                             Notes from the arena champ.

We'll, the boss is starting to wake up from his winter hibernation, so he says I have 
to write a column.   I would like to have words of wisdom, but I don't.  Therefore I 
challenge the two highest ranked contenders:  The inactive Predator, and the active 
Big Jim.   Not sure what will happen.

                                          -- Mrs. Noodle
                                             Open Sesame
                                             Duelmaster of Snowbound

                                      SPY REPORT

     I was going on vacation, see?  Surf, sun...  But what do those bums say?  "Hit 
the road, Debby Tonte.  SNOWBOUND needs a spyreport."  Oh, well.  Too bad, SIGMA 
NU'S, but DARQUE THEORY was just too good to be stopped.  OPEN SESAME like really 
fought hard to move up to 2nd from 7th.  Way to go!  MVP award for TRILL?  DARQUE 
THEORY's proud of her after beating JOSEKI KO and getting 20 points.  Talk about yer 
big time losers!  JOSEKI KO got smashed by TRILL, and lost 17 points!  This 
Duelmaster is like something else!  MRS. NOODLE stopped MARK dead in his tracks!  I 
hear the top team insists all their warriors get nine hours sleep.  They want 
photogenic fighters for PR photos.   
     I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies.  Really, I just 
wing this stuff.  OPEN SESAME was SNOWBOUND's most avoided team.  Is there some award 
for that?  I don't know what DARQUE THEORY's been doing.  They certainly haven't been 
accepting many fights from OPEN SESAME, that's fer sher.  Like, is JACK DEATH 
popular, or what?  He was challenged the most in all of SNOWBOUND!  He's got a 
12-18-1, is that good?   
     What does a fighter fight for?  I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone 
gets killed.  Not after four more fights.  Fight, fight, fight.  Is that all you guys 
can do?   
     I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid.  Who would've guessed I'd be 
a famous Spyreporter?  I gotta leave.  SNOWBOUND is like such a dump, and you guys 
smell too much!  I had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte
