                                      SPY REPORT

     Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills?  Well 
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for KYR'TERR.  Like, HOME LIFE had to be so 
embarrassed when they got kicked off #1 spot by THE CODA!  Way to go THE CODA!  I 
don't wanna hurt anybody's feelings or anything, but BASH BROS TAXI really goofed 
with their 0-0-0.  The guys at CANADIAN ARTISTS III like really pulled together to 
get a 0-0-0 this turn, moving up by 8.  MVP award for JANET J?  DREAMGIRLS' proud of 
her after beating DANGEROUS CRIMINAL and getting 19 points.  Talk about yer big time 
losers!  RIPCORD got smashed by KUNG-FU MASTER, and lost 9 points!  What a putz!  
HANSEL fights so hard to be Duelmaster, then quits fighting and loses the title.  No 
one said he was a genius...  And I was just getting used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit 
of...(!)  Oh well, welcome RIPCORD.  Aren't THE CODA proud.  (Oh, my.) I hear the top 
team insists all their warriors get nine hours sleep.  They want photogenic fighters 
for PR photos.   
     I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies.  Really, I just 
wing this stuff.   
     What does a fighter fight for?  I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone 
gets killed.  Not after four more fights.  What if they had a fight and nobody showed 
up?  I'd be out of a job, that's what!!!   
     Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain.  Soak it in cold water, and hand 
wash.  I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really should stop.  
Remember you guys, ease up sometimes!  Chill out!  Later, Debby Tonte
