DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Now ya see me in my movies, doin' my thing
But deep in my heart, I've wanted to sing
"Way down upon
The Suwanee River
Far
Far away
Titwillow, titwillow
Titwillow"
I don't think that's your style
But I'll tell ya, pilgrim, I'm versatile
Aretha Franklin, Aretha Franklin
Aretha Franklin, let me rock ya, let me rock Aretha Franklin
Let me rock Aretha Franklin, that's all I wanna do
Aretha Franklin
Duh-ha, duh-ha
Duh-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Duh-ha, duh-ha
Duh-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Oh, I'm feelin' the groove now, pilgrim
Party over here
Party over there
There's nothin' to it, the way we do it
Woop, woop
East coast
West coast
Texas
Every time I put on pants
I tell ya pilgrim I wanna dance
I put a quarter in the juke'
Then I commence to doin' the Duke
Duh-ha, duh-ha
Duh-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Duh-ha, duh-ha
Duh-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
It's pretty easy, as you can see
Just move your arms kinda freely
Do a pause, and take a step
And just make sure the beat is kept
Duh-ha, duh-ha
Duh-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
I know you are just letting me keep the throne so you can hear my rap to its
conclusion. Good try Sister, thanks for the skills. Got a young whipper snapper going
to be vying for the throne next turn. I imagine with that record, he has more
experience away from Cliffhome than in it. Good luck to ya pilgrim, hopefully I'll be
here to finish it all up.
-- Rappin Duke
SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, CLIFFHOME? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. If this keeps up, THE WATCHMEN, you'll
have to shine swords instead of use them. A drop of 4 in the rankings? LUNATIC
RANCH turned their 4-1-0 turn into a 3rd 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 ONE YUPPIE ARMY win a fight and gain 17 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk,
DESALVO beat BATTERING RAM and BATTERING RAM lost 14 points. You're breakin' my
heart. And it's out with the old, in with the new, as ICARUS takes the Title and
last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. The Choking Ogre, humph!
I've tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From
CLIFFHOME's trash dumps?
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. THE
WATCHMEN, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided team.
Care to know who is the most afraid of you? And it looks like LUNATIC RANCH avoided
them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph.
BATTERING RAM was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the
DM insulted or feared? Heh, heh.
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for CLIFFHOME's
morgue. More variety. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use.
Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for
an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Phlllt! Just had to do that before
I leave the fine city of CLIFFHOME. I feel much better now. Glad to see the back of
this place-- Snide Clemens
