                                      SPY REPORT

     So why do I have this bag over my head?  Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and 
I'm going to give you a spy report!.  Hey everybody, watch out for AARGH, who flew up 
13 points in the rankings after mashing POLITE BEGGAR like a melon.  Keep your eye on 
this beast.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was MR RIGHT HANDED, who 
dropped 4 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with NEVER.  Well, if 
ya don't shows up at the laundromat, ya can'ts wash yer clothes.  NOT A CHANCE did 
not fight this week so its title was forfeit.  It's a proud day for the EXCLAMATION! 
stable, as their warrior, YAY, ascended the Duelmaster's throne.  Advice to 
bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd!   
     Here is other news that is of note.  And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't 
avoid TAXES, please raise you hand.  Wow.  Does AMEN-TEI really have that many liars? 
For those of you who like math, try this one:  TAXES + Weapons That go Boom = 
EXCLAMATION! + Avoid City.  Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, MR RIGHT 
HANDED would be president.  Although it may be a contest he doesn't want to win.   
     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.   
     Well, there's the manager of the AMEN-TEI 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.  Its been real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The
