     Oh, hi.  Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte.  Thought I'd check out BLACKSTONE to 
see what's new.  I couldn't believe it.  Did MEDAL OF HONOR AAE really go up by 31?  
If only those guys didn't have so may missing teeth...  Gross!  ALGOPHOBIACS had like 
a really albendranius week!  Those hunks got a 1-0-0 and wound up as 5th team!  I 
couldn't believe it.  Did MEDAL OF HONOR HT really go up by 19?  If only those guys 
didn't have so may missing teeth...  Gross!  MEDAL OF HONOR AAF had like a really 
albendranius week!  Those hunks got a 1-0-0 and wound up as 10th team!  I couldn't 
believe it.  Did 115TH DREAM really go up by 18?  If only those guys didn't have so 
may missing teeth...  Gross!  Really, just how far can one team drop in one round?  
MEDAL OF HONOR 113 dropped 11, which I think's more than all the other teams 
combined!  060310AV had like a really albendranius week!  Those hunks got a 1-0-0 and 
wound up as 13th team!  I couldn't believe it.  Did 011609F really go up by 11?  If 
only those guys didn't have so may missing teeth...  Gross!  ROOKIE QUEEN 35 had like 
a really albendranius week!  Those hunks got a 1-0-0 and wound up as 16th team!  See 
if I even talk to any of those losers in THIRSTY THUGS 1332 again!  Didja see where 
they got 0-1-0?  Somebody musta won a lotta fights!  Wanna hear about a real loser?  
Listen to this--011312R got 0-1-0 and dropped 21.  Didn't see much of them after the 
fights!  MVP award for MAKAROV DREYAR?  ANIME LEGENDS 8's proud of him after beating 
FIACUS and getting 109 points.  Talk about yer big time losers!  SFC12 got smashed by 
CUBIT STIRRER, and lost 15 points!  What a putz!  RELOAD fights so hard to be 
Duelmaster, then quits fighting and loses the title.  No one said he was a genius...  
Was that a tear I saw in FORCED SUBTEXT's eye, as she took over Duelmastership?  And 
wasn't PFC 25 fit to be tied!  Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his 
teammates?  Don't ask me!   
     So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway?  It can't be for these 
really neat Spyreports can it?  MEDAL OF HONOR W1 II was the most avoided team.  Is a 
9-3-0 record really that scary?  Hhmph!  What kind of warriors are NIGHT STALKERS?  
MEDAL OF HONOR W1 II, an easy team to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them to 
accept an invitation!  Can MEDAL OF HONOR J5's RAYMOND ZUSSMAN be more popular than 
me?  He was challenged the most, but is that really the same?  I'm not so sure PFC 25 
knew all the facts when he challenged FORCED SUBTEXT of 011312R.  I saw PFC 25 
stumbling and dribbling at The Warty Toad last week...  PFC 25 was so studly out 
there in the sands!  Beating FORCED SUBTEXT and getting 18 points.  MEDAL OF HONOR HT 
must be proud, for sure!   
     Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other!  Don't you guys ever give 
it a break?  What if they had a fight and nobody showed up?  I'd be out of a job, 
that's what!!!   
     I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid.  Who would've guessed I'd be 
a famous Spyreporter?  I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it 
quits.  Its been really albendranius!  Later, guys-- Debby Tonte
