SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last
week's fights. Hey everybody, watch out for DRIVEN 4 FROG, who flew up 21 points in
the rankings after mashing HELENA JONES like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya
know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. HELENA JONES was overcame
by DRIVEN 4 FROG and drops 12 points. Try as hard as the THEM stable might, they
were unable to find their warrior (and ex-Duelmaster) NIGHT CRAWLER before this
week's fights. In front of all the crowds, SERGEANT 1 took the Duelmaster's crown
for his own. I give the bum two weeks. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an
onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.
Here is other news that is of note. Did you hear that MIDDLE WAY 20 was most
avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal hygiene of MIDDLE WAY 20's
warriors, I'm not surprised! For those of you who like math, try this one: MIDDLE
WAY 20 + Weapons That go Boom = GRIZZLED VETERANS + Avoid City. And who is this
DENNA FEYL you ask, with 85 points and a 19-28-0 record. Ooh, the tales I could
tell! Can any one out there say 'weasel'? Oh well, just saying SERGEANT 1 will do.
He challenged 30 points down to trash DENNA FEYL. Definition of petty: SERGEANT 1
put to death DENNA FEYL, a mismatch of 30 points. Was it guts or an overtaxed mental
capacity that had SWYTAI challenge up 30 points in the rankings to take on NICHOLAS?
To the crowd's chants of 'Bo-zo bo-zo bo-zo', NICHOLAS was taken out by the
lower-ranked SWYTAI. (Maybe it's time to think Dark Arena?).
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). This week 13-8-2 PRIVATE 4 was sent to the
Dark Arena. I know a lot of fighters with similar records who might take notice of
this. PRIVATE 4 says to his dog--'Who should I fight this week?'. Dog says 'TABAR
THE KNIFE'. So the guy dies. Moral? Put lying dogs to sleep. The audience likes
blood and there was plenty of it covering DENNA FEYL as she was driven to an early
grave by SERGEANT 1 of the MEDAL OF HONOR A11. Carrion Bird Heaven: DENNA FEYL was
killed by SERGEANT 1 (The true definition of 'Street Pizza'). Ask not the elves for
counsel, for they will say both yes and no. Silly buggers, eh?
Well, there's the manager of the ROCANIS 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. See ya next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the MEDAL OF HONOR to
PRIVATE FRANKLIN E. SIGLER, UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS RESERVE for service as set
forth in the following CITATION:
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond
the call of duty while serving with the Second Battalion, Twenty-sixth Marines, Fifth
Marine Division, in action against enemy Japanese forces during the seizure of Iwo
Jima in the Volcano Islands on 14 March 1945. Voluntarily taking command of his
rifle squad when the leader became a casualty, Private Sigler fearlessly led a bold
charge against an enemy gun installation which had held up the advance of his company
for several days and, reaching the position in advance of the others, assailed the
emplacement with hand grenades and personally annihilated the entire crew. As
additional Japanese troops opened fire from concealed tunnels and caves above, he
quickly scaled the rocks leading to the attacking guns, surprised the enemy with a
furious one-man assault and, although severely wounded in the encounter, deliberately
crawled back to his squad position where he steadfastly refused evacuation,
persistently directing heavy machine-gun and rocket barrages on the Japanese cave
entrances. Undaunted by the merciless rain of hostile fire during the intensified
action, he gallantly disregarded his own painful wounds to aid casualties, carrying
three wounded squad members to safety behind the lines and returning to continue the
battle with renewed determination until ordered to retire for medical treatment.
Stouthearted and indomitable in the face of extreme peril, Private Sigler, by his
alert initiative, unfaltering leadership and daring tactics in a critical situation,
effected the release of his besieged company from enemy fire and contributed
essentially to its further advance against a savagely fighting enemy. His superb
valor, resolute fortitude and heroic spirit of self-sacrifice throughout reflect the
highest credit upon Private Sigler and the United States Naval Service.
And we all salute him for it, as well as others unsung.
Oh-fer. We could blame it on the lack of standbys, but OTHER gladiators can win
without fighting standbys. They defeated US, after all. The whole thing is
depressing, plus, it's cloudy and might rain. I don't want to talk about this stuff
today. -- Ferria Hough
P.S. But if someone starts another subject, we WILL talk about it.
