                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
RODEKI brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Of course, we're all terribly 
impressed to see HOPE MILLS win a fight and gain 8 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, HOPE 
MILLS beat SHEMEKIA COPELAND and SHEMEKIA COPELAND lost 3 points.  You're breakin' my 
heart.  And it's out with the old, in with the new, as FIRE AND STEEL 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.  SAXON, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this 
turn's most avoided team.  Care to know who is the most afraid of you?  And who led 
the way in this mass act of cowardice?  Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It was MI 
CASA.  Ha ha ha ha!  ZORA YOUNG 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.  We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if 
the fate catches up with you sooner that later?   
     There's got to be a better place in RODEKI to get a drink than The Welcome 
Wench!  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.  Paste this one in your scrapbooks, 
you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens
