                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome RIZTAB.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights have 
I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  Biff!  Pow!  RIZTAB watched 
with glee as SWEET MAGIC got knocked off top spot by DREAMERS!  What's with 
MONTAIGNE?  He actually beat RIZTAB's HEZASH THE MOUTH, and walked away with 20 more 
points from the fight.  Major screwup at BLUE NOTE.  BEBOP lost 15 points to 
HONEYCOMB.  Some new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe BEBOP will provide more easy wins... 
I can barely restrain my enthusiam for SWEET MAGIC's outstanding member, Duelmaster 
CUSTARD.  I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow 
fighters?  Tough!   
     Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges...  How well I know the 
feeling of being in the most avoided team!  Don't fall out of practive, DREAMERS!  
Management must be dealin', as the boys at HELL-MART ain't reelin'!  DREAMERS' mad!  
HOSTILITY SCOOTER expects the easy win by going 18 points down.  HAM YOYO will find 
this a hard lesson!  I have to get this off my chest.  What a low dog, HOSTILITY 
SCOOTER!  He can't set himself up in a real match.  I was sorry to see HAM YOYO lose. 
     A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing.  Some fighters 
don't accept this.  The best do.  Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting 
younger every day?  To die so young, so gloriously!   
     Well, I'm pretty much through.  You guys need to get back practicing.  All work 
and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter.  Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.  
Olaffighterwork and no play.  I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

broke you more. -- Maple Tree

Artie Shaw -- Thanks for the skills. -- Tankard, one of those 11 ounce cups with a
