SPY REPORT
I can't believe the violence in TELORINTHE! I still haven't told Mom I'm
writing Spyreports. She'd have a cow! Well, here we go... Cut this out and put it
in your scrapbooks, SUDDENLY, THE VAN! 'Cause they got 4-0-0 and moved up to 3rd!
MVP award for MELANIE OBERN? MIDDLE WAY 21's proud of her after beating CUSTODIAN
and getting 14 points. Talk about yer big time losers! CUSTODIAN got smashed by
MELANIE OBERN, and lost 16 points! The Duelmaster isn't going to stop just cause
it's Number One! BANDIT PRINCE knows this. He was Dark Arena Challenged by the
Duelmaster. Don't you think the Duelmaster is being unfair? I think ACCORDION
should let BANDIT PRINCE be Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about it. Who
was the wiseguy that said TELORINTHE's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at The
Swinging Aardvark? Don't look at me!
I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies. Really, I just
wing this stuff. The warriors of MIDDLE WAY 21 must be getting lonely. They were
the most avoided team. Do you guys know something that I don't? Hhmph! What kind
of warriors are OLDIES? MIDDLE WAY 21, an easy team to beat if I ever saw one, can't
get them to accept an invitation! Can MIDDLE WAY 21's MORIS NAHR be more popular
than me? He was challenged the most, but is that really the same?
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All TELORINTHE ever talks about is fighting!
Me, I'm more laid back. Like, who is this beast??? ACCORDION gets sent to the Dark
Arena, battles BANDIT PRINCE, and returns to tell of it!!! I bet OLDIES manager is
surprised! Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to hear from you?
Write! (Or have someone write for you.)
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really
should stop. Remember you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out! Later, Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Black Lightning II -- Way to grab that Team On The Move title with 34 big points!
You are some fine scoring machine. -- Coach, Oldies
Morris Nohr -- I guess I just have too much umpah for you. -- Accordion
Eric -- I know I have done it before, but I still think I am just plain lucky to beat
you. My end game must be better than I thought. Thank you, Charles Goran! --
Contract Bridge
Melanie -- Pardon the pun, but I think I just "cleaned" your clock. -- Custodian
Clean clocks keep better time.
Sven, Sven, Sven, did you have to have your prize and eat the carmel corn too? --
Cracker Jacks
Petro Salm -- It sure is a long way from Cub scouts, isn't it? -- Life Scout
Health. Humility. Honor. -- Coach
Our heartfelt congratulations to Accordion. Go, man, go! -- Jorja and the Middle Way
Life Scout -- I can't believe you did that--and the steward didn't call it "mis-
matched." Because it WAS. Totally. I should get points for lasting three minutes.
-- Petro Salm
Accordion -- If I didn't start OUT tone-deaf, I am now. -- Moris Nahr
Sanger -- I was tempted to do all sorts of things, in the sure knowledge that your
manager wouldn't notice, but decided not to. Besides being unfair to you, it'd be
too much work. -- Sam Tall
P.S. Us Shews aren't the best of friends with Fratsfans, you know. There was that
war....
Custodian -- I think that chlorox in a squirt bottle is PROBABLY unfair. -- Melanie
Obern
P.S. But my armor is very clean now.
Faber Castell -- You make me think of colored pencils. That's probably why I lost,
too, it's hard to fight when thinking of colored pencils. -- Rosana Sabel
P.S. Or maybe pastels.
