                             Notes from the arena champ.

As the one guy said to the other guy when he was getting fed up, I'm getting fed up. I 
want to wash my smalls, and I don't mean dip my tiddlies in a glass of water.

Time to go. See you on the Isle.

                                             -- Mike

                                      SPY REPORT

     Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, 
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again!  LENPROS had cause to celebrate, after AUNT 
SADIE got 11 points by beating AERYN.  A certain someone should cut down on the 
drinking and practice more, after losing 6 points to AUNT SADIE.  (Discrete enough, 
AERYN?) MIKE successfully staved off a grab for the roses by MAX of LENPROS.  Does 
IAYE have no one talented enough to dethrone him?  Word has it one team in IAYE is 
using psychics to predict wins.  They lead a charmed life!   
     A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn?  And do not the 
little birds cry out?'  Any ideas?  To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in CLOWDER 
W/ CLAWS are not carrying any incurable diseases.  No need to avoid 'em.  As a woman 
of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of LENPROS, so did that sorry team shy from 
CLOWDER W/ CLAWS Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and =^.^= is it right now.  
Most challenged warrior.  Isn't CLOWDER W/ CLAWS proud!   
     The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on...  Oh hard!  that to 
strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!   
     Leave me now, you base fools!  As the seasons change, and the creatures of the 
wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place.  Do not despair!  I 
shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir
