                             Notes from the arena champ.

     What were you DOING out there, Erasmus?  I know you leaned a little heavy on the
smash last night, but I didn't think it was that bad.  I guess maybe I shouldn't make
you chase me around the cabana that many times before fight day, hmm?  Maybe if I'd
let you catch me sooner....

                                    Pensacolita

P.S.  The celebration two weeks ago was great, but perhaps it went on a little too
long.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, 
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again!  SENTINELS had cause to celebrate, after 
NEANDERTHAL got 17 points by beating N'ORLEANS NORA.  PALMETTA PATTY certainly had a 
baffled expression on hers face, after losing to EPEE MYSTIQUE and losing 15 points 
in the process!  PENSACOLITA found out being BONSUR's Duelmaster isn't all nuts and 
berries, receiving 2 challenges!  The arena was more crowded than usual this time, as 
OLIANDER faced BONSUR's Duelmaster.  What can be a greater victory?  OLIANDER has 
taken his place as the top, as BONSUR's new Duelmaster.  So who's the team that's 
been walking into taverns last week and ordering milk?  Sounds like a PR stunt to me. 
     My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter. 
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights!  To quell some nasty rumors, the guys 
in WASTELAND II are not carrying any incurable diseases.  No need to avoid 'em.  As a 
woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of SENTINELS, so did that sorry team shy 
from WASTELAND II  
     Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.  
Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena.  A 
certain tavern in BONSUR would I avoid!   
     Leave me now, you base fools!  Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards fat!  
Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for BONSUR?  On that giddy 
note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

Pensacolita -- The three of Babes at the top are a bit frustrating.  If I plan for
one, I get the other.  Congrats on the throne.  Shall we celebrate it at the cabana?
After that one I really feel the need for some liquid forgetfulness. -- Erasmus

Nora -- That was ugly.  I knew I didn't want to face you.  I also knew I didn't have
the right battle plan.  What I need, perhaps, is to ask Obrojobo for some advice.  He
says "Hi!" by-the-way.  I need a few more skills before trying that one again. --
Chios

Lila -- We dance again.  Enjoyable.  I'm afraid I must ask your teammate and the
titleholder for the next dance.  But I'm sure we will be able to do so again soon. --
Oliander

Wholly Molly -- Gotcha! -- Epee

Lord T. Jeebus -- Lordy, that was not a challenge I expected well of!  But the end
result was not bad at all.  And the skills were good for both of us.  Almost (but not
quite) a win-win situation. -- Rose o' the Reef

Chios -- Wind sprints, followed by some marathon work, I think.  We can find some
amusing goals, I'm sure.  Come out to the cabana tonight and we'll make plans. --
N'Orleans Nora

Oliander -- Oh, cheese, are you sure you learned enough skills in that match?  (a
moment of brooding silence)  I don't see how it's possible, in a fight that short,
for me to teach you five skills.  I suppose... you could've been studying them all
fortnight and just crystalized 'em, but how could you have polished a parry or
riposte skill when I didn't strike a single blow? -- Long Beach Lila

Tubby Babe Martha -- It's just a good thing for you that we've got BIG bathtubs here
in Bonsur. -- Palmetta Patty

Oliander -- Certainly!  We've got some great exercise and diet regimens for improving
staying power.  We'd be glad to share. -- Nora

Neanderthal -- Then what your head needs is probably a flagon of smash.  I'll make
you a special one. -- Lila

31 May 2008
Any and all who live in the 805 area, I would like for you to call me so we can get
together for BBQ's, softball games, and so on.  It has been a while since the last
get together (several years).  It was a blast and I am sure the next one will be
also.  We just have to do it.  All alliances are welcome.  Just because my warriors
leave your warrior beaten and bloody in defeat does not mean we can't have a beer or
five together.  I'll even buy the first round.  So call 805-588-3419 and ask for Dave
a.k.a. Misfit, former member of the Green and Purple Polka Dot Alliance (GAPPDA).

                                  LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS
