                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
ZENSU brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  If this keeps up, PHILANTHROPISTS, 
you'll have to shine swords instead of use them.  A drop of 5 in the rankings?  
DREAMS WORK turned their 2-0-0 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 DAVE win a fight and gain 29 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, TURTLE 
NEMESIS beat TERRIBLE BEAUTY and TERRIBLE BEAUTY lost 15 points.  You're breakin' my 
heart.  Looks like ZENSU has some guts at least, LEAD BALLOON the Duelmaster was this 
turn's most-challenged warrior.  And if variety is the spice of life, ZENSU may be 
getting bland, as LEAD BALLOON 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, 
ZENSU?   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.  What's 
the big D?  THE SHIRE 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 THIS MODERN WORLD 27.  Ha ha ha ha!   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for ZENSU'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.  Well, I've had enough of this 
drivel, and I'm sure you have too.  Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather.  I see 
the crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens
