                                      SPY REPORT

     So why do I have this bag over my head?  Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and 
I'm going to give you a spy report!.  Coming up with a solid 1-2-0 outing, PSYCHO 
SQUAD has advanced 3 places in the rankings.  Hey everybody, watch out for FELIX, who 
flew up 24 points in the rankings after mashing DOLFIN like a melon.  Keep your eye 
on this guy.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was ZAPPIAN WAY, who dropped 
12 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with MARSHA.  Going for the 
gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was FIRST NAME BASIS' DERL, who 
was turned away from the Duelmastership by GREG.  Can you believe they are paying me 
10 gold to deliver this stuff?   
     Here is other news that is of note.  Here's a song for you:  Who's afraid of the 
big, bad BLACK AND BLUES?  Big bad BLACK AND BLUES.  Big bad BLACK AND BLUES.  
TRANSEL's afraid of the big bad BLACK AND BLUES.  Tra la la la la!  And you guys like 
to boo me?  Well, unsling your rasberries, cause RAT PAK beats feet every time BLACK 
AND BLUES smiles at them.  Try farming, eh?  In a touching display by a 'touched' 
warrior, RATIGAN-RAT went after SKIP, who was higher by 23 points.  Well, when the 
dust settled, RATIGAN-RAT was beat by SKIP.  KNACK MCZAPPIGAN of Z.A.P.P. MASTERS had 
better have a good reason for challenging down 12 points in a challenge which he won. 
I thought KNACK MCZAPPIGAN showed great skill and promise when he won victory over 
JENNEY SWEET.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  Well, the dead guy GEBO just took RUNE off his Christmas 
card list.  The poor guy's bloodfeud just expired with zippo results.  Ask not the 
elves for counsel, for they will say both yes and no.  Silly buggers, eh?   
     Well, there's the manager of the TRANSEL giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?).  Okay, so I may not be the world's 
best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  Hasta la bye-bye. 
(Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown Spymaster
