SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! Those betting on CRUEL PET NAMES lost their shirt, as CRUEL PET NAMES
lost their fighting abilities: 0-0-0. What's a move up by 4 you ask? (alright,
maybe you didn't ask) Cause for celebration, according to TMM EXPERIMENTS 103. Good
things come to those who fight well, as DREAMS WORK can attest, moving up by 3.
Practice pays for RESTON, who pummelled NEERLY STENN, to pocket 22 points. A certain
someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 9 points to
HUMPTY DUMPTY. (Discrete enough, ROSIE COTTON?) Duelmaster GRANDPA JACK from DIRTY
DOZENS is going for the gold, as he challenged OXY MORONS' SLEEPY JOE. Ooh, the
excitement! Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster were disappointed by SLEEPY JOE, of
OXY MORONS, who despite a 18-19-1 couldn't overcome ZENSU's Number 1. Word has it
one team in ZENSU is taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to death.
I'll bet it works.
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in OXY
MORONS are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em. Like a pup
with its tail between its legs, PANDORA'S BOX scurried away from OXY MORONS. Oh, the
shame! Is it charming personality? Conversational abilities? Good oral hygiene?
Whatever it is, MILITANT PACIFIST is the most challenged warrior.
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Ask not for
whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.
All good things must come to an end. My fingers tire and I fear my incessant
prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable character. Like a mixed
metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid ZENSU farewell-- Novgorodny Vir
