SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
ALJAFIR. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! For
every winner there is a loser. Speaking of losers, lets take a look at A UNIT, who
went down to 4th from 8th. Life is tough. Coming up with a solid 3-0-0 outing, BODY
OF MUSIC has advanced 4 places in the rankings. Hey everybody, watch out for
SCRAMBLE, who flew up 20 points in the rankings after mashing FARON HINES like a
melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on
the sands. FILET O' FLOYD was subdued by JOUST and drops 6 points. Well, if ya
don't shows up at the laundromat, ya can'ts wash yer clothes. PING did not fight
this week so his title was forfeit. It's a proud day for the ALL THINGS FLOYD
stable, as their warrior, T.G.I. FLOYD'S, ascended the Duelmaster's throne. An apple
a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
And who is this LEAD BELLY you ask, with 62 points and a 5-1-0 record. Ooh, the
tales I could tell! CHARLIE TUNA of FISH THANGS had better have a good reason for
challenging down 13 points in a challenge which he won. I thought CHARLIE TUNA
showed great skill and promise when he won victory over GORF. All right, so I slept
through it! Big deal!
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Here's some advice: warriors
with little wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in ALJAFIR have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some
tracks. Hasta la bye-bye. (Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown

PERSONAL ADS
Padre -- What's going on in life right now (I hope!) is a new roof, in between
snowstorms. Plenty of excitement: Will the roofers slip on the snow and ice and
fall off? (Two story house.) Will one of those pieces of corrugated iron catch the
wind and behead a roofer? Will one of them put a foot wrong and fall through the
weak spot? Will they get the new roof on before the ceiling comes down under the
worst leak? Actually, I'm feeling optimistic about everything except the cost. I
*knew* there was a reason I preferred plain shed-style roofs. Four planes and three
dormers! They're going to have their hands full with that, and they'll earn every
inflated penny. -- Jorja
P.S. Although I sometimes think wistfully of just having a big tarp thrown over the
house.
Wow, four-one! Three of those wins were over standbys, but still, not bad. Sort of
a "welcome back" deal. We know it won't last, so we're going to make the most of it,
go out and get totally mokus, you know? -- the Middle Way people
Bundy -- Don't expect five skills from me every day. This is an aberration. --
Gardner Hedge
