Best Of C-U - Greymatter's Picks

The Buzzard released it's Best of Shampoo-Banana this week, and that seemed like more than enough reason to shake off the dust and wake up the echoes cheering my name. Err, perhaps the cheers are not quite as loud as I purport them to be, but they're at least a smattering of yelps.
