                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in 
CLIFFHOME.  Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  Say 
good-bye to THE WATCHMEN, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the 
U.A.K. stable.  Hey everybody, watch out for RUSSET POTATO, who flew up 22 points in 
the rankings after mashing DOLLAR BILL like a melon.  Keep your eye on this gal.  Ya 
know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  DOLLAR BILL was beat by 
RUSSET POTATO and drops 19 points.  Well here's a duelmaster that doesn't sit back 
and say 'Challenge me'!  HELLO KITTY made a challenge against CAPTAIN METROPOLIS this 
week.  In front of all the crowds, CAPTAIN METROPOLIS took the Duelmaster's crown for 
his own.  I give the bum two weeks.  Advice to bashers--never force anything, just 
get a bigger halberd!   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the CLIFFHOME arena.  Here's 
a song for you:  Who's afraid of the big, bad U.A.K.?  Big bad U.A.K..  Big bad 
U.A.K..  CLIFFHOME's afraid of the big bad U.A.K..  Tra la la la la!  Okay, so I may 
not be funny, but catch LEYBINDERS' act in the arena.  Those acrobats seem to be 
fairly deft at running from U.A.K..  Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, 
HULK HOGAN would be president.  Although it may be a contest he doesn't want to win.  
Well, it looks like PAWS wasn't happy with last turn's rank, so he went for broke by 
challenging up 31 points.  No guts, no glory.  To the crowd's chants of 'Bo-zo bo-zo 
bo-zo', HULK HOGAN was taken out by the lower-ranked PAWS.  (Maybe it's time to think 
Dark Arena?).   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  Here's some advice:  warriors 
with little wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.   
     I think I had better cut this one short.  It's been nice chatting to those of 
you whom I have not offended yet.  Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian, 
but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  Its been fun, and I'm sure you 
enjoyed it (boos).  Now that I've got you worked up for Snide Clemens, I'll be 
leaving-- The Unknown Spymaster
