Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. If The Swinging Aardvark is buying drinks for BB SOCCER's good turn, I'm afraid the place will be dry before long. A 2-0-0 makes for a big thirst. With any luck, I can sneak into The Swinging Aardvark and join GIANTS & GOLEMS IX's celebration over their good record this turn. 7th place, not bad. Look out below! PLATINUM HORDE is on the way down, falling to 32nd from 18th with a 0-1-0! Ha ha ha ha! Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see THE GREAT EVIL win a fight and gain 16 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, SAND GIANT beat TAILGATING and TAILGATING lost 9 points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of life, DRAGONHEAD may be getting bland, as SLOWINFASTLANE stays top dog in the city. Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their fights? Skill? Ha! Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. WOMEN OF CHATZY, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided team. Care to know who is the most afraid of you? And it looks like BASH BROS COMMUTER avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. QUARGOL-SEVEN was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM insulted or feared? Heh, heh. Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for DRAGONHEAD's morgue. More variety. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons? What does the DRAGONHEAD arena have in common with the inns? It's just as comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah!
