                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, NIANIA?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed 
to see DA RUNAWAY win a fight and gain 16 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, CHAZZ beat 
CRYINARA and CRYINARA lost 8 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  And if variety is 
the spice of life, NIANIA may be getting bland, as HEAD CHEESE stays top dog in the 
city.  I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I telling you this?  You want to 
know what's new, don't you, NIANIA?   
     My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start 
talking.' I loved that woman.  HATEFUL, 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 who 
led the way in this mass act of cowardice?  Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It was 
MENTOR DEMENTOR.  Ha ha ha ha!  Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, GENERAL PATTERN was 
this turn's most challenged warrior.  Watch that ego swell, sports fans.  I guess I 
can give a little credit to D.N.C. of HATEFUL for challenging up by 18 to TEH 
HADDOCK.  D.N.C. lost to get 29 points of recognition.   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for NIANIA'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 NIANIA arena have in common with the inns?  It's just as 
comfortable to sleep in either place.  Ha ha ha ha!  Phlllt!  Just had to do that 
before I leave the fine city of NIANIA.  I feel much better now.  Glad to see the 
back of this place-- Snide Clemens
