    The third degree is the presentation of the instruments of the inquisition, and an explanation of their use, as an inducement to production of ‘correct’ responses to questioning.

    As a former Castanet performer, I’ve given up my clackers and palillos to my successor, who is a wicked but charming gal!

    Looks like someone has fairly refined tastes, but unfortunately her image has the sure look of a Photoshop fail.

    “de caixa clara” my a$$. That’s a fancy hamburger press.

    P.S. If “de caixa clara” is Swahili for hamburger press then please ignore this comment.

    Stripper’s prefer modern machined caster jets.

    Machined nozzles parts, once or twice in a two year period. Some cast iron car wash pumps too.

    Where the factory belches every day.

    Oh, look! Castanets, in their various manifestations, and spoken in Portuguese, too! No wonder all the Spanish-speakers can’t clack along!
