                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report.  Sit 
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis.  Hey everybody, 
watch out for ZACH ATTACK, who flew up 15 points in the rankings after mashing 
WILLIAM like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay 
to walk out on the sands.  WILLIAM was subdued by ZACH ATTACK and drops 11 points.  
Well, if ya don't shows up at the laundromat, ya can'ts wash yer clothes.  OFFICE 
SPACE did not fight this week so his title was forfeit.  It's a proud day for the 
TROLLS stable, as their warrior, BERT, ascended the Duelmaster's throne.  Advice to 
bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd!   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the ALJAFIR arena.  Did you 
hear that WHEN EAGLES DARE was most avoided team this week?  Well, knowing the 
personal hygiene of WHEN EAGLES DARE's warriors, I'm not surprised!  And you guys 
like to boo me?  Well, unsling your rasberries, cause THE SHOWOFFS beats feet every 
time WHEN EAGLES DARE smiles at them.  Try farming, eh?  Well dang howdy, but if 
challenges were votes, APHRACE would be president.  Although it may be a contest he 
doesn't want to win.  MATTFELD of PERRY STRIKE FORCE had better have a good reason 
for challenging down 15 points in a challenge which she won.  I thought MATTFELD 
showed great skill and promise when she subdued RISE FROM RUIN.  All right, so I 
slept through it!  Big deal!   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  In the 'Oops, What Have I Done?' category, 
ZOE was mashed by YOU STINK, who let ZOE know that killing members of THE SHOWOFFS is 
a no-no.  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 ALJAFIR giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?).  Okay, so I may not be the world's 
best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  And remember, you 
can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've heard that one 
already!-- The Unknown Spymaster
