                             Notes from the arena champ.

Now listen up, you know ya come home from working that nine to five and
Lay yourself down on burgundy couch, you know, it never really was
Burgundy. It was red, and you painted with the goddamn sprinkler and
Now you have bits and pieces of burgundy stuck to your but every time
You get off of it. You never tell your family, you never tell your
Family because, you know, ol' Junior, he's got no brains, and what can
You do? What can you do? (And old Junior, you know, got a little crazy
With that P. .J. that one day ??)

Grab yourself a can of pork soda
You'll be feeling just fine
Ain't nothin' quite like sittin' 'round the house
Swillin' down them Cans of swine

Ha ha ha! Yes, Dad's an idiot alright!

Well, alright, I'm really starting to worry about you. You had to have
That two-car garage with the large driveway so you could park that
Goddamn boat in it. If it wasn't for the boat (blah blah blah)

Grab yourself a can of pork soda
You'll be feeling just fine
Ain't nothin' quite like sittin' 'round the house
Swillin' down them Cans of swine

I like Kansas wine

Well, maybe it's something simpler, like your team lost or your
Girlfriend used to be a guy, you know, I don't know. I mean (blah blah blah)

                                      SPY REPORT

     Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, 
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again!  RX MEX2 '86 after a sorry 0-1-0 might want to 
consider abandoning the sands and taking up singing the 'Can't fight no more' blues!  
Nothing works for a team like victory (How's that for a perceptive observation?) as 
INTRUDERS can attest...  INTRUDERS had cause to celebrate, after IN-LAW got 22 points 
by beating LITTLE SONNY JONES.  CHERRY BLOSSOM certainly had a baffled expression on 
hers face, after losing to GNIGHT WHVEN and losing 9 points in the process!  Now I 
can't insult HARRUMPH, as he has gloriously dueled to the top.  Oh great new 
Duelmaster!!!  (Stop me if I lay it on too thick) Word has it one team in DAL SHANG 
is using psychics to predict wins.  They lead a charmed life!   
     And how sociable are DAL SHANG's warriors?  Come, let us see.  Like a horde of 
jackals fleeing from the lion, so did the "warriors" in DAL SHANG avoid KILLER TUNES. 
Like a pup with its tail between its legs, INTRUDERS scurried away from KILLER TUNES. 
Oh, the shame!  Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and HARRUMPH is it right now. 
Most challenged warrior.  Isn't SAND DANCERS proud!   
     Ah, the duel!  The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd!  Ask not for 
whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.   
     All good things must come to an end.  More important duties call me.  Like a 
mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid DAL SHANG farewell-- Novgorodny 
Vir
