     Well, what are you looking at, TRANSEL?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Now keep the taverns open late tonight, 
for there are sorrows to drown for Z.A.P.P. MASTERS, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped 
them by 5 into 9th.  Ha!  FIRST NAME BASIS turned their 2-1-0 turn into a 2nd place 
rank in the listings this turn.  Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists.  
Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see SPARROW win a fight and gain 19 
points, terribly.  And if variety is the spice of life, TRANSEL may be getting bland, 
as TUB THUMPING stays top dog in the city.  I'm not in a very good mood today, but 
why am I telling you this?  You want to know what's new, don't you, TRANSEL?   
     My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start 
talking.' I loved that woman.  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 it 
looks like LANCIARII avoided them the most this turn.  What a pack of would be 
losers, if you ask me.  Hmph.  Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, DOLFIN was this turn's 
most challenged warrior.  Watch that ego swell, sports fans.  And we have MARTY in a 
challenge, going down 12 points for the fight.  Guess what?  I thought MARTY showed 
great skill and promise when he was bested by XENOCRIS.  All right, so I slept 
through it!  Big deal!   
     Death and Taxes.  The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience.  Let's 
see if anyone's dead or dying.  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.  Well, I've had enough of this 
drivel, and I'm sure you have too.  Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather.  Glad 
to see the back of this place-- Snide Clemens
