                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
VALAMANTIS brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Later days, PRIVATE IDAHO, since 
KEYBOARDS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  Now let's all 
watch KEYBOARDS' heads swell from their 3-1-0 this turn.  Haa ha ha ha!  Big shots, 
big talk, big deal.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see VARMILO win a 
fight and gain 20 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, KUNG-FU MASTER beat DUCKY ONE and 
DUCKY ONE lost 16 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  Due to absence, and inability 
to defend the throne, EARTHO has lost the Title of Duelmaster.  Start setting that 
alarm earlier!  And it's out with the old, in with the new, as WOBKEY takes the Title 
and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster.  Heh, heh.  The Aradi Alyia, humph!  
I've tasted better ale at mortuaries.  Where do they get this stuff?  From 
VALAMANTIS' trash dumps?   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.  What's 
the big D?  MISSISSIPPI BLUES was the most avoided team?  Bunch of lily livered... 
grumble... mumble... curse...  And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice?  
Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It was KEYBOARDS.  Ha ha ha ha!   
     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.  Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only 
shines through use.  Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.   
     I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for 
an epee.  Forgive me for writing with a dagger.  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
