I got help from Otaku - here's the link to the thread for the build (I started this back in 2009, and then ended up not using it until now! )
I am not mechanically inclined at all, so the monster guts motor power pack with the quick connect was super easy and works for all sort of setups...
Rocking chair prop... hey, Otaku!

None of my videos look good of this, I really need to get a better camera.

Last year, I acquired a sterile, empty IV bag and tubing. I carefully filled the bag with vodka and added red food coloring. It looked just like a unit of blood (creepy, I know). I hung the whole aparatus on an IV pole. I would unclamp the IV tubing and fill a partygoers glass. I had a chemistry set on my bar to add to the effect.

We did that for the first time also this year....I had one filled with Black Sambuca, and one filled with Pineapple Vodka ...we decided it kinda looked like urine, so totally gross...it would of been better in a cathetor bag!

FG...thanks for the link, and hopefully hubby will help me figure this out. I checked out the site for the parts, didn't see the quick connect, but we have time to figure this out.
