                             Notes from the arena champ.

     I don't know how it was that I was able to break up that funnel cloud--  Well,
okay, it was my greater experience, unless he has tourney fights, but still.  It must
be some kind of sympathetic magic.  The cloud spins thusly, I leap into the wind and
spin anti-thusly, and hey-presto!  The funnel fades away.  I like it.

                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
KATI-TEI brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Of course, we're all terribly 
impressed to see NATION win a fight and gain 18 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, THE HAND 
OF DOG beat WAY OF THE WICKED and WAY OF THE WICKED lost 9 points.  You're breakin' 
my heart.  And if variety is the spice of life, KATI-TEI may be getting bland, as 
SAMARA stays top dog in the city.  The Warty Toad, humph!  I've tasted better ale at 
mortuaries.  Where do they get this stuff?  From KATI-TEI's trash dumps?   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.  
KATI-TEI, I am losing what little hope I had in you.  WANDERERS the most avoided 
team?  What insult will suffice, I cannot say.  And who led the way in this mass act 
of cowardice?  Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It was THE PLAGUE.  Ha ha ha ha!  
ENGLISH BULLDOG was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster.  Now was the 
DM insulted or feared?  Heh, heh.  I notice TRIPLE DAWG DARE challenging down 17 
points to fight GAY DECEIVER, DA DOG POWNDAZ doubtless has some rotten excuse for 
such an insult to honor.  And golly gee, TRIPLE DAWG DARE bested GAY DECEIVER.  
Aren't we all surprised and impressed?  Looks like time for laurels or hemlock, STRAY 
CAT was challenged by DAWG TAGS, who was ranked 27 points below him.  And sure, DAWG 
TAGS lost alright, but gained 1 recognition for his pains.  And pains they may indeed 
be!   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for KATI-TEI's 
morgue.  More variety.  Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is 
developing these kinds of weapons?   
     What does the KATI-TEI arena have in common with the inns?  It's just as 
comfortable to sleep in either place.  Ha ha ha ha!  Just wait 'till next time I show 
up here, I won't be so nice!  So nyaaah!  Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll 
need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

                        WINTER FACE-TO-FACE IN SUNNY ARIZONA!

Our next winter FTF will be held in Tempe, Arizona, January 13-15, 2012.  It will be 
held at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Tempe, Arizona (480-897-7444), the same hotel as 
last year by popular request.  Room rates are $134.00 per night, 1-2 occupancy, which 
includes full cooked breakfast, complimentary manager's reception, free airport 
shuttle, free parking and free high speed internet.  There's a fitness center, 
jacuzzi, and pool.  The rooms are blocked--please make your reservation by December 15 
before the block is released!  (This is prime season for Phoenix, and people have been
unable to book rooms because they waited too long.)  Look for the tournament info 
sheet and minioverviews some time in December.  We hope you're all looking forward to 
it and that we will see you there!
