     Well, what are you looking at, NIANIA?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Later days, HARLEQUINS, since DEEP ELVES 
took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  THE WILD CARDS turned their 
1-0-0 turn into a 8th place rank in the listings this turn.  Any better than this, 
and you get put on hit lists.  Gee, I'm impressed, a 3-1-0 is nice, but don't get 
cocky, RESURRECTION, the Fates teach humility, and the Fates are proud.  Of course, 
we're all terribly impressed to see CHYLEYA win a fight and gain 12 points, terribly. 
Tsk, tsk, JOS beat STAUBACH and STAUBACH lost 10 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  
And if variety is the spice of life, NIANIA may be getting bland, as KALISTA stays 
top dog in the city.  Jim's Tap Room, humph!  I've tasted better ale at mortuaries.  
Where do they get this stuff?  From NIANIA's trash dumps?   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.  What's 
the big D?  DEADLY DANCERS was the most avoided team?  Bunch of lily livered... 
grumble... mumble... curse...  And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice?  
Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It was DEEP ELVES.  Ha ha ha ha!  Ooh, I'm 
frightfully impressed, RAM SHAM was this turn's most challenged warrior.  Watch that 
ego swell, sports fans.   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for NIANIA's 
morgue.  More variety.  Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is 
developing these kinds of weapons?   
     I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for 
an epee.  Forgive me for writing with a dagger.  Phlllt!  Just had to do that before 
I leave the fine city of NIANIA.  I feel much better now.  Paste this one in your 
scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens
