DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Rubber Duckie you're the one
You make bath time lots of fun
Rubber Duckie I'm awfully fond of you
Rubber Duckie joy of joys
When I squeeze you, you make noise
Rubber Duckie you're my very best friend it's true
I find a little fellow who's cute and yellow and chubby
Rub a dub dubby
Rubber Duckie you're so fine and I'm lucky that you're mine
Rubber Duckie I'd like a whole pond of you
Rubber Duckie I'm awfully fond of you

In Honour of the Duelmaster of Snowbound
SPY REPORT
Much has changed in SNOWBOUND since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. What's with C.H.S.? It
actually beat DRUID'S GROVE's EVALON ELKHORN, and walked away with 18 more points
from the fight. Major screwup at DREAMS OF KADATH. DYLATH-LEEN lost 14 points to
INGLEMORT JULS. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe DYLATH-LEEN will provide more
easy wins... Apparently SNOWBOUND isn't filled with as many gutless wonders as I
thought. The Dreaded Duelmaster got 2 challenges this turn! Try as it might, CANTEX
wasn't good enough at persuading RUBBER DUCKIE to step down from the Duelmaster's
throne... Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... The most avoided team
was LIFE IMPACTS. Management must be dealin', as the boys at OPEN SESAME ain't
reelin'! LIFE IMPACTS' mad!
Warriors of SNOWBOUND unite. You have only your games to lose! Is it my
imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day? To die so young, so
gloriously!
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. 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. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now. Practice,
practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Congrats to DM Rubber Duckie who put the melt to me. -- Extrusion
Muh life impacts be doin' good, huh? Yep. -- Smitty
Dylath-Leen -- I just loved sniffing fumes with you. I always liked the ones who
could go a long, long time. -- Mrs Vaughn
Gobert -- It is amazing how much one can accomplish with a nice two-hand set shot. --
Hoops
Crip -- Me boy, yuh done real good with Duckie. Yep. -- Smitty
Hoops -- That's about what I said when I saw who I would be facing. Ouch. -- Gobert
Hinny
C.H.S. -- Comes from High Snow. Brrr! -- Petra Quord
Domjon -- You could've taught me more skills. -- Inglemort Juls
Night Guant -- But you don't fight at night? Why is that? -- Kirla Lorvin
Almost Human -- So? Why does this make you any different from most gladiators? --
Cass Dolan
P.S. At least in the eyes of those who don't fight on the sands.
Mrs. Vaugh -- You just haven't met the right guys. -- Kirla
Hoops -- But...I heard you humming, and you sure do bug me. -- Inglemort Juls
31 May 2008
Any and all who live in the 805 area, I would like for you to call me so we can get
together for BBQ's, softball games, and so on. It has been a while since the last
get together (several years). It was a blast and I am sure the next one will be
also. We just have to do it. All alliances are welcome. Just because my warriors
leave your warrior beaten and bloody in defeat does not mean we can't have a beer or
five together. I'll even buy the first round. So call 805-588-3419 and ask for Dave
a.k.a. Misfit, former member of the Green and Purple Polka Dot Alliance (GAPPDA).
