DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Roses are red.
Midas has gold.
The fish are fed.
Five Titles is old.
Grass is green
My tale is told.
A lovely pond scene
Is something to behold.
On Golden Pond, DMV
SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, WILLAF? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Of course, we're all terribly impressed
to see BUDOKUMO win a fight and gain 19 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, FANGS ARDENTE
beat SHADOW DANCER and SHADOW DANCER lost 14 points. You're breakin' my heart.
Going for broke or broken, our Duelmaster BAABRA LAMMONT challenged this turn. And
if variety is the spice of life, WILLAF may be getting bland, as ON GOLDEN POND stays
top dog in the city. The Swinging Aardvark, humph! I've tasted better ale at
mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From WILLAF's trash dumps?
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
DRAGON'S GUARD, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided
team. Care to know who is the most afraid of you? And who led the way in this mass
act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was GOLDEN GLADIATORS. Ha ha
ha ha! FANGS ARDENTE was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now
was the DM insulted or feared? Heh, heh.
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for WILLAF's
morgue. More variety. We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate
catches up with you sooner that later?
What does the WILLAF arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Just wait 'till next time I show
up here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah! I see the crowds are getting restless, I
must leave now-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Hey, Baabra, Jorja's idea of an off-street, rainy sunshine pond sounds like a thing
of beauty. In our older ages, we appreciate much more than before. Our daughter
does a lot of that "special photo taking," but it is all for her blog. She's half
exactly like her dad, and half exactly unlike her dad! Feel free to check out
"lilyshealthpad.com". -- Midas
Bruar -- You are fast becoming my favorite. Just think where you could have been
without me! -- On Golden Pond
Shadow Dancer -- Ahhhhhhh, silence in the shadows makes for great intrigue. Good
try, but it was my day. -- Silence Is Golden
Jealous Jeans -- I think I may have your number. -- Gold Tooth
Fratsfa Slave -- You must learn to fly high. -- Golden Eagle
I surely hope I made it back from The Mailer alive and better skilled. Hello, all!
-- Golden Delicious
All -- May your days be filled with gold and golden delights. -- Midas of Golden
Gladiators
Golden Eagle -- Oouuch!! One shotted! My butt still hurts! May I use your feathers
to make a seat cushion??? -- Stoga Steel
It seems to be common not to fight a warrior before sending him to a tourney, so I
will follow suit--advantage or not--and not fight Morgar this turn. I do not know
about "timed" or anything else, but I soon will. You see, I broke down and bought a
computer... -- Coyote
Midas -- I did not follow basketball this year, but Kansas is my favorite left in it,
so go Jayhawks! -- Coyote
Jorja -- Seems you have a few warriors ahead in line of me for the throne. Good luck
to them all. The Golden Domers been up there too long and new blood never hurts. --
Coyote
It does if you're the one doing the new bleeding.
Golden Delicious -- I could not let you follow Goldbrick's path to undefeated, could
I?! -- Eleesia
Gold Tooth -- 2 wins = 25 pts. Are you stacked? -- Eleesia
The Khalhums Dwarf? How did this come about? I mean, he's a fine opponent, but...
no challenges? There *are* other fine opponents in this arena, aren't there? -- Cris
Croft, startled and probably talking too much
And continuing on from Cris's situation, I face the Veteran Mercenary. Easy. Well,
now he's easy, a few months ago he wouldn't have been. -- Baabra Lammont
M. Chardinee, eh? I don't mind. I'll bite him as well as a managed opponent. --
Fangs Ardente
Eleesia -- Ah! A managed opponent. Er, hmm, I wouldn't have minded WINNING that,
you know. Not that I'm exactly complaining, good of you to visit me in the Infirmary
and all, but.... Well, maybe I'd better say no more, so as not to end up chewing on
my foot. -- Sardo Grackel
P.S. Though I do take care to keep my feet clean, in case they end up in my mouth.
I have *some* standards, you know.
Stoga Steel -- This is a surprise, and a very pleasant one. -- Allie Barnett
