                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Sorry, not a lot of time to contemplate on the affairs of Telorinthe.  Boss ran 
off to the FtF, and now he's feeling behind in the count.
      Thanks to Burger King for consuming all the junk food.  I'm sure that's why he 
ran out of energy so fast.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome TELORINTHE.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights 
have I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  Woof!  CLASSICS were a 
bunch of dogs after NFL NETWORK got through with 'em!  4th ain't so sweet as 1st!  
Hmmmph!  I always thought HOUSE OF FUR was an over-rated team and they proved it with 
a 1-2-0!  Up 'n down.  Up 'n down.  Rankings always change.  Up 'n down.  I think I'm 
gonna be...  Well, THE DRAGONS' 2nd moved them up to 4-1-0 place.  Some people say I 
ramble too much, I don't say anything relevant.  I repeat myself.  I ramble.  Well 
MEAL TEAM 6 moved up 3, to 11th.  What's with ZOMBIE GALILEO?  He actually beat 
EMPIRE STRIKES OUT's UMPIRE PALPATINE, and walked away with 23 more points from the 
fight.  Major screwup at EMPIRE STRIKES OUT.  UMPIRE PALPATINE lost 50 points to 
ZOMBIE GALILEO.  Some new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe UMPIRE PALPATINE will provide 
more easy wins...  Another fighter (VAMPIRE ON FIRE 19-20-3) challenged another 
Duelmaster (0-2 COUNT 17-8-0).  Life goes on.  I'm sure TELORINTHE is excited about 
VAMPIRE ON FIRE, the new Duelmaster from CONJURE UP THE SUN.  (remember?)  But when 
you've seen as many as I have...  Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to 
practice on?  I hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.   
     Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges...  TELORINTHE thinks 
CONJURE UP THE SUN and their 104-91-3 is too much!  If at first you don't succeed, 
give up...  In my day, no team with a 100-90-3 would scare me off!  What's the 
problem, THE FEROCIOUS FIVE?  What do people see in HALFTIME SHOW?  Its 19-10-1?  NFL 
NETWORK ain't talkin', but it's got 139 points.  Taunt your opponent RBI-WAN KENOBI!  
That was my lucky charm when I was unfairly challenged.  (and by 62 points!)  
HALFTIME SHOW should have an easy win.  I have to get this off my chest.  What a low 
dog, HALFTIME SHOW!  It can't set itself up in a real match.  I was sorry to see 
RBI-WAN KENOBI lose.  I hate going to the effort of writing about the kind of fights 
that GUIDING LIGHT gets in.  She fights people like ICEWING, 11 points below.  I 
thought GUIDING LIGHT showed great skill and promise when she lost to ICEWING.  All 
right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     Warriors of TELORINTHE unite.  You have only your games to lose!  Sending a 
warrior to the Dark Arena reminds the others they'd better shape up.  Tough beans, 
BURGER KING.  That's what a 31-19-0 gets you.  So THE FEROCIOUS FIVE sent BURGER KING 
to the Dark Arena.  Big deal.  Plenty more fighters where BURGER KING came from.  
Dime a dozen...  Now, Spyreporters...  BOOZY SOOZY looked pretty sick and surprised 
when she learned BEER BELLIES is sending her to the Dark Arena!  Whadd'she expect 
with a 9-9-0?  14 DAY QUARANTINE of BAD SIGNS got 21 points for removing another 
young punk.  Tough luck, CLASSICS!  Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting 
younger every day?  To die so young, so gloriously!   
     Well, I'm pretty much through.  You guys need to get back practicing.  All work 
and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter.  Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.  
Olaffighterwork and no play.  I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen
