                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
DWES EG brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  With any luck, I can sneak into The 
Swinging Aardvark and join HOUSE TSALOKHIN F's celebration over their good record 
this turn.  5th place, not bad.  If The Swinging Aardvark is buying drinks for 
PROBLEMS' good turn, I'm afraid the place will be dry before long.  A 1-0-1 makes for 
a big thirst.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see GARGANTUAN win a fight 
and gain 19 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, WAR ANGEL beat MOON BEAR and MOON BEAR lost 
14 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  And it's out with the old, in with the new, as 
MOSE MANUEL takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster.  Heh, 
heh.  The Swinging Aardvark, humph!  I've tasted better ale at mortuaries.  Where do 
they get this stuff?  From DWES EG's trash dumps?   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for DWES EG's 
morgue.  More variety.  We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate 
catches up with you sooner that later?   
     What does the DWES EG arena have in common with the inns?  It's just as 
comfortable to sleep in either place.  Ha ha ha ha!  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
