars broke into the house and demanded the eggbeater (and nothing else, or at least nothing else worth mentioning).
