                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Thank you, Midas.  At least SOMEONE appreciates me.
     Jorja said that if I could hold the title for another turn, I could do a REAL
column, not just The Personal.  First, I want to clarify the name.  People go around
making jokes about "Hori Bull."  That's just a nickname derived from my REAL name,
which is Horemheb.  Yep, I'm Egyptian, and not just any Egyptian, either.  You see
this beard I have?  It's a pharoah's beard.  I thought of being Mesopotamian, but...
nah, the full beard might be easier than shaving and braiding for this pharoah's
beard, but it gets itchy.  Besides, I like being a god-king.  Better than just one or
the other, you know?  Of course, I have to worry about assassination, but get real.
I fight in the arena.  If I'm going to die, it'll happen, but at least I get to
defend myself instead of relying on a bunch of guards who might be ambitious enough
to take bribes.  I'd stand behind Golden Flash, but he's such a shorty, it would do
no good.
     If I'm still here next time, I'll tell you more.

Hori Bull

                                      SPY REPORT

     I was going on vacation, see?  Surf, sun...  But what do those bums say?  "Hit 
the road, Debby Tonte.  WILLAF needs a spyreport."  Oh, well.  Too bad, GOLDEN 
GLADIATORS, but BLOOD ON THE TRACKS was just too good to be stopped.  BATTLE FROGS 
11-13 like really fought hard to move up to 4th from 7th.  Way to go!  What was the 
name of that team who got 3-1-0 this turn for a total 44-38-2 you ask?  (Sure)  BLOOD 
ON THE TRACKS' their name, and fighting's their game!  MVP award for GINA 
LOLLOBRIGIDA?  CHUCKS' PINUPS' proud of her after beating MATTHILDA and getting 12 
points.  Talk about yer big time losers!  MATTHILDA got smashed by GINA LOLLOBRIGIDA, 
and lost 10 points!  This Duelmaster is like something else!  HORI BULL stopped THE 
HIEROPHANT dead in his tracks!  Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his 
teammates?  Don't ask me!   
     So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway?  It can't be for these 
really neat Spyreports can it?  BLOOD ON THE TRACKS was the most avoided team.  Is a 
44-38-2 record really that scary?  Is there some deep dark secret why PANDORA'S 
CARDS' been avoiding BLOOD ON THE TRACKS so much?  Or is it just that they're too 
scared?  Like, is JANE MANSFIELD popular, or what?  She was challenged the most in 
all of WILLAF!  She's got a 0-4-0, is that good?   
     What does a fighter fight for?  I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone 
gets killed.  Not after four more fights.  Fight, fight, fight.  Is that all you guys 
can do?   
     Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain.  Soak it in cold water, and hand 
wash.  I gotta leave.  WILLAF is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much!  Its 
been really albendranius!  Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

Hori Bull -- Duelmaster.  Kudos. -- Midas (jealous)

Adda -- I talked you out of that one, didn't I? -- Golden Tongue

Hori Bull -- I guess you have just become way better than me.  You have gained in
hori and I have lost my flash. -- Golden Flash

Hazel Nutte -- I thought I could overcome your experience, but perhaps I am just a
flash in the pan? -- Golden Gloves

Jane Mansfield -- Hubba, hubba.  It was such a pleasure to roll around in the sands
with you.  It was like an exotic day at the beach for me.  (wink) -- AU

Health.  Humility.  Honor.  Gold. -- Midas

Four-one, this time, and Whip Sawyer, who can get really annoying around the
guildhouse, lost.  Ha.  The Hierophant set him doing penance, and a good thing that
was.  Not that I think it'll help much, Sawyer is SOOO stubborn, it's amazing he can
contain it all in one body. -- Hori Bull, gloating again

Golden Gloves -- You can't crack a nut while wearing gloves. -- Hazel Nutte

Finn the Gray-bearded, Veteran Mercenary -- If I ever go to be a mercenary, I'll take
you for an example (of the bad kind) and make sure I've got a decent pension plan. --
Black Indekker

The Hierophant -- Authority figures intimidate me. -- Whip Sawyer

Geroge Bruk, Captured Orc and Political Theorist -- What?  I don't understand a word
you're saying. -- Sofa'Yam
