     Well, what are you looking at, ZUKAL?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed 
to see BLITZBOLT win a fight and gain 21 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, BLITZBOLT beat 
JOSALYN and JOSALYN lost 12 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  And it's out with the 
old, in with the new, as QUEEN OF CLUBS takes the Title and last week's bar tab from 
the old Duelmaster.  Heh, heh.  The Blue Boar Inn, humph!  I've tasted better ale at 
mortuaries.  Where do they get this stuff?  From ZUKAL's trash dumps?   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.   
     Death and Taxes.  The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience.  Let's 
see if anyone's dead or dying.  Not that I'll be buying the drinks, but I'll be glad 
to see BLITZBOLT and NEON FENCERS 2 at The Blue Boar Inn tonight celebrating their 
bloodfeud victory over JOSALYN.  Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what 
brave team is developing these kinds of weapons?   
     There's got to be a better place in ZUKAL to get a drink than The Blue Boar Inn! 
Any suggestions?  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
