The younger ones may call me Olaf Modeen. I return to ALJAFIR once again! Biff! Pow! ALJAFIR watched with glee as PERRY STRIKE FORCE got knocked off top spot by NEON SCRAPPERS! Ya gotta be quick on yer feet! Keep your elbow off the table! Thrust! Block out the pain! LIBATIONS 5 is now ranked 7th with a 3-0-0 turn. Some people say I ramble too much, I don't say anything relevant. I repeat myself. I ramble. Well NEON SCRAPPERS moved up 2, to 1st. Another fighter (MATTHEW 18-11-2) challenged another Duelmaster (PERSEUS 20-11-0). Life goes on. I'm sure ALJAFIR is excited about MATTHEW, the new Duelmaster from PERRY STRIKE FORCE. (remember?) But when you've seen as many as I have... Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting! No matter the time or place, men will always duel. The most avoided team was THE SHOWOFFS. The bums at ASSASSINS couldn't face the challenges from THE SHOWOFFS! No excuse for that! What do people see in ALIENIST? His 10-9-0? NEON SCRAPPERS ain't talkin', but he's got 46 points. SNACKY DEFENDER didn't quite know what to make of a challenge he received from LONDON FOG of LIBATIONS 5, who is 19 points below him. LONDON FOG perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he beat SNACKY DEFENDER and ended up with 53 recognition points. I hate going to the effort of writing about the kind of fights that DAYWALKER gets in. He fights people like YOUPON, 8 points below. I thought DAYWALKER showed great skill and promise when he was beat by YOUPON. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters to walk away, or not? Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover stupor. You young rapscallions, take note! Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. The end of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! Time for my medication, so I'll leave now.
