                                      SPY REPORT

     Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, 
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again!  BOOZE after a sorry 1-1-0 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 
GOD SQUAD can attest...  RUN DMC had cause to celebrate, after COLOSSEUM HALLS got 23 
points by beating ABYSSINIAN.  A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and 
practice more, after losing 31 points to COLOSSEUM HALLS.  (Discrete enough, 
ABYSSINIAN?) Well, Duelmaster GRASSCUTTER challenged LOW ROAD 3's CHELSEA NOREN.  Is 
a 10-0-1 good enough?  Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster were disappointed by 
CHELSEA NOREN, of LOW ROAD 3, who despite a 19-12-0 couldn't overcome MORDANT's 
Number 1.  So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week and ordering 
milk?  Sounds like a PR stunt to me.   
     A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn?  And do not the 
little birds cry out?'  Any ideas?  Like the noble eagle soaring amongst the 
mountaintops, so stand the warriors of SWEORDMASTERS, alone and unchallenged.  Like a 
pup with its tail between its legs, RUN DMC scurried away from SWEORDMASTERS.  Oh, 
the shame!  Is it charming personality?  Conversational abilities?  Good oral 
hygiene?  Whatever it is, CHELSEA NOREN is the most challenged warrior.   
     Is there life after death?  Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after 
life!  Oh hard!  that to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!   
     Do not think spyreporting in MORDANT is the highlight of my life.  As if 
buffeted by forces of nature beyond my control, I must take my leave of this place.  
Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid MORDANT farewell-- 
Novgorodny Vir

Grasscutter -- Good fight.  It's a relief not to have the column to do.  Thanks. --
Chelsea Noren

For the rest, it wasn't JUST snakes and standbys, but that's what it felt like.  And
since snakes and standbys don't write personals, or read them, at a guess, we're
going to just say:

To those we fought -- Good fight. -- We who fought you
P.S.  We're tired tonight.  You don't want personals written by tired minds.  Trust
me, you don't.
