     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.  If this keeps up, BLACK AND BLUES, 
you'll have to shine swords instead of use them.  A drop of 5 in the rankings?  Gee, 
I'm impressed, a 3-1-0 is nice, but don't get cocky, TOP HITS, the Fates teach 
humility, and the Fates are proud.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see 
ZILA win a fight and gain 41 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, BLACK BETTY beat KOKO 
TAYLOR and KOKO TAYLOR lost 16 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  And it's out with 
the old, in with the new, as ZAPP BRANNIGAN takes the Title and last week's bar tab 
from the old Duelmaster.  Heh, heh.  Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how 
else do you think some of these guys win their fights?  Skill?  Ha!   
     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.  
TOP HITS 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.   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for TRANSEL's 
morgue.  More variety.  I could say I saw this coming, but so could anyone else.  
Anyway, this turn it came.  ULLANDER's 8-15-0 has earned him the Dark Arena.  
Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing these kinds 
of weapons?   
     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!  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
