Have you ever seen a cob roller organ?

I was blown away by this item. Never, ever heard of it before. Wish oh wish I could hear one play!

1. Very cool. My aunt has one that has 2 handles you turn to

turn the roll. The faster you turn, the faster it plays. Unfortunately most of the rolls are turning to dust.

2. What a weird item. It looks like a toilet paper holder run amok.

3. when I first saw the pic, I thought it was actually corn cobs for a moment

Now THAT would be primitive.

You know, it's odd, this particular phenomenon.

Prior to 2006, the word "primitive" was never used on Skins's island.

Then it started being used, and it's since been being used more and more and more and more.....

One wonders what's up with that.

I don't think she rolled that many cobs.

I still believe that a couple of those generations are illusions, born of a cluster of short-circuiting neurotransmitters.

You otherwise have to believe her family for generations has bred like guppies.

I wonder at what age she became so addled.
 
Surely at some time in the distant past she had a clear mind. But maybe not.
