SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in DAL
SHANG. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! Hey
everybody, watch out for DOOMED DUCK, who flew up 9 points in the rankings after
mashing MELOST THE GRAY like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And falling like a
basher in the top ten was MELOST THE GRAY, who dropped 6 points after a disappointing
(to say the least) bout with DOOMED DUCK. Well here's a duelmaster that doesn't sit
back and say 'Challenge me'! ROPE MAN made a challenge against MERRO DOSH this week.
Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was SAND DANCERS'
MERRO DOSH, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by ROPE MAN. Advice to
bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd!
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the DAL SHANG 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?). Ask not the elves for counsel, for they
will say both yes and no. Silly buggers, eh?
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks. Its been
real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Rope Man -- Amazing, I didn't know a rope could DO things like that. Thanks for
sparing me having to find some inadequate words for the column. -- Merro Dosh
P.S. I feel a little like a yoyo here. Duelmaster and not, back and forth. Does
that make me the "standby" duelmaster?
Doomed Duck -- Not doomed enough. -- Melost the Gray
P.S. But I'm working on it.
Duck Cutlets -- That's a joke, isn't it? -- Pink Elephant, still hung over and glad
of it because nothing else feels as bad
Flightless Duck -- I like to think of you TRAPPED here with winter banging on the
door. Ha! -- Sorrelishe
Ah, standbys. Great guys, I'd buy 'em all beers but they drink too much as it is. --
