                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
SNOWBOUND brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Later days, OPEN SESAME, since THE 
BLUES 50 took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  Of course, we're 
all terribly impressed to see GUS CANNON win a fight and gain 16 points, terribly.  
Tsk, tsk, BLACK ACE beat BRIOSO and BRIOSO lost 10 points.  You're breakin' my heart. 
Looks like SNOWBOUND has some guts at least, OSTINATO the Duelmaster was this turn's 
most-challenged warrior.  ISLAND ROOSTER challenged SNOWBOUND's Duelmaster for a shot 
at the throne.  And if variety is the spice of life, SNOWBOUND may be getting bland, 
as OSTINATO stays top dog in the city.  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, SNOWBOUND?   
     My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start 
talking.' I loved that woman.  SNOWBOUND, I am losing what little hope I had in you.  
OPEN SESAME the most avoided team?  What insult will suffice, I cannot say.  And who 
led the way in this mass act of cowardice?  Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It was 
THE BLUES 50.  Ha ha ha ha!  Looks like time for laurels or hemlock, FUGUE was 
challenged by EDDIE MAPP, who was ranked 27 points below him.  Well, ok, the upstart 
knave (where've I heard that before?) won this match and gained 21 points to boot!  
Ha ha ha, FUGUE.  I guess I can give a little credit to DOCTOR CLAYTON of THE BLUES 
50 for challenging up by 25 to JACK DEATH.  DOCTOR CLAYTON won to get 81 points of 
recognition.   
     Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and 
gone, and get to see if their team cared.  Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess 
what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons?   
     There's got to be a better place in SNOWBOUND to get a drink than The Victory 
Tavern!  Any suggestions?  Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so 
nice!  So nyaaah!  Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come 
this winter-- Snide Clemens
