Never fear, Olaf Modeen adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. Bein' on top is great while it lasts, THE RUNAROUND. But how many friends do you have now? What's with BUTTER THE BEST? He actually beat THE RUNAROUND's GENERAL PATTERN, and walked away with 20 more points from the fight. Major screwup at THE GOLDEN FISH. TEH HADDOCK lost 18 points to FENZE. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe TEH HADDOCK will provide more easy wins... I'm sure NIANIA is excited about HEAD CHEESE, the new Duelmaster from STINKY MEAT. (remember?) But when you've seen as many as I have... Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting! If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. The most avoided team was THE GOLDEN FISH. In my day, no team with a 1031-1137-29 would scare me off! What's the problem, 2ND DIRE LANCERS? How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, CORTICAL GIANT! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you. I hate going to the effort of writing about the kind of fights that LUCY gets in. She fights people like GLITTERING REEF, 13 points below. I thought LUCY showed great skill and promise when she bested GLITTERING REEF. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters don't accept this. The best do. How long have I been here? I got people to see, places to go... Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt. Are you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm writing it before you read it. Oh, well. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now.

Maybe not all of them outright, but that's the underlying message. He thinks we're worthless, and it's all because Jorja refused to correct my name! -- THE Haddock LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS LUCY devastated GLITTERING REEF in a 2 minute gruesome mismatched Challenge fight.
