                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in 
BLACKSTONE.  Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  
Say good-bye to INTELLIVISION, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by 
the WILD THINGS stable.  Take a look at WILD THINGS' act, as they have a 4-1-0 week 
and gain 14 places in the team ranking.  Rising in the ranks like a loaf of armored 
bread (okay, I admit it's corny) is ROOKIE QUEEN 29, who swept up 11 places in the 
ranks.  Take a look at ROOKIE METALLICA 1's act, as they have a 1-0-0 week and gain 
14 places in the team ranking.  Rising in the ranks like a loaf of armored bread 
(okay, I admit it's corny) is THE SUPERHEROES, who swept up 16 places in the ranks.  
Take a look at ERRTWO's act, as they have a 1-0-0 week and gain 13 places in the team 
ranking.  Suffering under a 0-1-0 record and dropping from 2nd to 16th place were the 
ROOKIE QUEEN 48.  Keep trying!  What goes up, must come down.  Watch out BLACKSTONE!  
CHI 2014 AA may fall on you as it crushes past the teams below it to fall on the 21st 
spot.  A seasoned team is steady in the lists.  But to ROOKIE METALLICA 8, which fell 
to 24th, it's what you soak in before going to the Dark Arena.  Hey everybody, watch 
out for PATELLA HEADSET, who flew up 43 points in the rankings after mashing RELOAD 
like a melon.  Keep your eye on this gal.  And falling like a basher in the top ten 
was ENTER SANDMAN, who dropped 19 points after a disappointing (to say the least) 
bout with BILLY THE KID.  Well, everybody's pal ASTROSMASH moved his record to 15-8-0 
by defeating GREAT WHITE HOPE in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 8 
recognition points.  Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger 
halberd!   
     Here is other news that is of note.  And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't 
avoid BODY BY OTTO, please raise you hand.  Wow.  Does BLACKSTONE really have that 
many liars?  Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch APRIL MAIL-IN 14S' act in the 
arena.  Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from BODY BY OTTO.  And who 
is this TRADICK you ask, with 103 points and a 16-7-0 record.  Ooh, the tales I could 
tell!  In a touching display by a 'touched' warrior, SOUND SHOWGIRL went after 
TRADICK, who was higher by 19 points.  Well, when the dust settled, SOUND SHOWGIRL 
was overcame by TRADICK.   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  Here's some advice:  warriors with little 
wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.   
     I think I had better cut this one short.  It's been nice chatting to those of 
you whom I have not offended yet.  Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian, 
but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  Its been fun, and I'm sure you 
enjoyed it (boos).  Now that I've got you worked up for Snide Clemens, I'll be 
leaving-- The Unknown Spymaster
