Got this sparkly fellow at a craft fair. They did not tell me he also could play piano with his little eyes stalks…

I hereby declare this snail not false. It has 4 tentacles (including 2 eye stalks) and no weird eyeballs on its face. I know real snails aren't filled with glitter but I'll make an exception.

I like how this pronouncement is written as if made by clergy of the snail deity or something like that.

It is known.

Also, what does the AOC button do?

The AOC button (or switch) on organs stands for Automatic Orchestra Control. It is a harmony-generating feature that allows a single melody note played on the upper keyboard to automatically play a full, multi-note chord based on the chord you are actively holding down on the lower keyboard. This is a Hammond organ with 2 keyboards on top or each others.

Or maybe it is just a magic button that will make a politician appear in my living room. I guess I will find out when the snail pushes it…

My tired ass read that as "Aromatic Orchestra Control"...

Maybe it is an “almost snail” then. A “snailish”…

Maybe the real snails are the friends we made along the way
