                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last 
week's fights.  Hey everybody, watch out for LOUIS JORDAN, who flew up 17 points in 
the rankings after mashing MOOSE ALINI like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  And 
falling like a basher in the top ten was PHOENIX, who dropped 12 points after a 
disappointing (to say the least) bout with POUNCE.  Drawing on all of his experience 
as a 24-18-0 warrior, PORKY went for the Duelmastership against WALDO WOMBAT this 
week.  Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was BANGERS & 
MASH's PORKY, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by WALDO WOMBAT.  4 out of 
5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that location.   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the OSKSI arena.  Here's a 
song for you:  Who's afraid of the big, bad PET SHOP BOYS?  Big bad PET SHOP BOYS.  
Big bad PET SHOP BOYS.  OSKSI's afraid of the big bad PET SHOP BOYS.  Tra la la la 
la!  And you guys like to boo me?  Well, unsling your rasberries, cause BANGERS & 
MASH beats feet every time PET SHOP BOYS smiles at them.  Try farming, eh?  And who 
is this CALCULATED you ask, with 75 points and a 12-39-0 record.  Ooh, the tales I 
could tell!  In a touching display by a 'touched' warrior, BLIND JOHN DAVIS went 
after MALL WALKER, who was higher by 23 points.  Well, when the dust settled, BLIND 
JOHN DAVIS was overcame by MALL WALKER.   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  Remember:  alliances are great, but try and 
take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.   
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in OSKSI have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  Okay, so I may not be the 
world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  And 
remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've 
heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster
