     It is the season to be thankful.  Well I'm thankful for this thankless job!  I 
really am.  I get to point out all of the Smithy family dysfunction. I get to go to 
see the fights for free!  And my words are immortalized in the history of Chimlevtal's 
arena!
     What can the rest of you be thankful for?  Here are some suggestions:

AFTER MIDNIGHT: 5 awards, including the throne!  A 7-0 warrior.

USEFUL WEAPONS: Even with an 0-3, their lock on the chartered team award is as strong 
as it ever has been.

OTTOBAHN: 2 brand new recruits to mold and make into fine warriors.

NUMBERS GAME: The attention of the Smithy's.  Currently their stable looks mighty fine 
and easily able to turn that attention into wins.

SHADOWHOLD: The chartered team with the best kill % in the arena. A 5-0 warrior with a 
TV challenge.

AVENGERS: The most feared (avoided) team this turn, the most challenged warrior 
(SPECTRUM), and a brand new recruit.

MIDDLE WAY 7: Jorja writes everyone's favorite ads and has the best dinosaur warriors 
to teach skills.  Everyone misses her warriors when they aren't around!

LEGIONS OF FATE: It has been a rough start, but I am confident that the future will be 
brighter.  Certainly I would wish on them a year of huge success.  (granted I'm 
biased, every team that leaves this arena makes my own position less important.  But I 
truly do want great participation in Chimlevtal and LEGIONS OF FATE is part of that 
today!)  Also a new recruit.

Happy Thanksgiving! (Even the Smithy's.)

Rondor Sendal -- Nice fight.  Your friend is a real screamer. -- First Date

The Rock -- Hey Rock, do you like...  Pie? -- Witching Hour

All -- Useful Weapons management thinks that their 3-0 turns are impressive.  Hardly.  
After Midnight has had 5-0 turns and yet we can't recall Useful Weapons ever doing 
that.  Perhaps this feat is beyond the ability of the Smoothies, er Smithies. -- After 
Midnight

Belinda -- Much more than than our humble servant?  What exactly are you trying to 
say?  Are you like a spy reporter with benefits?  We always thought you were a woman 
of loose morals, but geez... Have some respect for yourself! -- After Midnight

Ottobahn -- Welcome back! -- After Midnight

Lasso -- You sure can take a shot...or two...or three!  But who is counting?  Except 
us of course.  We are Numbers Game after all...kind of our thing. -- 1-800-VICTORY

Fourth Shot -- 1-800-EXCUSES! You know where to find me if you want another taste. --

Did you SEE all of those critical attacks against Lasso this last turn?  Please vacate 
the Leader position... -- 1-800-VICTORY

P.S. No DM Column? Shame.
