Whoops, looks like Biles has competition.
Good review, guys, and I look forward to the next.

Windir: Competition? My dear lady, while my associate and I certainly
appreciate the accolade, "competition" is a word that is foreign to us.
Those of us who participate in the appreciation of Art realize that there
is enough room for everyone. When artists are producing quality work, as
Mr. Biles does, the truly discerning audience can only be enriched by
additional participants.
Frito: Speak for yourself, Windy! If you ain't numero uno, you ain't
nothin'! May the best reviewer win!!!
[Editor's note: Multiple exclamation marks... the sure sign of a diseased
mind.]
Frito: Hey! I heard that!
Windir: Well, Frito... you do understand that if we are going to start
competing for readership, our producer will have to start taking certain
things into account. For example, you would undoubtedly have to become
more... photogenic. <Grins evilly>
Frito: Photogenic? <Looks suspiciously at Windir.>
Windir: Yes. For example, there's the matter of your shave.
Frito: Shave? But... but I *like* my beard! <Rubs his hand over a
7-o'clock shadow>
Windir: That's after your bath, of course.
Frito: BATH?!? <He stares at Windir in open-mouthed shock.>
Windir. Yes. <Grinning broadly now.> And then there's the question of
proper attire... <Holds up a tuxedo.>
Frito: AAAHHHHHH! <He just stands there for a moment, his mouth opening
and closing with nothing coming out.>
Windir: Not to mention --
Frito: Uh, h-hey, th-there's no need to go that far, is there? I mean, we
can all just get along, right?
<Windir says nothing, but smiles smugly.>
