DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Are we out of the pandemic? I'd say no -- I have Covid again and Trump is gearing up
for another run at being president. Sorry, I should have eased into that, not hit you
with it in the first few sentences. Even worse, my pet rabbit and my milk frother
died, both in the same week! I think I mentioned her before (the rabbit, not the milk
frother), she was super old and breathed in a raspy sort of way so it wasn't
unexpected but still, it wasn't good and the kids cried (due to the rabbit, not the
milk frother) and I had to do the ol' "dig a hole in the backyard" thing.
On to lighter topics -- who would have guessed that me bloodfeuding a 3-0-1 guy would
catapult me onto the throne? Me, that's who! Our Spymaster hinted that I could do it
a few more times but I won't, I promise. No, my future is either with Biff or Tumble
Belly. I've fought Biff 3 times in the past, winning two of them, and fought Tumble
Belly twice, losing both of them. I'm not a smart man but I'm leaning towards Biff.
But who knows what will happen -- maybe Biff won't fight and Tumble Belly takes a well
deserved seat on the throne!
We all went to Phoenix to cheer on Do It Tomorrow as he fought in this thing called a
"tournament" but because it was all so big, new, and flashy he did pretty poorly in it
-- small town kid crashes and burns in the big city. It was probably because I told
him that I got the top spot here in Seam, something he never did, just as he started
his first fight. It kinda rattled him and he dropped hard and fast. Other than that
we all had fun, drinking, playing pinball, and getting served spicy Indian food by
robots that sound like Elmo. I should have been looking up the Local Girls -- I like
the new names! Now, I don't know if any of you guys grew up in the Phoenix area but
there was a local kid's show called The Wallace and Ladmo Show and it shaped my
childhood. I grew up outside of Phoenix but I still got the TV stations from there
and I always wanted a Ladmo Bag filled with goodies. Anyway, I bring this up in hopes
that Aunt Maud will be visiting our arena in the future! Maybe being the Duelmaster
is as good as getting a Ladmo Bag but really, we all know it isn't. Sigh...
-- What's Streaming
SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report. Sit
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. Coming up with
a solid 3-2-1 outing, AKAKIA has advanced 4 places in the rankings. Advancing in the
rankings was NO TOURNAMENT BLUES who went from last turn's 86-79-7, to this week's
record of 90-80-7. Hey everybody, watch out for SALLY CAT, who flew up 22 points in
the rankings after mashing EVOLETT like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. Ya
know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. BULLY BOBCAT was defeated
by COHERENCE and drops 16 points. The most challenged warrior this week was WHAT'S
STREAMING. If this keeps up, our Duelmaster's going to need more avoids! Well
here's a duelmaster that doesn't sit back and say 'Challenge me'! WHAT'S STREAMING
made a challenge against BIFF this week. It's a proud day for the AKAKIA stable, as
their warrior, BIFF, 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!
Did you hear that NO TOURNAMENT BLUES was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing
the personal hygiene of NO TOURNAMENT BLUES' warriors, I'm not surprised! And you
guys like to boo me? Well, unsling your rasberries, cause RUBBER VS GLUE beats feet
every time NO TOURNAMENT BLUES smiles at them. Try farming, eh? In a touching
display by a 'touched' warrior, GREG went after DAKIA WILDROSE, who was higher by 25
points. Well, when the dust settled, GREG overcame DAKIA WILDROSE.
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). In the 'Oops, What Have I Done?' category,
BOOGERHEAD was mashed by ORA ALEXANDER, who let BOOGERHEAD know that killing members
of NO TOURNAMENT BLUES is a no-no. Knowing when to use the right tactics at the
proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.
Well, there's the manager of the SEAM giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Well, there goes another Spy Report.
Good luck in next week's fights. 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
