                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.  
I doubt DAL SHANG will ever be the same.  And let's see, SCOOTER PIE fought LAWNMOWER 
MAN and gained 12 points and contributed to THE MOTHERSHIP CE's 2-1-0.  LAWNMOWER MAN 
has lost to SCOOTER PIE, falling 10 points, while helping make WHILST I CHATZY a 
1-2-0 turn.  Defending his title for another turn, BREADFAN kept TOURNAMENT BLUES 
65's warrior, TAIL DRAGGER JONES, from claiming the throne.  Can someone confirm a 
rumor for me?  I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The 
Blazing Unicorn until they win.  Maybe?   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  TOURNAMENT BLUES 65 has cause to stand tall, as they were DAL 
SHANG's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to beat.  And guess 
who avoided TOURNAMENT BLUES 65 stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was 2416 
BOURBON ST.  Anyone surprised?   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their 
enemies.  You know who you are; and it's considered rude.   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  Well, I'm burning daylight here in DAL SHANG and I've a long road 
ahead of me.  Happy Trails.  Until you see my quill in DAL SHANG again, farewell--
