Once again I've been called out of retirement for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. Biff! Pow! KATI-TEI watched with glee as OLD SCHOOL got knocked off top spot by WANDERERS! Up 'n down. Up 'n down. Rankings always change. Up 'n down. I think I'm gonna be... Well, LOOD FOOD's 5th moved them up to 3-1-0 place. What's with MAD ONE? He actually beat GLAD TO MEAT YOU's CHICKEN TIGHT JEANS, and walked away with 19 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at LOOD FOOD while they watched EGGS OVERLY EASY clobber RUBIX CUBESTEAK. She lost 16 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. KATI-TEI, set your sights on M. CHARDINEE. He'll be happy to entertain all requests after defeating PORTERHOUSE ARREST. JEHU looked pretty Duelmasterlike as he took KATI-TEI's top spot with 90 points. Now, what will PORTERHOUSE ARREST do? Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on? I hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners. If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. KATI-TEI thinks OLD SCHOOL and their 27-43-1 is too much! If at first you don't succeed, give up... In my day, no team with a 27-43-1 would scare me off! What's the problem, LOOD FOOD? What do people see in SATURN? His 7-17-0? WANDERERS ain't talkin', but he's got 38 points. I hate going to the effort of writing about the kind of fights that SPORK gets in. It fights people like PARNIAN, 10 points below. I thought SPORK showed great skill and promise when it subdued PARNIAN. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters to walk away, or not? 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? Are you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm writing it before you read it. Oh, well. Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and good luck.

PERSONAL ADS Our fights have gone astray, so here are a mere few words based on the on-line newsletter. -- Leeta Wanderers Rubix Cubesteak -- Ah...I do like a good bar-be-cube. Tasty, very tasty. (burp) I guess I ate a little too fast for politeness, but I was really hungry, and that sauce...superb. -- Jehu Chicken Tight Jeans -- Isn't it amazing how fast you can get out of those when a few ice cubes are applied to the proper spots? -- Bethanne Grace The Veal Deal -- (queasy look) I don't think that was properly cooked. Or maybe it was over-done. But it definitely doesn't sit well with me. -- Saturn Spocka the Hutt -- You...you flattened me! The flying dust came off my wings, and I'll have to get them completely re-done. And...the wing salon can't give me an appointment for days and DAYS! Whatever shall I do? -- Flutterlee Cuddly Kahlua -- Tha' wash almosh' nishe. Ver' cuddly an' shtuff. -- Parnian 24 August 2004 Invitation to Newbie Managers by Hammer As a Captain of the Vendetta Cartel, Hammer has recently dissolved the Vendetta Cartel Crimson Ascension Family.
