      "And with that, Greggery turned & strode nonchalantly into his dinky little office, with the desk, and the catalog, and the very hip water pipe, and proceeded with a vigor and determination know only to piglets of a similarly diminutive proportion to single-handedly invent the calendar. With his eyes rolled heavenward, and his little shiny pig hoofs on the desk, Greggery ponders the question of eternity, and fractional divisions thereof, as mysterious angelic voices, sing to him from a great distance, providing the necessary clues for the construction of his new thrilling new trend. And thus the calendar, in all of its colorful disguises, was presented to the board and miserable people everywhere. The steno pool identified with it strenuously, and worshiped it as a way of life, and tool their little pills by it, and went back and forth from work by it, and paid their rent by it, and before long they were even having birthday parties in the office by it. Because now at last, Greggery Peccary's exciting new invention had made it possible for everyone to find out how old they were." --Frank Zappa

                                Bansai will always be among the very best, but he's not alone at the top any more. There are a few REALLY fast, REALLY good players. The great nanrich, and all those really fast 100%s are so impressive. Bansai has his own niche with funny banter, incredible scores, and deep knowledge of many subjects.
