                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
BONSUR brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Now keep the taverns open late 
tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for NINJAS, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped 
them by 9 into 16th.  Ha!  PHILANTHROPISTS2 turned their 3-2-0 turn into a 2nd place 
rank in the listings this turn.  Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists.  
Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see GRUMBLE TUMBLE win a fight and gain 20 
points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, GRUMBLE TUMBLE beat TEUTONIC TERROR and TEUTONIC TERROR 
lost 17 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  Due to absence, and inability to defend 
the throne, LEND A HAND has lost the Title of Duelmaster.  Start setting that alarm 
earlier!  And it's out with the old, in with the new, as CINDER POET takes the Title 
and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster.  Heh, heh.  Kickbacks and bribes, 
kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their fights?  
Skill?  Ha!   
     My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start 
talking.' I loved that woman.  What's the big D?  SENTINELS was the most avoided 
team?  Bunch of lily livered... grumble... mumble... curse...  And who led the way in 
this mass act of cowardice?  Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It was ESPANA.  Ha ha ha 
ha!  Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, NICOLE was this turn's most challenged warrior.  
Watch that ego swell, sports fans.  I guess I can give a little credit to GYPSY of 
ESPANA for challenging up by 24 to TYLER.  GYPSY lost to get 2 points of recognition. 
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for BONSUR's 
morgue.  More variety.  And what a stunning loss we have here, boys and girls, HAWK 
MIND of PHILANTHROPISTS2 has added the final loss to his 5-3-0.  Tee hee!  Nipped in 
the bud, you might say, was DON QUE JOTE of ESPANA this turn.  Course, I wouldn't say 
that, so much as have a belly laugh.  Heh heh.  Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, 
guess what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons?   
     What does the BONSUR arena have in common with the inns?  It's just as 
comfortable to sleep in either place.  Ha ha ha ha!  Well, I've had enough of this 
drivel, and I'm sure you have too.  Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather.  Paste 
this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide
