                                      SPY REPORT

     I can't believe the violence in DAL SHANG!  I still haven't told Mom I'm writing 
Spyreports.  She'd have a cow!  Well, here we go...  MVP award for HEADROOM?  
TRILLIUM's proud of it after beating LEAPIN LIZARD and getting 18 points.  Talk about 
yer major upsets!  PURR LI's match with METTLE cost him a loss of 11 points!  Oh, 
wow, like the Duelmaster must be the most popular guy in all DAL SHANG.  He got the 
most challenges.  (But what about proposals?) Was that a tear I saw in IRONIC IRONY's 
eye, as he took over Duelmastership?  And wasn't POPCORN fit to be tied!  I hear the 
top team insists all their warriors get nine hours sleep.  They want photogenic 
fighters for PR photos.   
     I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies.  Really, I just 
wing this stuff.  THAT SMELL was DAL SHANG's most avoided team.  Is there some award 
for that?  Is there some deep dark secret why VELA's been avoiding THAT SMELL so 
much?  Or is it just that they're too scared?   
     What does a fighter fight for?  I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone 
gets killed.  Not after four more fights.  It was kind of sad, seeing old DAZZLE 
stumbling around the arena, before SPRANG finished it off.  Oh well!  That was so 
totally rude when SPRANG wasted DAZZLE.  I think all you warriors in DAL SHANG should 
gang up on TRILLIUM!  Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to hear 
from you?  Write!  (Or have someone write for you.)  
     Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain.  Soak it in cold water, and hand 
wash.  I gotta leave.  DAL SHANG is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much!  
Its been really albendranius!  Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

I couldn't fight Korka the Hairy properly because he was too hairy.  It made me twitch 
just looking at him, and the thought of touching him, agggh! -- Bumblefinger
P.S.  Hey, I have standards!

Leapin Lizard

Ah, standbys.  Sagat of Paidan was NOT too hairy. -- Purr Li

I didn't have a problem with Korka.  I don't know what Bumblefinger was going on 
about. -- Weezer

Herrol Two-Finger wasn't hairy, either. -- Dim Li
