There were no challenges, no avoids, no deaths... ONE A DAY (98-799) (73-43-3,399) of MY DRUGS fought MAHI MAHI (18-4899) (154-84- 2,235) of BIG MEAN FISH. ONE A DAY was devastated by MAHI MAHI in a 2 minute mismatched Title fight. I must say that I LIKE Mahi Mahi. Top Striker. I prefer the less refined, more elemental fighting styles. Wall of Steel is the best... love that endurance... but Strikers have such lovely muscles! So welcome to the top of the heap, MM, and I hope to see a column from you next turn! Please do not disappoint me. How unfortunate that the fastidious Fool's Mate got matched up with Greasy Napkins AGAIN! Fate can be cruel. At least Fool's Mate won the fight and gained 34 points for his team (not that it's going to help). GREASY NAPKINS (82-10156) (15-8- 0,93) of REAL PIZZA FLAVOR fought FOOL'S MATE (3-5516) (24-36-0,55) of GAMES LIBRARY. GREASY NAPKINS was overpowered by FOOL'S MATE in an exciting 1 minute one-sided fight. Well done! HE HATE ME (18-7820) (66-53-2,217) of WASTELAND fought SHADOWMANE (104-28) (0-0- 0,200) of INTREPID AMATEURS! HE HATE ME handily defeated SHADOWMANE in a popular 1 minute uneven fight. Our local amateur team had a 3-2 turn this cycle. Well done! * MR TACO WORKS (18-7620) (28-21-1,182) of WASTELAND fought BLIND BEGGAR (104- 26) (40-35-0,200) of INTREPID AMATEURS! MR TACO WORKS was devastated by BLIND BEGGAR in an exciting 1 minute uneven duel. * GOHAN (18-8449) (47-40-1,194) of WASTELAND fought SOLACIA (104-24) (68-32- 0,225) of INTREPID AMATEURS! GOHAN was beaten by SOLACIA in an exciting 1 minute match. * CHIPS AHOY (97-1586) (27-21-4,184) of DEATH BY CHOCOLATE fought LAUGHING BARMAID (104-9) (0-0-0,170) of INTREPID AMATEURS! CHIPS AHOY slimly won victory over LAUGHING BARMAID in a popular 3 minute fray. * OLD MAID (3-5624) (26-34-1,58) of GAMES LIBRARY once again (!) fought DEBBY TONTE (104-2) (20-30-0,30) of INTREPID AMATEURS! OLD MAID was defeated by DEBBY TONTE in an exciting 2 minute brutal struggle. I don't know if any of you are aware that in the Talahya courts, all testimony is dutifully transcribed by clerks. Some of it is rather amazing. I've recently been shown a selection of excerpts that you may find informative. Q: So the date of conception (of the baby) was Frostwind 8th? A: Yes. Q: And what were you doing at that time? Q: She had three children, right? A: Yes. Q: How many were boys? A: None. Q: Were there any girls? Q: How was your first marriage terminated? A: By death. Q: By whose death was it terminated? Q: Can you describe the individual? A: He was about medium height and had a beard. Q: Was this a male, or a female? Q: Doctor, how many autopsies have you performed on dead people? A: All my autopsies are performed on dead people. Q: All your responses must be oral, OK? What school did you go to? A: Oral. Q: Do you recall the time that you examined the body? A: The autopsy started around 8:30 p.m. Q: And Mr. Swordsworth was dead at the time? A: No, he was sitting on the table wondering why I was doing an autopsy on him. Q: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse? A: No. Q: Did you check for blood pressure? A: No. Q: Did you check for breathing? A: No. Q: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy? A: No. Q: How can you be so sure, Doctor? A: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar. Q: But could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless? A: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law somewhere. I hope you have been amused, at least a little. And I DO hope you will all try to use your power to challenge and to avoid next turn! It makes the games so much more interesting!

THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE Plankwalker -- Very good. It isn't everyone who can inch along a plank that slowly and still maintain balance. Usually it takes a golem, but you managed it quite well. -- Calculator Greasy Napkins -- *I* am not the fool, and I won't be partnered with anyone who can accept napkins like THAT. Euwh! -- Fool's Mate the Fastidious Mr. Dutch Crunch -- Hmm, milk chocolate with almonds. Not bad, though dark chocolate and pecans would be better. -- Strategics P.S. You think it odd that a golem would appreciate chocolate? Not so, we are often designed to appreciate ALL that is best, and chocolate is definitely in that group. Strategics -- Have you been associating with Life? -- Desiree Vista Blows -- And in time, is covered by a... Dune Debby Tonte -- Oh, dear, I do believe Strategics was RIGHT about you. It simply doesn't seem possible for you to be the REAL Debby Tonte. For one thing, though you show a blonde head of hair, your roots are red. And, as noted last time, your tan is pale and a little uneven. A good tan takes work, you know. -- Old Maid Desiree -- Can you confirm the rumor that the Laughing Barmaid has run off with the Innkeeper's Son? Or is this a vile slander of two upstanding young people? -- Old Maid Old Maid -- The Innkeeper's Son offered to put her up for the night, but the Barmaid Laughed. -- Desiree LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS ONE A DAY was devastated by MAHI MAHI in a 2 minute mismatched Title fight.
