                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in 
TALCAMA.  Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  Say 
good-bye to THE BIKE SHOP, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the 
WOMB OF HORRORS stable.  UNTOUCHABLES is no joke as it posted a 3-1-0 week advancing 
from 6th place to 5th place.  Hey everybody, watch out for TIRE IRON, who flew up 13 
points in the rankings after mashing COSMIC DIAMOND like a melon.  Keep your eye on 
this beast.  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  PARIAH was 
subdued by CONVICTED ASSASSIN and drops 21 points.  THE SELKIE got through to the 
Duelmaster this turn.  No doubt she was more than anxious to kick BEAST OF THE EAST's 
tail out of the throne!  In front of all the crowds, THE SELKIE took the Duelmaster's 
crown for hers own.  I give the bum two weeks.  An apple a day keeps the doctor away, 
but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the TALCAMA arena.  And hey, 
kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid MAD SCIENTISTS, please raise you hand.  Wow.  
Does TALCAMA really have that many liars?  And you guys like to boo me?  Well, 
unsling your rasberries, cause WOMB OF HORRORS beats feet every time MAD SCIENTISTS 
smiles at them.  Try farming, eh?  Well just about everybody wants a piece of 
DENSITY, who was this week's most challenged warrior.   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  Remember:  alliances are great, 
but try and take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.   
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in TALCAMA have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some 
tracks.  Its been fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos).  Now that I've got you 
worked up for Snide Clemens, I'll be leaving-- The Unknown Spymaster
