                                      SPY REPORT

     So why do I have this bag over my head?  Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and 
I'm going to give you a spy report!.  Hey everybody, watch out for MURRAY, who flew 
up 27 points in the rankings after mashing LUKE'S like a melon.  Keep your eye on 
this guy.  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  LUKE'S was 
subdued by MURRAY and drops 20 points.  Going for the gusto and coming up with aught 
but bloody knuckles was OTTO'S PARTS' DENTAL IMPLANT, who was turned away from the 
Duelmastership by CABRON.  An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day 
keeps T.P.s at bay.   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the FRATSFA arena.  Here's a 
song for you:  Who's afraid of the big, bad TEABAG@NOLA 23.1?   Big bad TEABAG@NOLA 
23.1.  Big bad TEABAG@NOLA 23.1.  FRATSFA's afraid of the big bad TEABAG@NOLA 23.1.  
Tra la la la la!  And you guys like to boo me?  Well, unsling your rasberries, cause 
OTTO'S PARTS beats feet every time TEABAG@NOLA 23.1 smiles at them.  Try farming, eh? 
And who is this DENTAL IMPLANT you ask, with 86 points and a 12-24-0 record.  Ooh, 
the tales I could tell!   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  Well, the arena is no place for slow 
learners (and hopefully T.P.s) and ICE UNICYCLE demonstrated that very violently on 
FATTY LIVER's body.  Remember:  alliances are great, but try and take your ally in 
the arena with you and see what happens.   
     I think I had better cut this one short.  It's been nice chatting to those of 
you whom I have not offended yet.  Well, there goes another Spy Report.  Good luck in 
next week's fights.  Its been real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real 
fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster
