Granny's Hand-Cranked Spice Grinder

Darn, that's what I was gonna say! ;)

LisaB

[lgn1]

[lawman]

Lisa you can use "Granny's Hand-Cranked Potpourri Maker" :)

[lawman]

So I guess "Granny's Homemade Hurdy Gurdy" is out. :(

[bunltd]

Hurdy Gurdy

Does it come with a monkey that wears a little hat?

[lgn1]

lawman, you are onto something, and also bunlt

[lawman]

Which one, the Hurdy Gurdy or the Potpourri Maker?

[hannamyluv]

May I guess a roller organ?

[lawman]

Ah, the hurdy gurdy - sometimes a building has to fall on me.

Granny's Music Box

[lgn1]

that would be to easy, wouldn't it

monkeys are optional

[hannamyluv]

Let me amend that, a crank organ... Still looking for the image local though.

[lawman]

Granny's Ole Timey Self Amuser.

Hey, where are my funny pictures?

[lgn1]

cranking is needed, but lawman is getting futher out of tune.

[lawman]

>>Still looking for the image local though

Use "Granny's" in your search. :)

[lawman]

Cranky Ole Granny's Homemade Percussion Instrument

[hannamyluv]

Just to let you know, my computer just reported an attemped driveby install from the hosting site.

[lgn1]

strings not percussion

driveby? (it didn't try to install spyware), if it did
this will be ths last time i use this site for free web hosting for the gizmo quiz.

[lgn1]

and its much older than your granny :)

[lawman]

Great Granny's Ole Timey Hand Cranked Harpsichord

BTW, a piano has strings and it's a percussion instrument.

[lgn1]

talking about tangents. Bundlt was much warmer earlier

Yeah, I guess it is both string and percussion, if you look at it that way.

[lawman]

Hey, all I want is a funny picture out of this.

[coconutz]

Vielle a Roue?

[iamlost]

Is it a Roller Organ?

[lgn1]

Vielle a Roue?. Thats difficult, latter versions of this instrunment may be confused with a Vielle a Roue

Its not a roller organ

[lgn1]

I don't have any funny pictures (well none that would pass the boards TOS ;). I will get some funny pictures next time.

[lawman]

I guess my answers aren't funny enough to rate a funny picture. For better or worse, that's as funny as I get. :(

Bye Bye

<added> Oh goody, maybe I am as funny as I think I am. :) </added>

[bunltd]
