Nonsense. Redheads make everything better. As do kindly gentleman with good strong arms to help with the unlacing.
My trap would consist of a worn wooden table etched with the fruits of my wild, steam powered imagination. A delicate china teacup placed atop a sprocket saucer, complete with steaming hot tea would rest on said table, next to homemade cookies. I myself would be sitting at the table, prepared to impart good conversation on the opposing party. The seats of course would be polished wood framed and leather upholstered.
You would not be caged so much as desperate not to leave. The best kind of trap...
This would be hard to resist for any gentleman..... I would have tea with you any time.....with or with out the trap....... Sooooo ... when does this tea party start? what kind of cookies? ........ |

We have all been oblivious to Maets strategy.
The best way to trap a steampunk is to ask how to trap a steampunk. So fond of arcane machinery we are that we will wander anywhere that has a mechanical lure.

I was once caught by a cunning "Feel free to look through all our old costumes, and take whatever you want!" trap.
Still have some of the shirts...

Well, as getting a date set for everyone to attend, not to mention figuring a good location, is near impossible, I have no date. I do however have extensive cookie baking experience. Chocolate chip are my specialty, but I also make a mean peanut butter, oatmeal raisin, white chocolate fudge, and even a completely sugar free apricot cookie. Good Lord. I just had a thought. Excuse me... I have planning to do. |

I believe madam has set the most insipid trap...the tender trap. I, myself, would not be caught in this type...again...and again...and again...

1) Build a VERY efficient trap.
2) Disassemble it & leave the parts lying about.
3) Hide nearby with a large net.
4) Use the net to trap anyone who:
a) Tries to salvage the parts, or
b) Better yet, tries to reassemble it.
4) would not work on me. Before you´d notice, the parts I need would be gone.....including your net, as I need something to put all this stuff into. No chance. |

I would just create a forum for Steampunks with steamy subjects. After a few minutes they sit mesmerized behind their computers with big bright eyes......

Appears you are not alone. Last count is 80. Twenty, voluntarily; sixty, no clue. |

I saw the perfect steampunk trap.
A clock shop (it also had a small section for antiques, but it was mostly one of a kind clocks) was having a closing out auction. I had to be forcibly dragged away to stop from blowing my savings and proposing to the clock maker. Oh, I would have done anything for his skills...
Oh yes, ahem, 18 hours and 10 minutes.

Two Days, Five Hours, Thirty-Five Minutes and counting.
Mind you, this is with someone who gets distracted easily. So impressive work, this is.
