                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, warriors of KALTOS!  Once again I've been called out of retirement 
for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting.  What's with CLANK?  He actually 
beat SPORTS GREATS' WOODS, and walked away with 12 more points from the fight.  
Laughs were big at KALTOS while they watched DANGEROUS CRIMINAL clobber WRATHCHILD.  
He lost 6 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands.  Try as she 
might, HELENE JUSTE wasn't good enough at persuading GRETZKY to step down from the 
Duelmaster's throne...  Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on?  I 
hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.   
     If at first you don't succeed, avoid.  That'll get you in the Spyreports.  How 
well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team!  Don't fall out of 
practive, SPORTS GREATS!  In my day, no team with a 50-42-7 would scare me off!  
What's the problem, PAPER MARIO?  What do people see in JERI LOUGH?  Hers 12-25-0?  
THE MIDDLE WAY 5 ain't talkin', but she's got 99 points.   
     A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing.  Some fighters 
don't accept this.  The best do.  Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting 
younger every day?  To die so young, so gloriously!   
     Well, I'm pretty much through.  You guys need to get back practicing.  The end 
of another Spyreport!  That's cause for celebration in my book!  I don't want to 
overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

Ali -- Me 'n all the guys always thought you were a great one!  Salute. -- Slinky 'n
boys

Beggar -- Sorry, but you were soooooooooooooooooo persistent. -- Clank

Fergus -- But, but, it's for ME!  Can't you swim?  I will make it worth your while.
(wink) -- Bombette

Woods -- Ah, but I was a farm boy, you see.  Used to cutting down woods.  Hacking it
up, making it into billets of firewood, even burning it to charcoal!  You were no
match for ME, boy. -- Gerdig Ibbins of the Swelled Head

Gretzky -- Nonsense!  My manager would lose much MORE sleep in regard to me if I were
one of those people always putting herself forward, claiming some elevated and
conspicuous position.  NOT my style at all. -- Helene Juste

Aha!  I knew if I studied Kung-Fu in secret, I'd get my chance!  Whammo!  Ka-POW!
Thumpa thumpa THUMP!  One Kung-Fu Master bites the sand, and it will RUIN your teeth,
you know. -- Jeri Lough the Triumphant

Wow, that Venomous Concubine just TOTALLY does not take a joke! -- Orverd Quill

Isn't it strange?  When one least expects it, M. Chardinee comes along and is a
perfect gentleman.  I didn't know that was in his job description. -- Elinde Goss

Geroge Maloth, Captured Orc -- Yeah, right.  They all say that. -- Gerdig Ibbins

Oskan Steeltooth of Khalhums -- Well... it depends on how you define "have my wicked
way with you," doesn't it?  Let's negotiate this. -- Elinde Goss

Our congratulations to Gretzky. -- Jorja and the Middle Way

Clank -- That was uncalled-for!  That was rude, cruel, and brutal!  You're a cad! --
Oh-John, Persistent (and Resurrected) Beggar

Elinde Goss -- I enjoy the earnest way you plan out your "narrow" victories, young
lady.  The way you wrinkle your nose (very fetching), and stick the tip of your
tongue out.  I will confess that it inspires me to non-gladiatorial concepts. -- M.
Tolovi Chardinee

Orverd Quill -- You beast!  Of course *I* am slim, but a slim VICTORY always results
in chipping my nail polish.  This is unacceptable, and I shall demonstrate to you
EXACTLY how you are to yield in a LARGE and GENEROUS fashion in the future. -- Devrie
Scatha, Concubine Out of Favor

Jeri Lough -- Ah!  You have been studying, Grasshopper.  This is good. -- Master Fu
Toledo, Expert of Esoteric Martial Arts and Flower Arranging
