I have a feeling the Meat Grinder was Raven Darkblade?s idea, to start with, since this was the earliest reference I found.

RavenDrkBl: ::knows he has seen a RhyDin Orphanage on the other side of
RavenDrkBl: town, will see that there is a meat grinder installed there after
RavenDrkBl: tonight's little escapade::
From there, the Meat Grinder became Emma?s tool to help random individuals avoid boredeom.
06/12/98
RDI Emma: ::bats Bestof30's hands away:: I could put you in the meat grinder/
RDI Emma: Would you still be bored?
Bestof30: .............
RDI Emma: No? You don't want to explore the meat grinder?
Bestof30: why kkender in metal grinder?
RDI Emma: Maybe you'd find being a test subject for the flame throwers...
RDI Emma: ...those would be pretty good at getting rid of boredom, hm?
RDI Emma: ::slides away a rough wooden panel from the counter,
RDI Emma: revealing a whirring meat grinder::
RDI Emma: ::looks up at Malvorich:: Get in, huh? That won't be boring, I'm sure.
Malvorich: ::chuckles:: Thank you lady, but I already went through a similar situation the other day.
Malvorich: Twas less than plesant.
RDI Emma: Oh, darn. Well... if you change your mind....? ::to Malvorich::
Malvorich: ::Solo is mortified, hiding behind his taller friend::
AlysiaSkye: ::smiles blondly at Mr Dx 123:: Isn't it physically impossible to be *in* the bar?
RDI Emma: Not any more. ::to Alys, indicating the meat grinder::
AlysiaSkye: Oh. ::mollified, to Emma::
RDI Emma: ::turns to Raven, wearing a bit of a pout:: Nobody
RDI Emma: wants to try out the meat grinder...
06/26/98
RDI Emma: No, but I've got a meat grinder installed in the counter, darling.
07/03/98
RDI Emma: Just this Meat Grinder here which I'm dying to test out! Nobody's volunteered yet!
RDI Emma: ::pats the meat grinder whirring away in the counter::
MurfcoIntl: Is that the M-40 gattlin gun ::smirks to Emma:: Otherwise known as the "meat ginder"
RDI Emma: No, no. ::to Murfcolntl:: It really is a meat grinder.
RDI Emma: I plan on throwing trouble makers in there.
MurfcoIntl: how they goin to fit
RDI Emma: Well, see, once they get started, they'll fit real easy, cos they'll be chopped up.
Guild recruiters were a common annoyance in 1998. The Meat Grinder presented a solution. Raven also had some great guild-related pickup lines.
07/17/98
RDI Emma: I swear, the next tactless guild recruiter that comes
RDI Emma: in here yelling gets thrown in the meat grinder.
RavenDrkBl: ::whispers quietly in her ear:: Hey baby...wanna join my guild..?
RavenDrkBl: ::can't help but chuckle::
RavenDrkBl: Your guild...or mine...?
RavenDrkBl: What's your guild baby?
07/19/98
FrogFaery: yo Emma, right here's your tester
RDI Emma: ::indicates the whirring meat grinder in the counter::
RDI Emma: Go on, get in. ::smiling to FrogFaery::
FrogFaery: ::bored::
RDI Emma: I'm sure it'll dispel any boredom you have.
RDI Emma: The meat grinder works better than a trapdoor, darling.
RavenDrkBl: I think a certain pair of patrons asked you to light their hair on fire.
RavenDrkBl: And then beat them with crowbars.
RDI Emma: Oh... did I miss that? I thought they were asking to
RDI Emma: be put in the meat grinder. ::smiling broadly::
RavenDrkBl: Crow bar, meat grinder...both sound the same to me.
08/06/98
RDI Emma: Perhaps he'll be fortunate enough to try out the meat grinder I've got.
RavenDrkBl: ::chuckles:: A new meat grinder?
RDI Aibell: Meat Grinder, aye?
RavenDrkBl: If we jam one of his arms into the meat grinder and leave it
RavenDrkBl: partially mangled...it might serve as a way to keep him still.
RDI Emma: Raven!
RavenDrkBl: Oh...he's one of the good guys...
RavenDrkBl: I keep forgetting.
RavenDrkBl: (qw) Looking for the next person to play "Meet the Meat Grinder"?
RDI Emma: Mm hm. I think I found a subject, too.
RDI Emma: ::sadistic and rather dark smile::
RavenDrkBl: ::smiles:: Excellent.
Okay, Mr. Burns.
08/16/98
RDI Emma: Something like that. ::wry smile:: I'm still trying to
RDI Emma: get this one wench to jump in the meat grinder, but
RDI Emma: she's not obliging.
RavenDrkBl: ::whispers to Emma:: Meat grinder. Toss it in there.
Some couples whisper sweet nothings, haha. Raven and Emma talked about throwing people in meat grinders. Ah, RhyDin.
08/21/98
RavenDrkBl: Ever try testing the meat grinder out on a chicken?
Emma FR0ST: Nope, but I did on a duck.
Emma FR0ST: It was very rewarding.
Styvesant: ::smiles at Emma:: Was it a peeking duck?
Evilchiken: AHH!!
Evilchiken: ::screams at Emmas screaming::
Evilchiken: ::startled::
RavenDrkBl: ::snatches up the chicken once again::
RavenDrkBl: Hmm...I now I put you in the meat grinder once before...
RavenDrkBl: This time...you should be basted with Alsyia's coffee....
Evilchiken: ::shivers::
RavenDrkBl: And cooked at 500 degrees...for an hour.
Emma FR0ST: Not Alysia's coffee....!
RDI Jester: ...not in *my* oven, Raven.
RDI Jester: ::grins::
RavenDrkBl: If we can find people to try it out...maybe it could be Alysia's
RavenDrkBl: Famous Recipe Chicken.
Evilchiken: ahh!...
Sia Skye: .......
RavenDrkBl: ::smirks at Jester:: Be quiet you chicken sellout.
Yes, Ebonfenix played in the meat grinder too.
08/28/98
RDI Emma: Well, come on over. :;to VISIT0R, indicating the
RDI Emma: counter after jamming Ebon into the meat grinder::
DoNtAW311: I'm bored...
DoNtAW311: I wanna talk to somebody.
RDI Emma: Come on over and hop in the meat grinder. ::to
RDI Emma: DoNtAW:: I'll bet you won't be bored then.
RDI Emma: ::sighs:: Nobody ever wants to test it...
RDI Emma: ...even though it'd be a sure-fire cure for boredom.
RDI Emma: ::looks huffy, insulted, maybe::
Dwk13: Hi whats new here ::to RDI::
DoNtAW311: :: to RDI :: Maybe if I get REALLY REALLY bored I'll give it a shot ::
RDI Emma: The meat grinder in the bar is new. ::to Dwk:: Want to give it a try?
Dwk13: ::to RDI :: no
RDI Emma: Well, then - I guess you're not *that* bored, eh? ::to Dwk::
Baily1985: <w>Can you die from bordem?
RDI Emma: Simon, would *you* like to try out the meat grinder?
DoNtAW311: :: to Baily :: I don't know, but I bet soon enough I'll probably find out.
RDI Emma: ::smiles affably::
Baily1985: ::looks to Dontaw::i think i will join ya when you find out Sir..
SimonHlstn: Why Emma...are you going to be in it when I turn the crank?
RDI Emma: It doesn't have a crank, Simon. Tsk, tsk - so outdated you are.
SimonHlstn: I thought you liked outdated stuff
RDI Emma: Not at all. I like antiques. There's a difference.
12/09/98
Emma FR0ST: ::mutters something about kids and putting them in the oven or a meat grinder::
12/26/98
RDI Emma: Drinks, refills, loud drunken louts, anyone?
AlysiaSkye: I'll take a Loud Drunken Lout with rental of the meat grinder.
RDI Emma: There you go. ::points out HELL YAA for Alysia's benefit, and
RDI Emma: switches on the meat grinder::
OnlineHost: HELL YAA1 has left the room.
For some reason, there was a long dry spell when Emma didn?t talk about meat grinders at all. I find it hard to believe that the opportunity didn?t present itself.
02/26/01
Emma FR0ST: Well.. stuff them in a meat grinder if they're absolutely intolerable, maybe.
