Gotta chuckle--- If that's "Retro" what-the-heck is this hand-cranked pencil-eater of mine classified as?

(Just kidding- that is a nice model)

Reg,
That's called "CLASSIC"!!!
hehehe, I guess i called it retro since I can't find one with the cool wood grain on it anymore.

seriously Reg, what's that handle on the side for???

Okay- you may not believe this, but there's a little generator in there, and you give that little crank about 600 spins (really fast), you can sharpen about a dozen pencils and make a cup of pasta.
This doesn't work every time

You guys are just nuts! (I love this place %-D).

Wait a second... Reg i thought pasta was grown in the field and picked after the first rain cause that's when it curled?
