                             Notes from the arena champ.

      At least Dig Dug is a genuine opponent, even if he is a little...strange.
What puzzles me, though, is how he managed to lose that fight.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, warriors of MURSKA!  Once again I've been called out of retirement 
for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting.  Some people say I ramble too much, 
I don't say anything relevant.  I repeat myself.  I ramble.  Well THE BEARS moved up 
0, to 2nd.  What's with DINGO DOG?  He actually beat CHILDREN OF LLYR's KAI, and 
walked away with 23 more points from the fight.  Laughs were big at THE BEARS while 
they watched DR. STRANGE clobber BILDIS.  He lost 10 points and got bruised from 
objects thrown from the stands.  DIG DUG was reminded on the sands why FARON is 
Duelmaster.  Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on?  I hear some 
team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.   
     No matter the time or place, men will always duel.  How well I know the feeling 
of being in the most avoided team!  Don't fall out of practive, BUSY, BUSYTOWN!  The 
bums at THE BEARS couldn't face the challenges from BUSY, BUSYTOWN!  No excuse for 
that!  How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, MR. FIXIT!  
Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you.   
     A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing.  Some fighters 
don't accept this.  The best do.  We all knew it had to happen sooner or later.  A 
warrior can't stick around with a 11-22-0, and THE ONE easily took care of MR. FIXIT. 
How long have I been here?  I got people to see, places to go...   
     Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors.  Any plans here?  All 
work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter.  Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.  
Olaffighterwork and no play.  Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and 
good luck.  Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

Dingo Dog -- As in "ring-a ding-o"?  Kinda catchy.  You might be able to make a tune
out of it, if you worked at it. -- Cadal Coontz
P.S.  But ending it with a howl?  I don't think so, sorry.  The howl just isn't you.

Q*bert -- Well, ah, I wasn't AIMING for your face, but it was just so magnetically
awful that I couldn't help but hit you there.  (shudder)  What did you do to it,
anyway?  I can't imagine that you were BORN like that, or your mother would've
drowned you. -- Kai, academically curious

Mr. Fixit -- Nope.  It wasn't broken.  Just needed a little joggle to set it right,
and hey-presto, Leon's your uncle. -- Balin
P.S.  Great skills, though, thanks.

Mordant Deserter?  Pish, and also tush.  And maybe even pshaw.  What a wimp. --
Bildis
P.S.  If this is because of my request, well, next thing to a request, last time,
that I might fight lots of wimpy standbys, thanks.

     I am back in the arena and thinking back to those days in 1984 where I was a
novice and clueless manager.
     Now, 22 years later it looks like I am an ancient and once again clueless
manager.
     I am looking to recover some old warriors.  Since none of them are Aimed Blows,
they are no threat to win anything.  I just want to see how they turned out.

The Couatl 2-17
Madam Butterfly 20-701
Gypsy Moth 20-703
King Crab 21-1
Priestess Python 26-1388

Please contact me at DekeYoung@Comcast.net if you know about any of these ancient
warriors, or just want to bs about the old, old, old times.

It is obvious that the Dark Knights wish to be shown the light.  Allow me to step
forward and blind them with truth.  YOU ARE WORTHLESS!!!  The Dark Knights are so
afraid of the light that they hide behind their black armor and empty threats.  It is
too bad they are unwilling to actually FIGHT us!  I guess our natural light is too
bright for you all to face!  Fear us, for we are here! -- Gemini Goldphoenix,
Overlord of the Avengers of Light!
