                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, RODEKI?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Later days, COLOR ME SUAVE, since I 
CAN'T BRUSH YOU took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  I CAN'T 
BRUSH YOU turned their 3-2-1 turn into a 1st place rank in the listings this turn.  
Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists.  Of course, we're all terribly 
impressed to see STICKY FINGERS win a fight and gain 22 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, 
STICKY FINGERS beat COLDFISHFINGER and COLDFISHFINGER lost 18 points.  You're 
breakin' my heart.  And if variety is the spice of life, RODEKI may be getting bland, 
as BIG DISAPPOINTMENT stays top dog in the city.  I'm not in a very good mood today, 
but why am I telling you this?  You want to know what's new, don't you, RODEKI?   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for RODEKI's 
morgue.  More variety.  We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate 
catches up with you sooner that later?   
     I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for 
an epee.  Forgive me for writing with a dagger.  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

P.S.  Don't DO that.

You're jealous, I can tell. -- Rockhog

Hairbrush -- What the heck? -- Gastaigne
