SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in ARUAK
CITY. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! Say
good-bye to ANIMAL FARM, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the THE
HITCHHIKERS stable. Coming up with a solid 3-2-0 outing, THE HITCHHIKERS has
advanced 3 places in the rankings. BULLDOGS is no joke as it posted a 4-1-1 week
advancing from 3rd place to 4th place. Hey everybody, watch out for ZAPHOD
BEEBLEBROX, who flew up 17 points in the rankings after mashing PURPLE PASSION like a
melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on
the sands. MINUTE STEAK was overcame by KHALHUMS DWARF and drops 9 points. Drawing
on all of his experience as a 20-1-0 warrior, PURPLE PIG went for the Duelmastership
against SERENITY this week. Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody
knuckles was ANIMAL FARM's PURPLE PIG, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by
SERENITY. 4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming
at that location.
Here is other news that is of note. Did you hear that CANNIBALZ was most
avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal hygiene of CANNIBALZ's warriors,
I'm not surprised! And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling your rasberries,
cause BULLDOGS beats feet every time CANNIBALZ smiles at them. Try farming, eh?
Well just about everybody wants a piece of IRVIN FLETE, who was this week's most
challenged warrior.
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Ask not the elves for counsel, for they
will say both yes and no. Silly buggers, eh?
Well, there's the manager of the ARUAK CITY giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Well, there goes another Spy Report.
Good luck in next week's fights. And remember, you can pick your friends and you can
pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster

it and that we will see you there!
