                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in NORTH 
FORK.  Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  Say 
good-bye to THE PURGE 209, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the 
BIG LAKE GROOVE stable.  A stormcloud is brewing over the SPECTRAL STEEL guildhouse.  
Rumor says any more weeks like this ones 0-0-0 may send the team to the Dark Arena.  
Coming up with a solid 3-0-0 outing, ERRATA! has advanced 5 places in the rankings.  
It looks like the guys(?) at BOOK OF THOMAS had a good week as they went 4-1-0 to put 
them in 9th place.  I guess steroids help!  Hey everybody, watch out for CREEPY 
TOUCH, who flew up 28 points in the rankings after mashing EMERALD CITY like a melon. 
Keep your eye on this guy.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was EMERALD 
CITY, who dropped 20 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with CREEPY 
TOUCH.  It's a proud day for the ERRATA! stable, as their warrior, CLANCY, ascended 
the Duelmaster's throne.  Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this 
stuff?   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the NORTH FORK arena.  Here's 
a song for you:  Who's afraid of the big, bad FAST FOOD?  Big bad FAST FOOD.  Big bad 
FAST FOOD.  NORTH FORK's afraid of the big bad FAST FOOD.  Tra la la la la!  Okay, so 
I may not be funny, but catch LAND OF OZ's act in the arena.  Those acrobats seem to 
be fairly deft at running from FAST FOOD.  Well just about everybody wants a piece of 
SHAWARMA, who was this week's most challenged warrior.  In a touching display by a 
'touched' warrior, JUHR ROCKFIST went after ACE REPORTER, who was higher by 18 
points.  Well, when the dust settled, JUHR ROCKFIST overcame ACE REPORTER.   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  This week 6-10-1 SCOURGE was sent to the Dark Arena.  I 
know a lot of fighters with similar records who might take notice of this.  In the 
'Oops, What Have I Done?' category, THE DARK was mashed by THE CHAMPION, who let THE 
DARK know that killing members of BIG LAKE GROOVE is a no-no.  Well, the dead gal 
MISS GULCH just took LAND OF OZ off hers Christmas card list.  The poor gal's 
bloodfeud just expired with zippo results.  Ask not the elves for counsel, for they 
will say both yes and no.  Silly buggers, eh?   
     Well, there's the manager of the NORTH FORK giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?).  C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some 
tracks.  Hasta la bye-bye.  (Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown 
Spymaster

Somebody must not love me. Is that why I haven't run these past two turns? "Some" 
strats have surely arrived from me by now? -- Oz The All-Confused

Dammm-itttttt! How BIG is THIS BLIZZARD!!! -- Henry Ford

Zippy -- Dear boy, this was supposed to be quick and easy for me! That was anything but! -- Barbarella, with her best innocent look

Sealab Debbie -- I'd say I was drowning in your eyes, but I don't think I spotted them before you dropped me! -- David

Zod -- Well fought! Well fought! Come the revolution, join us! -- Spartacus

Soft Ten -- But I had a 2, a 4, a 6, and both the 8 and 9! Surely I win! I mean the equal more than 10 and that's the point of the game, right?! -- Mad Max

Another turn, another painful round for some of us. But in the good news, I see signs 
of progress! At least, that's what I've put in my missive to the boss. Think he'll buy 
it? How about a little help on 467 and let us pull a 5-0 round?! If I say please? -- 
David for Timely Heroes
