                                      SPY REPORT

     Oh, hi.  Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte.  Thought I'd check out TRANSEL to see 
what's new.  Cut this out and put it in your scrapbooks, Z.A.P.P. MASTERS!  'Cause 
they got 3-1-0 and moved up to 3rd!  MVP award for AMBER TASMANIAN?  METALLIC WOLVES' 
proud of him after beating PSYCHO KILLER and getting 17 points.  Talk about yer major 
upsets!  MORAN's match with JENNEY SWEET cost him a loss of 5 points!  Like BLACK AND 
BLUES' SKIP is sweating since he got challenged by Duelmaster HOT MOOSE KNUCKLE!  Was 
that a tear I saw in SKIP's eye, as he took over Duelmastership?  And wasn't HOT 
MOOSE KNUCKLE fit to be tied!  Who was the wiseguy that said TRANSEL's Duelmaster was 
paying for drinks at The Victory Tavern?  Don't look at me!   
     Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right?  The warriors of BLACK AND BLUES 
must be getting lonely.  They were the most avoided team.  Do you guys know something 
that I don't?  I don't know what Z.A.P.P. MASTERS' been doing.  They certainly 
haven't been accepting many fights from BLACK AND BLUES, that's fer sher.  Can BLACK 
AND BLUES' SKIP be more popular than me?  He was challenged the most, but is that 
really the same?  Speaking of challenging 32 points above did you hear about 
ZIRCOTHIAN of Z.A.P.P. MASTERS vs. FIRST NAME BASIS' ASH?  (And how was that intro!) 
Like, was that some fighting on ZIRCOTHIAN's part, or what?  And he got 21 points out 
of it!  (besides getting in my report)  Poor ASH.   
     Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds.  All TRANSEL ever talks about is fighting!  
Me, I'm more laid back.  Fight, fight, fight.  Is that all you guys can do?   
     Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain.  Soak it in cold water, and hand 
wash.  I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits.  I had a fun 
time, see you later-- Debby Tonte
