     Well, what are you looking at, VALAMANTIS?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Later days, RIO VISTANS, since PRIVATE 
IDAHO took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  KEYBOARDS turned 
their 1-1-0 turn into a 7th 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 
CATTY WOMPUS win a fight and gain 26 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, CATTY WOMPUS beat 
HOUSE RUTH BUILT and HOUSE RUTH BUILT lost 27 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  And 
it's out with the old, in with the new, as THREE RIVERS takes the Title and last 
week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster.  Heh, heh.  Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks 
and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their fights?  Skill?  Ha!   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.  
VALAMANTIS, I am losing what little hope I had in you.  RIO VISTANS the most avoided 
team?  What insult will suffice, I cannot say.  And who led the way in this mass act 
of cowardice?  Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It was ASSASSINS.  Ha ha ha ha!  MR 
MASTODON was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster.  Now was the DM 
insulted or feared?  Heh, heh.   
     Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and 
gone, and get to see if their team cared.  Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess 
what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons?   
     What does the VALAMANTIS arena have in common with the inns?  It's just as 
comfortable to sleep in either place.  Ha ha ha ha!  Just wait 'till next time I show 
up here, I won't be so nice!  So nyaaah!  Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll 
need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens
