mad scientists and SMs

As some of you may recall, I am married to a mad scientist.

He sent me this link:

Fortunately for me DH knows me, and he also knows he has to sleep sometime, so my sewing machines are safe.

Plus at the same time he sent me a link to a steampunk nerf gun that went on ebay, so I am encouraging experimentation in this direction.

OK, maybe not... he was just talking about using a treadle sewing machine to spin a drum to run a Vandegraf generator to power a linear partical accelerator.

Anyone know a good locksmith?

I know there's something to be said for never being bored but your sweetheart takes it to a whole new level. Thank you, NightMist. That's fun. Maybe you should casually mention some time that you have a friend with

8,500 gators and she shares. Polly

Well, he probably wouldn't use the particle accelerator on *you*.

I had my teeth drilled with one of these as a kid in New Zealand:

You are bound and determined to see some gators humping along on peglegs aren't you? (G)

I tell the man you have that many gators and he will be setting his sights on their feet. I can see it now, you and I sitting quilting on the porch, while my mad scientist is setting up a gator paw catcher out in the swamp. I just hope this future invention chases off the rest of the critter.

No, no, no. We are quite fond of our gators. They are just grand watchdogs and require very little maintenance. They're always smiling and even cheerful about taking care of an occasional insurance adjustor or revenooer. Polly

Dear Athena, You are the Goddess of war and wiisdom so this fits. Please send Polly a big ole wooden spoon so she can properly spank my DH if he gets notions about her gator's feet. Thanks!

After all the incredible recommendations here, I have some wonderful, precious wooden spoons. But . . . I'm most reluctant to ask, what in the Sam Hill does a Mad Scientist want with gator feet? Is it something like eye of newt? Never mind. Maybe we don't want to know. Polly

Musnt forget, in addition to being a mad scientist he does conjure. So yeah, it is akin to eye of newt. (G) We have a candy jar on the shelf just for gator feet, albeit weeny gator feet. There is all kinds of crazy stuff on the shelf here.
