DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I don't figure that was really a fair match for Philolaus, but then, who said
life was fair? Good try, though, which is what I would expect of one of Sleepy's
guys.
I've given some thought to what I might cook in honor of my opponent, and while
philly steak is out--I like my steaks more substantial--I did finally come up with a
possibility: a light, flaky pastry with honey and cinnamon. It's still in the
testing stage, but two or three more batches and I should have something worth
sharing.
Come help with the taste-testing, or maybe it's the test tasting? Anyway, drop
on by the Sweet Shop, Philly, and give it a try.

SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, RIZTAB? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, FORCE OF FIVE, since
DREAMERS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Of course, we're
all terribly impressed to see SETH win a fight and gain 13 points, terribly. Tsk,
tsk, PHILOLAUS beat HAWKEYE and HAWKEYE lost 11 points. You're breakin' my heart.
And it's out with the old, in with the new, as PYTHAGORAS takes the Title and last
week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks
and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their fights? Skill? Ha!
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and
gone, and get to see if their team cared. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess
what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons?
I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for
an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Well, I've had enough of this
drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. Glad
to see the back of this place-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Pythagoras -- I was wrestling, seems like not the first time, with triangular thisses
and thats, and some guy came along and said that geometry doesn't have to be all
triangles, there's also circles and pi. What a relief! I feel well ready to deal
with pie. Right now I'm thinking of one with a sort of honey custard with raisins
and nuts in it. -- Carlotta
P.S. And the pieces cut out of it will be triangular, so it's okay that way, too.
What a relief!
Protagoras -- Listen, I found a really weird recipe for, well, sweet meat. Not
candies, but meat and honey and fruits. Not quite mince pie stuff, either, but
getting toward it, I think. And I gotta tell you, it seems to me like an offense
against both the meats and fruits. Why would anyone gussy up meat that much? Well,
okay, if it was about to age beyond edibility, or if it was really rank or uneatable
otherwise, but I'm suspicious by nature, and surely "cuisine," as such, was invented
so people could pretend their food wasn't spoiling! -- Kissa Belle
Euripedes -- Wow, I almost mistook you for Aristophanes! That would've been unfair
to you, well, probably to Aristophanes, too. But I was thinking of a review of
Aristophanes's work that I read the other day, and wow, somebody back in his day sure
didn't like him! Amazing, the way old venom keeps. -- Dora Bell
P.S. Which does not inspire me to cook anything you'd care to eat, trust me on this.
Whoa! Input error! Or someone's, anyway. No reason I should be training my wit,
I've got enough to go on with. I bet it was a typo and should have been... no, that
doesn't work, either. Well, anyway, I'm going to FIX this. -- Tinakarina
P.S. I hope.
We salute all those who participated in the tourney, even those who aren't currently
active here in Riztab itself. -- Jorja and Sweet Magic
