SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
TELORINTHE brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Later days, PUNY ORC PELOTON,
since BAD SIGNS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. BAD SIGNS
turned their 4-1-1 turn into a 1st place rank in the listings this turn. Any better
than this, and you get put on hit lists. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to
see KELLUMBO'S INITS. win a fight and gain 18 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, DANGEROUS
CRIMINAL beat SILVERBACK and SILVERBACK lost 9 points. You're breakin' my heart.
Going for broke or broken, our Duelmaster STEEL MUSE challenged this turn. And it's
out with the old, in with the new, as STEEL MUSE takes the Title and last week's bar
tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. I'm not in a very good mood today, but why
am I telling you this? You want to know what's new, don't you, TELORINTHE?
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
TELORINTHE, I am losing what little hope I had in you. OLDIES the most avoided team?
What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And who led the way in this mass act of
cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was BAD SIGNS. Ha ha ha ha! LUMP was
challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM insulted or
feared? Heh, heh.
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave
team is developing these kinds of weapons?
There's got to be a better place in TELORINTHE to get a drink than The Dripping
Blade! Any suggestions? Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so
nice! So nyaaah! Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come
this winter-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Well, Dark Guy of Bad signs, do you consider that we treated you better on your round
2 return with a 4-1-1? Well done. -- Coach
Twas certainly superior to my Oldies 2-3! (sigh) -- Coach
And, Doc LeGrand and his critters were on fire! Nice point gain, Doc, you killer! --
Coach
I guess we Oldies should be proud we were 1-1 against you, Doc? -- Coach
Steel Muse -- Your steel was just too much for my broom. -- Custodian
Sam Tall -- Perhaps a ski lodge taker-carer-ofer is a much better position that THIS?
I'm getting interested! -- Custodian
Ambitious Guard -- Thank the MUGs for you. -- Sport
Petro Salm -- That was a sly thing for you to do to a pius little altar boy. I
wasn't done praying, when WHAMMO! -- Altar Boy
Pyrite Puma -- You were hot; I was not. Besides, you growl better. -- 7th & Main
Topaz Tiger -- It was MY day to howl. Have you ever heard howling from a Catholic
church? Me neither. It felt and sounded G R E A T. (Tony The Tiger taught me.) --
St Michael's
Health. Humility. Honor. -- Coach
Well, two-two, no chance to get the new warrior signed up, and the hands are deeply
involved in something else. I guess this is it from us for personals today. -- Those
Who Walk the Middle Way (so as not to fall into the ditch)
