                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
ZUKAL brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Of course, we're all terribly 
impressed to see CASSOWARY win a fight and gain 18 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, 
CASSOWARY beat BIG BERTHA and BIG BERTHA lost 18 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  
SMART challenged ZUKAL's Duelmaster for a shot at the throne.  And it's out with the 
old, in with the new, as SMART 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!   
     My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start 
talking.' I loved that woman.  What's the big D?  ARENA FELINES was the most avoided 
team?  Bunch of lily livered... grumble... mumble... curse...  And it looks like 
RAVENCLAW avoided them the most this turn.  What a pack of would be losers, if you 
ask me.  Hmph.  Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, BIG BERTHA was this turn's most 
challenged warrior.  Watch that ego swell, sports fans.  And we have WITTY in a 
challenge, going down 15 points for the fight.  Guess what?  I thought WITTY showed 
great skill and promise when he defeated BICHON FRISEFLOYD.  All right, so I slept 
through it!  Big deal!   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for ZUKAL's 
morgue.  More variety.  Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use.  
Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.   
     There's got to be a better place in ZUKAL to get a drink than The Blue Boar Inn! 
Any suggestions?  Phlllt!  Just had to do that before I leave the fine city of ZUKAL. 
I feel much better now.  Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling 
come this winter-- Snide Clemens
