  1. So apparently there a lot of banjo playing unicyclists. Banjo125,
    obviosuly plays, I play, and today a bumber sticker for banjo.com came
    alongside a unicycle.com bumpersticker in the box with my new seat post
    clamp.

    Weird. I wonder if one naturally draws the other.

    Does anyone else here play, can you play while riding? I can, but since
    I can't idle well I can't put on a show.

    John Drummond, owner of Unicycle.com, is a banjo player and he has
    recently started up Banjo.com.

    The Drummonds who run Unicycle.com also run Banjo.com. John threatened
    to hold my latest uni order hostage unless I also ordered a banjo. Don't
    be surprised if you get tuning pegs instead of crank bolts with your
    next order.

    *Disclaimer:* The first sentence in the above is true. The second two
    sentences are jokes. They are meant to be humorous not serious. John did
    not hold my last order hostage for the reason stated above or any other
    reason. He sent it in a timely manner with all the parts I ordered. John
    and the entire staff of unicycle.com and banjo.com are fully capable of
    distinguishing unicycle parts from banjo parts. They will not send banjo
    parts with your unicycle order nor visa-versa (John, don't make me a
    liar). Darren Bedford will not begin including tawdry t-shirts with your
    next unicycle order unless you request one. Roger will not attempt to
    foist marmite or marmite based products on you if you order unicycles or
    any other unicycling paraphernalia from him.

  6. Did anyone else notice that if you take a midi file with "Onto us a
    child is born" from Händels "Messiah" and change the instruments to
    banjo, parts of it sounds kinda like duelling banjos?

    Why yes, I did notice that. What an amazing coincidence.

  9. I could use some wood finish and a mute. And maybe some new strings if I
    keep playing the way I have. If I order unicycle and banjo parts in the
    same hour will I get them in the same box? It would be economical.

  12. It requires a lot of elbow flapping, at least on bumby ground.
