                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
TRANSEL brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Later days, TOP HITS, since BLACK 
AND BLUES took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  Now keep the 
taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for STYLE GUY, whose 0-1-0 
this turn dropped them by 4 into 12th.  Ha!  Looks like TRANSEL has some guts at 
least, SKIP the Duelmaster was this turn's most-challenged warrior.  HOT MOOSE 
KNUCKLE challenged TRANSEL's Duelmaster for a shot at the throne.  And if variety is 
the spice of life, TRANSEL may be getting bland, as SKIP stays top dog in the city.  
Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys 
win their fights?  Skill?  Ha!   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.  
TRANSEL, I am losing what little hope I had in you.  CHAOS KIDS the most avoided 
team?  What insult will suffice, I cannot say.  And who led the way in this mass act 
of cowardice?  Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It was BREWHALLA.  Ha ha ha ha!  And 
we have SLANG DU JOUR in a challenge, going down 8 points for the fight.  Guess what? 
I thought SLANG DU JOUR showed great skill and promise when she lost to DOLFIN.  All 
right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and 
gone, and get to see if their team cared.  We're all going to die in the end, so why 
worry if the fate catches up with you sooner that later?   
     What does the TRANSEL arena have in common with the inns?  It's just as 
comfortable to sleep in either place.  Ha ha ha ha!  Phlllt!  Just had to do that 
before I leave the fine city of TRANSEL.  I feel much better now.  Paste this one in 
your scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens
