                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last 
week's fights.  Say good-bye to BOOK OF THOMAS, as they are pushed from the coveted 
top team spot by the TREES stable.  Coming up with a solid 5-0-0 outing, TREES has 
advanced 4 places in the rankings.  Hey everybody, watch out for LARKIN SAND, who 
flew up 17 points in the rankings after mashing FALLEN TOWEL RACK like a melon.  Keep 
your eye on this gal.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was DILIAN HALLIE, 
who dropped 5 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with BATHTUB RING. 
Well, if ya don't shows up at the laundromat, ya can'ts wash yer clothes.  CHINA 
WHITE did not fight this week so his title was forfeit.  It's a proud day for the 
TREES stable, as their warrior, OAK, ascended the Duelmaster's throne.  4 out of 5 
gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that location.   
     But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!  
Here's a song for you:  Who's afraid of the big, bad BOOK OF  THOMAS?  Big bad BOOK 
OF THOMAS.  Big bad BOOK OF THOMAS.  TROCAR's afraid of the big bad BOOK OF THOMAS.  
Tra la la la la!  Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch BASH BROS BATHROOM's act in 
the arena.  Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from BOOK OF THOMAS.   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  Remember:  alliances are great, but try and 
take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.   
     I think I had better cut this one short.  It's been nice chatting to those of 
you whom I have not offended yet.  Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian, 
but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  And remember, you can pick your 
friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've heard that one already!-- The 
Unknown Spymaster
