                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
TROCAR brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Tsk, tsk, HAPPY HUNTING beat ZOLOR 
and ZOLOR lost 4 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  DISSOLVABLE DIAPER challenged 
LARKIN SAND for TROCAR's Title this turn, and guess what happened?  And if variety is 
the spice of life, TROCAR may be getting bland, as DISSOLVABLE DIAPER stays top dog 
in the city.  Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some 
of these guys win their fights?  Skill?  Ha!   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.  
TROCAR, I am losing what little hope I had in you.  TREES the most avoided team?  
What insult will suffice, I cannot say.  And who led the way in this mass act of 
cowardice?  Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It was PLANET 9.  Ha ha ha ha!  Ooh, I'm 
frightfully impressed, ELM was this turn's most challenged warrior.  Watch that ego 
swell, sports fans.  I guess I can give a little credit to DAUGHTER'S BOYFRIEND of 
USELESS TOOLS for challenging up by 19 to KORILL SAI.  DAUGHTER'S BOYFRIEND won to 
get 80 points of recognition.   
     Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and 
gone, and get to see if their team cared.  We're all going to die in the end, so why 
worry if the fate catches up with you sooner that later?   
     There's got to be a better place in TROCAR to get a drink than The Warty Toad!  
Any suggestions?  Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so nice!  So 
nyaaah!  Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this 
winter-- Snide Clemens

For the Cincy FtF, Mannequin/Crip are organizing a visit to the Great American Ball 
Park on the Friday night (16 Jul, 7:10 start time) to watch the Reds/Brewers game.  If 
interested, please contact Crip through gwerner - @ - twcny dot rr dot com.  Because 
of Covid, tickets are being sold in specific pods, so if 8 people want to go, we may 
have to sit in two different groups.  Please respond by 1 May if interested so we can 
pre-purchase the tickets. -- Crip & Mannequin
