The younger ones may call me Olaf Modeen. I return to SUNSET once again! Bein' on top is great while it lasts, BEN'S BAZAAR. But how many friends do you have now? Phhbltt! Too much drinking and too little dodging gave KENDER INVASION a 0-0-0! I got a good laugh out of it! Ya gotta be quick on yer feet! Keep your elbow off the table! Thrust! Block out the pain! THE OOZE ZONE is now ranked 4th with a 3-2-0 turn. Some people say I ramble too much, I don't say anything relevant. I repeat myself. I ramble. Well PHILTHBALLS moved up 2, to 7th. See how the Duelmaster challenged BIG LAKE TERROR's DARK EMPATHY? That sort of initiative is how she got where she is now. I can barely restrain my enthusiam for BIG LAKE TERROR's outstanding member, Duelmaster DARK EMPATHY. Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on? I hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners. Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... How well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, BIG LAKE TERROR! In my day, no team with a 658-621-43 would scare me off! What's the problem, NOMADIC TRIBE? How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, UNCHAINABLE! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you. WALLY-GATOR of PHILTHBALLS knows how to pick 'em. She challenged SAMMY SLICK of THE OOZE ZONE who is up by 19. Now was this a wise move? WALLY-GATOR perhaps got hers just desserts, seeing as she won victory over SAMMY SLICK and ended up with 62 recognition points. I hate going to the effort of writing about the kind of fights that LEFTY MCGRIM gets in. He fights people like PHLEM, 11 points below. I thought LEFTY MCGRIM showed great skill and promise when he was subdued by PHLEM. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! Warriors of SUNSET unite. You have only your games to lose! Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover stupor. You young rapscallions, take note! Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt. All work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf. Olaffighterwork and no play. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now.

Not the little part, that was pretty clear, but the other. A good matchup. -- Sterling Savant Zombie Bride -- Not the best match for you, but you held it together better than some other zombies I have known. -- The Beast I would like to thank everyone in advance for allowing the Tribe to avoid taking a loss this turn and thus avoid hitting 1,000 losses. If you failed to do your courteous duty and pushed us over that edge, that was downright rude. We expected better of you. -- Nomad and the Tribe One ripper and one plunger, but eleven lungers. Typical. Kiwi Smuggler -- Just my luck to draw you for the big debut. Take your fuzzy balls somewhere else. -- Blak Box Wasting Time -- Wowza, that definitely was NOT a waste for me! -- Neverknot Unchainable -- Almost... -- Lefty M. Infidelity -- Shwack! -- Gutpile Nomad -- We'll pour one out at the Double B tonight for loss 1,000! LOL! -- Stik and G.F.
