Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, PHILTHBALLS, since BEN'S BAZAAR took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. If this keeps up, PHILTHBALLS, you'll have to shine swords instead of use them. A drop of 9 in the rankings? LEGEND KILLERS turned their 4-0-0 turn into a 7th place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists. Gee, I'm impressed, a 4-1-1 is nice, but don't get cocky, REPTILE RAMPAGE, the Fates teach humility, and the Fates are proud. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see PHLEM win a fight and gain 21 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, POSSESSED WIFE beat XANADU and XANADU lost 17 points. You're breakin' my heart. KNOF MOONWILLOW challenged SUNSET's Duelmaster for a shot at the throne. And it's out with the old, in with the new, as KNOF MOONWILLOW takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I telling you this? You want to know what's new, don't you, SUNSET? Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. What's the big D? BIG LAKE TERROR was the most avoided team? Bunch of lily livered... grumble... mumble... curse... And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was GRIM FANDANGO. Ha ha ha ha! Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, EUSTACE BAGGE was this turn's most challenged warrior. Watch that ego swell, sports fans. I guess I can give a little credit to AJANTI DAGGER of BEN'S BAZAAR for challenging up by 24 to MANIC MARVIN. AJANTI DAGGER won to get 107 points of recognition. Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for SUNSET's morgue. More variety. REPTILE RAMPAGE has cause to pause today, as FORKED TONGUE was sent to the Dark Arena, and came back--though not in the best of moods, I'll wager. Now hey, I like to see a death as much as the next guy, but hey WORLD BLADES, whyja send PHOENIX to the Dark Arena, look at his record, huh? And what a stunning loss we have here, boys and girls, DRUNKEN SAILOR of SEA SHANTIES has added the final loss to his 10-8-1. Tee hee! Not that I'll be buying the drinks, but I'll be glad to see FLYING DUTCHMAN and SEA SHANTIES at Cagliostro's Castle tonight celebrating their bloodfeud victory over DIAMONDBACK. 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 SUNSET to get a drink than Cagliostro's Castle! Any suggestions? Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather.
