                                      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!  Say 
good-bye to THAT SMELL, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the 
BLACK LIGHTNING stable.  KILLER TUNES is no joke as it posted a 4-1-0 week advancing 
from 4th place to 2nd place.  Hey everybody, watch out for PORK SODA, who flew up 14 
points in the rankings after mashing BBQ like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  
Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  DOINK was overcame by 
MANHATTAN JOE and drops 11 points.  Try as hard as the THAT SMELL stable might, they 
were unable to find their warrior (and ex-Duelmaster) FEBREZE before this week's 
fights.  In front of all the crowds, SOBER took the Duelmaster's crown for his own.  
I give the bum two weeks.  4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try 
and avoid aiming at that location.   
     But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!  
Here's a song for you:  Who's afraid of the big, bad KILLER  TUNES?  Big bad KILLER 
TUNES.  Big bad KILLER TUNES.  DAL SHANG's afraid of the big bad KILLER TUNES.  Tra 
la la la la!  Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch BLACK LIGHTNING's act in the 
arena.  Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from KILLER TUNES.   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  In the 'Oops, What Have I Done?' category, 
DOINK was mashed by MANHATTAN JOE, who let DOINK know that killing members of SAND 
DANCERS is a no-no.  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.  Well, there goes another Spy Report.  Good luck in 
next week's fights.  And remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick 
your--(loud boos), oh, you've heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster

Creampuff -- Not sure you are well named, at least in the classic fighter sense. You 
took some shots before surrendering. Now if you're named for the pastry, I do love me 
some creampuffs. lol -- Slo-Burn

Noodles -- Ok, so the head shots and kill shot were totally unintentional. I was just 
so happy to finally get to fight, I went a bit over board swinging my weapon all over 
the place. Who knew I'd actually hit anything. My sympathies to your teammates. -- 
Doink

Pretty nice starting our first turn going 5-0-1, altho I suspect the only way to go 
now, is down. We'll try not to let that happen. Til next turn. -- Black Lightning

Febreze -- Not a smell I care for. -- Mighty Mite

Kiara -- Lose the beard.  It doesn't suit you. -- Old Classico

Stardog Champion -- Go hang out with the other stardogs, unless they're too jealous of 
you to be civil. -- Manhattan Joe

Doink -- Offering me your hand after I fell lifeless to the sands was a cheap shot. -- 
the late Noodles

Slo-Burn -- Looks like the story of my life.  So long as it doesn't become the story 
of my death. -- Creampuff
