                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last 
week's fights.  Take a look at BIG LAKE COMEDY's act, as they have a 1-0-0 week and 
gain 37 places in the team ranking.  Rising in the ranks like a loaf of armored bread 
(okay, I admit it's corny) is THE PURGE 39, who swept up 11 places in the ranks.  
Take a look at PROJECT MAYHEM 103's act, as they have a 1-0-0 week and gain 34 places 
in the team ranking.  Rising in the ranks like a loaf of armored bread (okay, I admit 
it's corny) is 05 CHEVY, who swept up 38 places in the ranks.  Take a look at GUN 
MAKERS' act, as they have a 1-0-0 week and gain 43 places in the team ranking.  
Rising in the ranks like a loaf of armored bread (okay, I admit it's corny) is BIG 
LAKE FEVER, who swept up 18 places in the ranks.  Take a look at BIG LAKE MUSIC's 
act, as they have a 0-1-0 week and gain 18 places in the team ranking.  Rising in the 
ranks like a loaf of armored bread (okay, I admit it's corny) is 28ERR, who swept up 
19 places in the ranks.  Suffering under a 0-1-0 record and dropping from 3rd to 23rd 
place were the ARCANE BEACH BALL.  Keep trying!  Take a look at BIG LAKE CLEVER's 
act, as they have a 0-1-0 week and gain 19 places in the team ranking.  Hey 
everybody, watch out for A A RON, who flew up 15 points in the rankings after mashing 
MR. BIG BRAIN like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  Ya know, some days it 
doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  GERI LEAH LOUIS was defeated by RIPPLE and 
drops 8 points.  Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was 
BATHTUB ARMADA 6's BRITANNIA, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by TYLER 
DURDEN.  An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay. 
     But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!  
And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid BIG LAKE CRITTER, please raise you 
hand.  Wow.  Does JASPER GULCH really have that many liars?  For those of you who 
like math, try this one:  BIG LAKE CRITTER + Weapons That go Boom = R UPSTARTS + 
Avoid City.   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  Yesterday I talked to the 
THIRSTY THUGS 1826's manager and SHARK KILL, slayer of OTHO.  The manager:  'I think 
I can, I think I can'.  SHARK KILL:  'I already did'.  Ask not the elves for counsel, 
for they will say both yes and no.  Silly buggers, eh?   
     Well, there's the manager of the JASPER GULCH giving me the 'cut' sign (or is 
that 'They're going to strangle you in the alley?).  C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some 
tracks.  And remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), 
oh, you've heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster
