Apparently he has organized protests against my establishment. I think it's time to go pay the good archbishop a visit... As I approach the cathedral where the archbishop resides, I hear the whispers and comments of the church staff from the disbelief of my presence at the church. I whip up a devilish smile and a confident stroll and enter the threshold of the cathedral gates. The place is unbelievable. If you don't believe in god when you enter here, the feeling of entering the gates of heaven itself is enough to make you a true believer. Statues of religious icons adorn the walls with huge panes of painted glass in between each of the figures. The ceiling itself is a masterpiece of heaven carved and painted depicting a story of a war amongst angels. After taking in the sheer awe of the church for several minutes, I approach the altar to show my respects and ask for forgiveness. I kneel before the altar, cup the holy water in hand and drink, go through the shape of a cross from head to chest, open my eyes and stand only to see Archbishop Arndt standing over me. "Good Morning, sir," I say as I finish my stance. "Good Day Mr. Sajak, what brings you here?" "I'm here to resolve this issue we seem to have, good sir. Let's go somewhere more private so we can perhaps reach an agreement?" The archbishop nods and turns toward the extensive walk to his private chambers. As we enter his chambers, he makes his way to the decanter and pours us both a goblet of wine and motions for me to sit. I take the wine and quickly kill it in one gulp, slam the vessel down on his desk and say, "This is a very dangerous game you play with me. Here is my only proposal." I calmly pull out my assassin's dagger and place it on the desk in front of the archbishop along with a very plump envelope. "Option A-- I offer professional help for those who can't help themselves and I make very generous donations to your church and cause." I say as I push the envelope closer to his reach. Before Arndt can even consider option A, I have option B at his throat. The archbishop swallows and it causes a trickle of blood to flow down the front of his elegant robes. "If you want some good advice from someone who could play god right now with your life, choose option A and thank your new god you're alive." As I reenter the immaculate grand chamber, I have the overwhelming feeling of faith, faith that the fear of god will make him choose correctly. -Pat Sajak- * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * ---===ANDORIAN REGIONAL NEWS===--- Duelmasters ----------- DM 8 ARKERS (turn 351): IMA SLAYER of YOU PAY I SLAY (Khisanth, mgr.)

They said I was too tall to excel at either golf or duelmastering. They did. But it all shows what a lot of work and practice, drinking lots of water, (only) and a lot of luck will do for one. I want to dedicate this column to the boss, Lenpro, who got me here. So here are some probably unknown facts about "the boss": Has two grandchildren, Max and Clara Plays golf 3 or 4 days a week Is retired Loves yellow as his favorite color Was born an Indiana Hoosier Was captain of his high school football team Can play piano, accordion, and saxophone adequately Enjoys the 4 G';s - golf, gardening, grandkids, and gaming Has a wife (Sharon) and two cats (Beatrice and Irvin) Has been an RSI customer for 25+ years Once, for several years, ran 40+ active arenas. Is educated (BSIE, MBA) Favorite old movies - anything with The Durango Kid Has two married daughters - Jodi and Lily Has lived in IN, NC, WI, KS, MO, MA, SC Spent a lot of business time in China and Mexico Is getting quite old There you have it. Will I be back to reveal more of life's mysteries? Can I sink another 20-footer to retain the title? Will I finally graduate? Stay tuned.... Professor Putt, DMV SPY REPORT I was going on vacation, see? Surf, sun... But what do those bums say? "Hit the road, Debby Tonte. IAYE needs a spyreport." Oh, well. Too bad, WRATHMEN, but ALL JACKED UP was just too good to be stopped. Like, KAIJHEK must be pretty gutsy! He Bloodfeuded the Duelmaster from LENPROS. Does this guy have a death wish or what! And I was just getting used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!) Oh well, welcome KAIJHEK. Aren't WRATHMEN proud. (Oh, my.) I hear the top team insists all their warriors get nine hours sleep. They want photogenic fighters for PR photos. AAARRGH!!! I HATE SPYREPORTING!!! Sorry. I just had to say it. The warriors of PACE'S WILD must be getting lonely. They were the most avoided team. Do you guys know something that I don't? I don't know what LENPROS' been doing. They certainly haven't been accepting many fights from PACE'S WILD, that's fer sher. Like, is HONEYBOY popular, or what? He was challenged the most in all of IAYE! He's got a 4-2-0, is that good? People were asking me did ARCHBISHOP ARNDT REALLY challenge SPECKLE? (all right, maybe they didn't, but it sounded good!) It wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything, but SPECKLE wants me to write about it since she was subdued by ARCHBISHOP ARNDT. Satisfied? Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All IAYE ever talks about is fighting! Me, I'm more laid back. What a bummer! HOUN' DAWG got wasted by LUMBER JAK! But with a 3-7-0, I guess RED DOG GANG aren't too bummed. KAIJHEK bloodfeuded (is that a word?) PROFESSOR PUTT for revenge over some guy's bad fortune. Was it really worth it? What if they had a fight and nobody showed up? I'd be out of a job, that's what!!! I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be a famous Spyreporter? I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really should stop. Its been really albendranius!

No wonder we avoid so much. Kudos to The Jacks. -- Lenpro Pat Sajak -- Nerd? "... that big of a nerd ..."? Yep, that fits. (wink) -- Lenpro Kaijhek -- I am sorry about your growing dislike for politicians. Perhaps you should spend some time working in my campaign; you may change your mind. The pay is mighty low, but the perks are, well, let's just say plentiful. As to your bribery concerning my wife? Well, Mrs. Smith is a young trophy wife herself, and she enjoys the company of young women too, if you get my meaning. And as to my escapade with that young intern, there was nothing wrong with it as she is my niece. (smirk) -- Senator Smith Disgusting! How did he get recruited to my honorable Lenpro team? For goodness sakes alive! -- Lenpro (quite puzzled) Pat Sajak -- You have some very witty warriors there. I envy you. -- Lenpro (quite jealous) Kaijhek -- While I dislike the fact that you beat me, I acknowledge your better skill. I also appreciate that you broadcasted the lifestyle skullduggery of Senator Smith. Our politicians simply must hold up to higher standards. I would like to get my hands on him to try to "save" him. -- Archbishop Arndt Speckle -- That was unwarranted. You are nothing but a lowly dog! -- Senator Smith Leadbelly -- All my practice and the work in the weight room paid off. I was downright lucky, too. -- Major Miller Bo Carter -- Well, I have to say I am glad I defeated you. Are you related to Jimmy Carter? The boss's aging mother's favorite photo hanging on her nursing home wall is the one with her and Jimmy Carter at The White House. Go figure. -- Honorable Hafale (not of the same political party as Jimmy and the boss's Mom) Blind Lemon -- It was a worthy match. I was lucky to sink the winning putt. -- Professor Putt Health. Humility. Honor. Iaye forever. -- Lenpro Jorja -- I think that if you could play by the same set of rules as we all do here in Iaye, it would make things more interesting and fun for us all. I would be willing to petition the rsi staff into letting you play as we do if no one else objects. -- Pat Sajak All -- DOES ANYONE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH JORJA BEING ABLE TO PLAY BY THE SAME RULES AS US?? -- Pat Sajak All -- It seems that my establishment has angered the sensitive views of some. Please, I ask that you drink and play responsibly. And also know, that if you find yourself forming a problem, I have a professional staff that holds classes and 12 step addiction treatment programs. I have your best interests in mind always and am here to offer any help and support that i can. Sincerely yours, -- Pat Sajak Archbishop Arndt -- Thank you, your Grace, for allowing me the opportunity to attempt a bloodfeud. -- Kaighek Panama Jack -- Surf's up, dude! Grab your board and we'll go hit some waves. -- Kaelyn Houn' Dawg -- Maybe you would catch that rabbit if you would stop crying all the time. -- Neor Fey Lumber Jak -- Congrats on the train! Although it makes me shudder to think I might have to face you again. -- Nodohgo Lenpro -- After mailing in strategies last turn, it occurred to me that I was missing something. There was no way you would've been able to avoid two BFs in a row. So I consulted the Red Book (once I was able to locate it, no small task, I assure you!) Sure enough, there it was in black and white: "Only those in the Challenger Champions can bloodfeud the Duelmaster." Ah well. Still would've liked to have seen how my young ripper would have done. -- Kharadmon Aeryn -- Don't worry about the bloodfeud. That'll happen when the cows come home, and we don't HAVE any cows. Or a home for 'em to go to, the mangers all have dogs sleeping in them. -- Jorja Senator Smith -- I have my orders! No politicians or other soliciters on OUR porch. -- Speckle Neor Fey -- Drat. Only to be expected of a Cat, though. -- Houn' Dawg Jr. Kimbrough -- Are we DONE yet? -- Red Rover Silly Volunteer. He has suspicious eyes, shifting all around like that. I didn't like him. -- Old Brown LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS WIGGLY WALK was dealt death by SPYMASTER in a 1 minute Dark Arena fight. KAIJHEK bested PROFESSOR PUTT in a exciting 1 minute Bloodfeud Title duel. ARCHBISHOP ARNDT handily defeated SPECKLE in a 1 minute one-sided Challenge match. GENTLEMAN JACK was bested by KAELYN in a 2 minute Challenge contest.
