[TheForge] The hard cider is good... OT:

[Jerry Frost]

My folks got one when Jack Lelane started selling juicers in the late 60's. 
The one they had up till they passed on would take large apples as fast as 
you could drop them in. Heck, it'd take heads of cabbage whole and if you 
set it on the corner of a table you could just fill two barrels, one with 
juice, one with pulp. They used it for making jams and jellies mostly.
