                                      SPY REPORT

     So why do I have this bag over my head?  Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and 
I'm going to give you a spy report!.  Say good-bye to SAXON, as they are pushed from 
the coveted top team spot by the YAK-MOOSE PARTY stable.  For every winner there is a 
loser.  Speaking of losers, lets take a look at SAXON, who went down to 1st from 5th. 
Life is tough.  Coming up with a solid 3-2-0 outing, YAK-MOOSE PARTY has advanced 5 
places in the rankings.  Hey everybody, watch out for RE-PETE, who flew up 14 points 
in the rankings after mashing DISTOPIAN FANTASY like a melon.  Keep your eye on this 
guy.  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  MIO MI was subdued 
by BUDDHA and drops 9 points.  What does the Duelmaster and Piltdown Man have in 
common?  They are both the most challenged apes in human history!  Heyheyhey!  
Drawing on all of his experience as a 21-18-1 warrior, TRAFALGAR went for the 
Duelmastership against MOA this week.  It's a proud day for the HALLOWED GROUND 
stable, as their warrior, TRAFALGAR, ascended the Duelmaster's throne.  An apple a 
day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.   
     Here is other news that is of note.  Here's a song for you:  Who's afraid of the 
big, bad 2 BAD 4 U?  Big bad 2 BAD 4 U.  Big bad 2 BAD 4 U.  WILLAF's afraid of the 
big bad 2 BAD 4 U.  Tra la la la la!  For those of you who like math, try this one:  
2 BAD 4 U + Weapons That go Boom = YAK-MOOSE PARTY + Avoid City.  Was it guts or an 
overtaxed mental capacity that had HIGH FANTASY challenge up 27 points in the 
rankings to take on EARHART?  Some advice to HIGH FANTASY.  Please don't challenge up 
27 points to fight a 9-1-0 fighter like, say EARHART.  (Okay, so it may be a little 
late).  In a mismatch, our friend WEREWOLF of YAK-MOOSE PARTY got heroic notions and 
challenged VON LIECHTENSTEIN.  What did it get him?  A 6-4-0 record, that's what.  
This week WEREWOLF 6-4-0 fought VON LIECHTENSTEIN 9-2-0 and in losing gained 7 
points.  I know several gladiators who could go for a few fights like that.   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  Here's some advice:  warriors with little wit and will may 
encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.   
     Well, there's the manager of the WILLAF giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?).  Well, there goes another Spy Report.  
Good luck in next week's fights.  Hasta la bye-bye.  (Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya 
bum!')-- The Unknown Spymaster
