                             Notes from the arena champ.

     First things first, and I'm sure 4-H had better work on that jealousy, because
it isn't appropriate for him.  Not a positive attitude at all.  Now, me, I can be
jealous and nobody will look sideways at me, because I'm just a guy.
     Second, you surely don't think I was "viciously" attacking you?  I know my style
LOOKS that way sometimes, but it's all stereotyping, really.  I'm a nice guy, friend
to kittens, confidant of dogs.  Don't be led astray by my red hair.  How can hair
color affect my civilization co-efficient?  (Ask Math about the co-efficient.)
     Third, I have a winning record!  For this little while, I am on top of the
slippery heap, and I want us to PARTY!  Funny hats, bright-colored kool-aid, wild
games of scrabble!  Let's go, Go, GO!

                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
SNOWBOUND brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  BASH BROS HOCKEY turned their 
2-1-0 turn into a 3rd 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 SHOBART 
TEEGUE win a fight and gain 24 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, SHOBART TEEGUE beat 
QUALITY and QUALITY lost 17 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  4-H challenged 
SNOWBOUND's Duelmaster for a shot at the throne.  And it's out with the old, in with 
the new, as 4-H takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster.  
Heh, heh.  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, SNOWBOUND?   
     My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start 
talking.' I loved that woman.  SCISSOR ME TIMBER, I suppose you'll be glad to know 
you were this turn's most avoided team.  Care to know who is the most afraid of you?  
And it looks like LIFE IMPACTS avoided them the most this turn.  What a pack of would 
be losers, if you ask me.  Hmph.  Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, JENNA KUUL was this 
turn's most challenged warrior.  Watch that ego swell, sports fans.   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for SNOWBOUND's 
morgue.  More variety.  Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is 
developing these kinds of weapons?   
     There's got to be a better place in SNOWBOUND to get a drink than The Victory 
Tavern!  Any suggestions?  Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you 
have too.  Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather.  I see the crowds are getting 
restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens
