Well, you know that. As do I. So. That's settled. Ah! I should talk about the fights. There were two challenges this time around! From two different teams! THUNDER BUG (37-3734) (27-17-0,195) of TACKLE BOX challenged WORK IN PROGRESS (38-4193) (71-196-2,204) of JUST BECAUSE. THUNDER BUG devastated WORK IN PROGRESS in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge fight. Go, Buri! RASCALLY RABBIT (59-1338) (34-29-0,200) of THE WILLBURYS 1 challenged ENDER (69- 1066) (37-32-4,207) of XENOCIDE. RASCALLY RABBIT was demolished by ENDER in a 2 minute one-sided Challenge melee. Ender, yes, I... um... owe him a story. Anyway... it was a good challenge but a not unexpected result. And we have a new Keeper of the Runeblade! Kalidor, the silly ass, failed to make a challenge and got matched up with Stassia. The tough redhead may not have as much raw talent as he does, but she's got more than three times his experience. That's always a bad sign. KALIDOR (69-2314) (33-31-0,260) of HYBORIA fought STASSIA (37-1523) (93-106-4,226) of UP TO NO GOOD. KALIDOR was defeated by STASSIA in a crowd pleasing 2 minute Title duel. Hmm. At least, we'll probably get a column out of Stassia. Let's see... Oh, Snide Clemens said "Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use." Now that's a silly thing to say. I've seen fighters polishing their chainmail, laboriously rubbing the tarnish off of each piece of chain. Or, you know, making their squires do it, if they've got squires. ??Radar?? is our Overall Popularity Leader, so what else is new? He was beaten up by She-Puppy's other fighter, that's what. CRYSOPRASE (1-3266) (102-126-2,215) of ILLFANG PACT fought ??RADAR?? (82-20310) (80-95-1,192) of DYSLEXICS UNTIE! II. CRYSOPRASE was viciously subdued by ??RADAR?? in an action packed 3 minute gory brawl. Crysoprase was the clear favorite, not being as bad at fighting as the little guy. She's the top Parry-Striker, too. A rather weird style, like the bassoon, which has been described as "an ill wind that nobody blows good." Or is it Parry- Lunging that's like the bassoon? I forget. You noticed a line from Selena Steele in the personal ads? Calling herself the queen of scum? Maybe she's right... she was matched against Smell Carefully this turn, winning him the title of This Turn's Favorite. SELENA STEELE (37-2010) (43-15- 0,188) of SOULTHIEVES fought SMELL CAREFULLY (18-8889) (63-109-2,172) of STREET PIZZA. SELENA STEELE luckily beat SMELL CAREFULLY in an action packed 6 minute gruesome melee. Well done. Oh, no! Men Working was beaten by a stand-in-- M. Chardinee. Not by a lot, but still! MEN WORKING (38-4189) (56-211-1,168) of JUST BECAUSE fought M. CHARDINEE (104-8) (0-0-0,110) of THE MIDDLE WAY. MEN WORKING slimly lost to M. CHARDINEE in a popular 5 minute fight. We have an anomaly... The inimitable Hoffa fought three times, and was beaten three times! Wait... is there more than one Hoffa in our arena now? Ah yes, they have different ID numbers. But they're all unhappy today. And they've all helped to boost the record of The Middle Way. * JERI LOUGH (5-4840) (20-48-0,69) of THE MIDDLE WAY 5 fought HOFFA (5-4348) (12-113-0,48) of JOHNS. JERI LOUGH devastated HOFFA in a 1 minute one-sided battle. * JAMMY LARKE (5-4926) (29-27-0,65) of THE MIDDLE WAY 5 fought HOFFA (5-4622) (27-44-0,35) of JOHNS. JAMMY LARKE devastated HOFFA in a crowd pleasing 3 minute gory mismatched bout. * KATIRONA MURH (5-4929) (37-25-2,71) of THE MIDDLE WAY 5 fought HOFFA (5-4299) (15-45-0,17) of JOHNS. KATIRONA MURH viciously subdued HOFFA in a crowd pleasing 1 minute gruesome bout. I think I've written enough and they'll unchain me from my desk now. Just kidding. On this very gray day -- cheerio!

THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE Darkholm -- The queen of scum is back. -- Selena Malic -- Well, if you wanted carousing, you shouldn't have let the Beach Babes go back into retirement. They practically INVENTED carousing, or at least they've got the patent on some intriguing twists. That smash of theirs, now THERE is a drink with authority, and vitamins, too! -- Jeri Lough Jeri Lough -- Indeed. I loved smash, and they did not leave me the recipe. The Babes are sorely missed. -- Malic Malic -- Your taste in colors is certainly... unique. I myself would not be caught dead in pastels, and I view plaid with considerable skepticism. -- Helene Juste Pastels? No, no, no! In this misty season of... what do we call it? Ah! Autumn!... when the fog makes a pastel of everything, what we need are the brightest colors. Which I provide! Many people view plaid with skepticism, but I am a true believer! -- Malic Malic -- Should I speak of that in this forum? It's usually only discussed in the back rooms of tattoo parlors. -- Jammy Larke Jammy -- OOhhhh! THAT'S what you meant. I was thinking of, you know, golems and how some of them wish they had been given... never mind. Tattoos, of course. Of course. -- Malic Sputterbuzz -- Ignore Malic. He knows nothing about "women of a certain age." Here on the Isle, after all, we are ageless. -- Helene Juste P.S. Have you considered a dappled fabric? It would conceal the results of your unfortunate tendency to sputter. Hoffa -- My teammates are correct, you're an idiot. Nothing wrong with being an idiot, though. Some of my best friends are idiots. -- Jeri Lough P.S. Especially when they carouse. 2 + 2 = 4 -- As if! Today, it equals 22. -- Jammy Larke Hoffa -- And twins, besides, although you don't look much alike. -- Katirona Murh P.S. Even when you dress alike. Lennon -- Do you really think THAT was what Jammy meant by a "manly ornament"? I'm... stunned. How did you get it past the stewards? -- Pendru Rost Thunder Bug -- You're pretty good with that ridiculous weapon. And I think that guy in the audience was wrong to call you a stupid idiot. -- Stassia They do say that it takes one to know one. Smell Carefully -- You need to work on your defense, golem. -- Crysoprase LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS THUNDER BUG devastated WORK IN PROGRESS in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge fight.
