Ode to Off Day (with apologies to Matchbox 20 and Rob Thomas)

He's got my spear marks on his throat
He's bottom shelf, and has no scrote
But I can't bring myself to look away
And also
Teach the man to close his mouth and chew
'Cause he won't turn away
Until his food is gone

I'm sorry 'bout the attitude
I need to give but, man, eschew
When you talk, why is this spit on me?
And I'm so
Terrified of you, ok not really
I'm here all the time
No, I won't go away

It's me, yeah well you can't get myself to go away
Hey it's me, and when I hit you, your feet they splay
Oh God, you shouldn't reel this way now

Reach down your hand in your pocket
Pull out some soap for me
It's been an Off Day, always, you ain't bright
And no lord, your stench won't stop me
Just keep me vomiting
It's been an Off Day, always, ain't that trite

Well I'm surprised if they'd believe
All the hits you took from me
I didn't hear from you the words bI give!b
And you're so badly managed, a pisser they're laughing
Too damn bad you fell so far so fast
So what, so long

Look at your record and I mock it
At least there's hope for me
It's been an Off Day, always, you ain't bright
And no lord, war hammers won't stop me
Just keep on trembling
It's been an Off Day, always, ain't that trite

Oh, you ain't bright

It's me, yeah well you can't get myself to go away
Hey it's me, and when I hit you, your feet they splay
Oh God, you shouldn't reel this way now

Swing with your hammer and I block it
That's pretty dope of me
It's been an Off Day, always, you ain't bright
And no lord, your leather won't stop me
Just disassembling
It's been an Off Day, always, ain't that trite

Look at your record and I mock it
At least there's hope for me
It's been an Off Day, always
You ain't bright

Look at your face and I sock it
Look at the blood flow now
It's been an Off Day, always
Ain't that right
Oh, you ain't bright

Well, ain't that right, right, right on, shut up
Right, right, right on, right on, shut up
Come on

                                 DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
                             Notes from the arena champ.

     I am Fleeker Floogal. I gained the throne because my manager hides his 
respectable warriors from the throne. He says it is so they can enter tourneys and 
bring glory to himself, but who is he kidding? Does he really think they are 'the 
answer?' Meanwhile, my only goal in life is to attempt to keep this throne from the 
likes of that nasty basher Off Day! He hides in cowardice and challenges Sand Dancers 
with losing records while I remain on top of the arena. This turn may finally be the 
day that I face the mailman not at his post! Or perhaps he'll hide again! Or perhaps 
my manager will also play the coward and send ME after a Sand Dancer. He'll claim it 
is to deny poor Assur of his goal, but I'll know the truth!!! Cowards always look for 
excuses and give great rationalizations for their actions. Yet who is it that is 
fighting on the actual sands!
     Welcome to DM 74, home of cowards, Sand Dancers, and myself, the Duelmaster!!!

                                          -- Fleeker Floogal

                                      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!.  Say good-bye to SPROUT OF MY WAY!, as they are 
pushed from the coveted top team spot by the SAND DANCERS stable.  Hey everybody, 
watch out for STOMPER, who flew up 19 points in the rankings after mashing BARTRAN 
KLEE like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  Drawing on all of his experience as a 
14-8-1 warrior, OFF DAY went for the Duelmastership against FLEEKER FLOOGAL this 
week.  In front of all the crowds, OFF DAY took the Duelmaster's crown for his own.  
I give the bum two weeks.  Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger 
halberd!   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the DAYLA KIV arena.  And 
hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid SPROUT OF MY WAY!, please raise you hand. 
Wow.  Does DAYLA KIV really have that many liars?  Okay, so I may not be funny, but 
catch BASH BROS MAILMAN's act in the arena.  Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at 
running from SPROUT OF MY WAY!.  Well just about everybody wants a piece of OFF DAY, 
who was this week's most challenged warrior.   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  Here's some advice:  warriors 
with little wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.   
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in DAYLA KIV have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  Okay, so I may not be the 
world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  See ya 
next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

-- Marai Djian

Stomper -- Ha.  You tried to stomp my toes, but I was *ready* for you. Take that, you 
sprout! -- Bartran Klee
P.S.  Besides, you needed the loss.  Maybe just the one, but at least the one.

A scribe, okay.  I don't know if he was embezzling, and I don't care. -- Martin Denny

Fleeker Floogal -- I can't even NAME the colors of your, um, appearance.

Marai Djian -- Neither are you. -- Madame U-Tana

Stomper -- Watch what you say.  Street Sweepers are everywhere, and we stick together.

Marai Djian -- Don't gloat, woman.  It ill becomes you. -- Khad'drakh'n'dhaz of Khra, 
known as the Traveling Tinker, maker of superb blades
P.S.  If you LOSE to me, I'll make a blade for YOU.

Sportacus -- Believe it. -- a clean Ruffian, actually

Martin Denny -- If you think the second win means anything, think again. If you can. 
-- Lalvo of the Pen, who has seen them come and go
