     Well, what are you looking at, ZUWAYZA?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed 
to see PASSIONATELY BALD win a fight and gain 18 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, 
LIL-PEPPA beat ENVY and ENVY lost 10 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  CHILI DOG 
challenged BLACK SAFARI for ZUWAYZA's Title this turn, and guess what happened?  And 
it's out with the old, in with the new, as BLACK SAFARI 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.  What's 
the big D?  CHAOS KIDS was the most avoided team?  Bunch of lily livered... 
grumble... mumble... curse...  And it looks like HELL'S ANGLES avoided them the most 
this turn.  What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.  Hmph.  ACUTE ANGLE was 
challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster.  Now was the DM insulted or 
feared?  Heh, heh.   
     Death and Taxes.  The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience.  Let's 
see if anyone's dead or dying.  Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave 
team is developing these kinds of weapons?   
     There's got to be a better place in ZUWAYZA to get a drink than The Drunken Ox!  
Any suggestions?  Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so nice!  So 
nyaaah!  I see the crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens
