SPY REPORT
I can't believe the violence in STORMCROWE! I still haven't told Mom I'm
writing Spyreports. She'd have a cow! Well, here we go... ROAD WARRIORS like
really fought hard to move up to 2nd from 5th. Way to go! One team deserves special
mention 'cause they moved up 2 after going 4-1-0. Keep it up, AMOEBA! MVP award for
SANTA? AMOEBA's proud of him after beating LULU and getting 17 points. Talk about
yer big time losers! LULU got smashed by SANTA, and lost 15 points! Don't you think
the Duelmaster is being unfair? I think HOT LIPS should let FROSTFLARE be Duelmaster
for a while, without fighting about it. I hear the top team insists all their
warriors get nine hours sleep. They want photogenic fighters for PR photos.
I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies. Really, I just
wing this stuff. MORDRED'S MADMEN was the most avoided team. Is a 126-117-6 record
really that scary? I don't know what AMOEBA's been doing. They certainly haven't
been accepting many fights from MORDRED'S MADMEN, that's fer sher. Can AMOEBA's
FRANK SINATRA be more popular than me? He was challenged the most, but is that
really the same?
What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone
gets killed. Not after four more fights. Fight, fight, fight. Is that all you guys
can do?
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it
quits. Remember you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out! Later, Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Frostbite -- Man, sure am glad I wore those goretex gloves. -- B.F.G.
The Bride -- Sure hated to send you back home all bloody and stuff. -- Winston
Donna -- Hope I didn't hurt you too bad. -- Spot
Arenamaster Nhor -- Well of course, you haven't heard my voice. Fogs can't talk!
Trust me when I say you don't want a fog haunting your arena. (Much less a deadly
fog.) -- Death Fog (spelling out words through the air)
Emily Strange -- Did I leave you cold? Cause'n, you have been chilled. -- Like Ice
Irene
Walrus -- Nice mustache, somewhere there's a broom dying of envy. That was a tough
fight and the boss' claiming credit for the rhythms. Like maybe I had a hand in the
victory too...hmmm, boss, maybe? -- Bertha
Raggedy Ann -- I've been outlasted, and me an ever laster, too. I've heard sometimes
it's fatal to be noticed by greatness. S's prob I'm not losing sleep over. -- Aunty
Macassar
Death Fog -- The Fog twists. Alastari, it's a land where...you can say what you
want. Where...you can let your conscience be your guide. And...you can exercise
your personal prudence to rarely practice either. <grin> -- Zoey
Hot Lips -- That feverish pout, how can I resist it? So cherry-red! -- Frostflare
P.S. Maybe you should try a really heavy duty lip balm or chapstick? The whole
thing looks really uncomfortable. And what if they dry out to the point where they
crack?
P.P.S. Thanks for the skills, by the way. They're of more value to me than the win
would have been, at this point. Not a LOT more valuable, but some.
P.P.P.S. And there's always the chance that you might graduate. Many of us are
looking forward to that.
Pyrotechnics -- Ah...the unevenness, not to mention unfairness, of life strikes, eh?
Her lips are hot, your fires are cold. Tough. -- Shard
Lulu -- (with a chilly stare) You are so...overt. But then, orcs have no sense of
restraint, much less elegance, style, restraint. So...vulgar. -- Icelinia
Bertha -- Oh, gods, woman, not the CABBAGES. I'd be glad to discuss, I dunno, kings
or ANYTHING else, but not the cabbages. -- Walrus
P.S. We try to keep that quiet, you see. It isn't the sort of thing we like to TALK
about.
B.F. Goodrich -- Well, no skidding for YOU, I see. Rather disappointing, actually.
I was looking forward to seeing what you could do in a full skid. -- Frostbite

Just a reminder to all you online type people. It is much appreciated if you send
your personals in PLAIN TEXT, rather than HTML or formatted text. HAL, in his
infinite wisdom, doesn't DO formatting, which means having to unsnarl your personal
ads from bunches of extraneous...stuff. So, if your e-mailer has a plain text
option, let it be your friend. -- Ed.
P.S. Sometimes it's the formatted text which makes ads go astray. Not often, but
sometimes.
