Sit back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. Advancing in the rankings was BEACH BABES who went from last turn's 832-1163-24, to this week's record of 836-1164-24. Hey everybody, watch out for THE SHADOW DANCER, who flew up 18 points in the rankings after mashing KONA KATE like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. KONA KATE was subdued by THE SHADOW DANCER and drops 18 points. Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was BUNION SQUAD's RAMROD, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by SONYA. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay. Here is other news that is of note. Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad BUNION SQUAD? Big bad BUNION SQUAD. Big bad BUNION SQUAD. BONSUR's afraid of the big bad BUNION SQUAD. Tra la la la la! Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch SENTINELS' act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from BUNION SQUAD. Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, QUEENIE would be president. Although it may be a contest she doesn't want to win. Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the most interesting, though! Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes and no. Silly buggers, eh? I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of you whom I have not offended yet. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks.

Wish them well, for both will need luck of a differing sort. Stay deadly, my friends. -- Obregon (Harpoon, one of my old-time originals from circa 1988, started out 13-11-5-13-13-20- 9, and trained to 13-11-5-15-13-21-10, with Advanced Experts in Decisiveness, Riposte, and Defense, and an Expert in Initiative.

But fighting is a dangerous business, as I am sure Ramrod is about to find out.
