                                    TEAM SPOTLIGHT

Bookie approaches HAL, the RSI computer with a very apprehensive look in his eyes. He 
rocks back and forth with a look that suggests that he was trying to find the words to 
say. Slowly, he speaks, "Um, HAL, HAL ole buddy, you, um, sort of blackmailed me two 
days for the Jhans newsletter after I teased you about doing exactly that. I'm not a 
man who believes in coincidence, so, you, bro?"

HAL's red light blinks twice but no verbal reply comes. Bookie bends over and examines 
the computer screen with greater scrutiny. "Come on, HAL. Don't be that way, buddy. 
We're cool, right?"

No answer.

"Right?"

Still no answer. Bookie hangs his head and walks out of the room. Suddenly HAL's red 
light grows brighter and flashes. In the same tone he used in 2001: A Space Odyssey, 
he says, "Don't start not *bleep* won't be no *bleep*, Dave."

A smiley face appeared on the computer screen. HAL added, "Start the *bleep*'n show."

The house band jams out performing Pantera's Walk as the crowd sings along. As 
unlikely as it seems, Ultraist is singing lead and appears to be enjoying himself. The 
normal Being The Elite set is adorned with balloons and other assorted decorations. It 
is obvious that this is a special show.

Bookie walks out from behind the curtain and the lights illuminate the desk and coach 
where Cluricus is seen sipping on a coffee mug. The crowd erupts with cheers. Bookie 
blows kisses to the crowd and takes several bows.

"Hello, mother*bleep*'rs." The crowd gets louder and Bookie smiles. "What a *bleep*'n 
turn to be in Jhans, the Heart and bloody Soul of the Dark Federation. Let's give it 
up for Jhans, y'all."

The crowd applauds and screams in response.

"Looks like we're having a party out here, Bookie," Cluricus says as he casually plays 
with a grouping of balloons.

"We most definitely ARE having a party, my man. My pride and joy Pixie Dust got her 
invitation to the Isle and I couldn't be prouder. And here's a hint to certain slow 
people: If Pixie Dust is my warrior, you just might be able to figure out at least one 
of my teams in the arena." Bookie straightens his suit and adds, "I actually have to 
put that now because the very people who complain about my writing later ask me to 
repeat what I wrote. Only in *bleep*'n Alastari."

Cluricus laughs. "It's not like you haven't mentioned every team that's yours in the 
spotlights. And I do mean every single one. You've had a good run winning awards. 
You've not hidden who you are."

"And," Bookie adds, "And, it's not like one of my teams doesn't have my *bleep*'n name 
in it. I mean, how freakin' slow can you be? I thought Den was dense but Good Lord. 
And oh, Mr. Den, who also claims that I haven't revealed my teams--have you noticed 
when he finally got a winning turn over me he bragged about it? Like, how could he 
know he had a winning record against me if he didn't know which teams were mine? So, 
I'm calling bull*bleep* on Den's little whiny 'When Bookie finally lists his teams,' 
crap.

"But, enough talking about my fan club. I want to give Pixie Dust a proper send off. 
She was an average build in all honesty, 15-10-11-15-17-10-11. Hell, a lot of managers 
these days wouldn't even give her the time of day, and if they would have missed out 
doing that. Pixie is an almost unbelievable +16 in skills. +4 Init, Riposte, Attack, 
AND Defense. I personally have never seen anything like it and I think this next fact 
speaks volumes: Neon Necromancer said the most he'd ever had a warrior blessed was 
+15, and we all know Neon does same serious gaming.

"It was a struggle at times with Pixie despite her ending up 25-12-2 and going on an 
impressive 8-1 record since her return. She had a learning curve that was very painful 
to endure, but she slowly got her skills to levels that make her pretty dangerous. She 
survived being hunted by people like Kid Kizzle, Ultraist, Uncle Charlie, Angus, and, 
last and certainly least, Den. That's right, Boo-Boo Kitty. You could have killed the 
best warrior I've ever had, but you missed her by that much."

Cluricus takes out a flask, opens it, and holds it up to the crowd, "I say we have a 
toast to dear ole Pixie. Here's to what may be the most blessed warrior to ever come 
out of Jhans. If she's not the most she's certainly top five or top ten and that's 
worth celebrating. Cheers, mate."

Bookie is handed a glass and chugs the ale with one first thrown up in the air. He 
hands the drink back and screams, "Wooo! Well, Pixie covers Duelmaster, Recognition 
Leader, and Popularity Leader. Cluricus! What are the other awards this turn?" 

Taking a piece of paper off the desk, Cluricus says, "Unchartered Recognition Leader 
is DATORK of D'ORKS. ARABIAN NIGHTS is top chartered team with TIME STALLYNS right on 
their heels."

Raising a finger, Bookie says, "And remember folks, both those teams were unchartered 
not long ago so their win percentage could change drastically over just a couple of 
turns. So, let's keep an eye on that one. It's a marathon, not a sprint. What else you 
got, Cluricus?"

"ARABIAN KNIGHTS got team on the move followed by GODS OF UNCOOTH. And the TOP TEAM 
goes to ALLIED AXIS' SECTION HATE."

The crowd boos but Bookie slowly applauds. "Hey, hey, we are classy like that. When 
someone does well in the arena, even if we despise him, we recognize their 
achievements. That's something else we were accused of not doing by the people who are 
mad about the writing but don't read the writing so why are they mad about it in the 
first place?"

"Facts and a fool rarely walk together," Cluricus said grinning.

"That covers the awards section of the show. Congratulations to all the award winners. 
You didn't just get an award, you got an award in one of the nastiest arenas around. 
Keep up the good fight and swords high, mother*bleep*'rs. Next we have a short skit 
featuring everyone's favorite Manson Family inspired manager, UNCLE CHARLIE!!"

The scene changes a host of children sitting on the ground in front of a sign that 
reads, "JHANS PUBLICE LIBRARY." Uncle Charlie walks into view holding a large picture 
book. He takes a seat and smiles pleasantly.

"Hello, boys and girls. Today, we are going to read a book called, 'The Animal 
Whisperer Goes to Old Man Den's Farm.' Y'all ready?"

The kids applaud. Some bounce up and down excitedly. Uncle Charlie opens the book and 
begins to read.

"Once upon a time, there was an animal whisperer who could speak with any animal you 
can imagine. He went to the farm of an old grumpy man whose name was DEN. The animal 
whisperer went around and talked to the cows, the pigs, the chickens, the sheep, and 
the horses. He loved talking to animals. He thought they were more interesting than 
most people."

Charlie turns the page and continues, "Den saw the animal whisperer and marched up all 
grumpy and growling like the cranky ole *bleep* that he was. Den said, 'What are you 
doing on my farm?'"
 
"The animal whisperer replied, 'I was speaking with all your animals. The cow told me 
how you get up every morning and milk her and feed her. I spoke to the pigs who told 
me how you slop them and how much they love playing in the mud. Then I spoke to your 
sheep..."

"Den turned fifty shades of red and interrupted screaming, 'Those sheep are god*bleep* 
liars! The End." Charlie puts the book down and asks, "So, children. What did we 
learn?"

Several children raise their hand, Charlie points at one and says, "Timmy, what did 
you learn from the story?"

Timmy smiled revealing he was missing one of his front teeth. He said quite frankly, 
"I learned that Den *bleep*s sheep."

Uncle Charlie smiled proudly. "That's right, Timmy! Den *bleeps* sheep." He then turns 
his attention to the camera. "Sure, Den, that was recycling a 'joke' you used last 
week, but this is what it looks like when you intelligently make a joke actually 
humorous and not just hate-filled dribble. You'll learn, one day. Back to you in the 
studio."

The house band plays a few bars of the Rolling Stones' Honky Tonk Women as Bookie 
dances behind the desk while seated. The music stops and he quickly fist bumps 
Cluricus and says, "Ladies and gents, have we ever got a surprise guest this week. 
Believe it or not, this person reached out to the show claiming that she was a fan. I 
think once you see who it is, you'll know why we invited her to join us. With that 
said, ladies and gentlemen, let's give a warm Bullet Club welcome to DEN'S WIFE!!"

The curtains open to reveal a darkhaired woman who appears to be a former beauty queen 
who has aged gracefully into her 30s. The crowd's initial response is to boo, but 
these quickly give way to whistles and catcalls. Even Bookie and Cluricus look 
impressed.

"How in the world?" Cluricus asks.

Bookie shrugs. "I have no *bleep*'n clue."

Den's wife waves to the crowd and blows them kisses. Unlike her husband, her 
disposition seems to be one that is quite pleasant and enjoyable. She approaches the 
couch.

Bookie holds up a finger. "Wait a minute. Considering who this is, did we frisk her 
properly. She's not got any assassin blades hidden anywhere, does she?"

Off screen, Polarius shouts, "I'm the one who searched her."

"Were you thorough?" Bookie asks.

"Look at who you're talking to, dude," Polarius responds. "I can tell you her grooming 
habits. Let's just say that you're clear for landing."

Den's wife giggles and blushes. She shrugs her shoulders and says, "What can I say? I 
like airplanes."

"Well come on over and have a seat, little lady," Bookie says smiling.

Everyone gets in their spots on the set and the interview begins. "First off," Bookie 
says, "I was absolutely stunned to hear that you were a fan of the show."

Den's wife smiles. "Yes, anyone and anything that can give my husband a headache I'm a 
fan of."

"So, you two aren't close?" Cluricus asks.

"It was an arranged marriage. You tell me," Den's wife replies.

"Won't he get furious you're here?" Bookie inquires.

Smiling brightly, Den's wife says, "I most certainly hope so."

Bookie chuckles. "I like her already." He takes a letter off the desk and looks it 
over. "It said in your letter that you're a big fan of the Guns Up."

She nods. "Oh, yeah. I *bleep*'n love when you guys do that, but I'm still trying to 
learn."

"It's real easy," Bookie says with a mischievous grin. "Make a fist. Now extend your 
index finger and your thumb. That's what makes the gun hand sign."

Following directions, Den's wife makes the sign and giggles. "So, it's like a finger 
bang?"

The crowd erupts in giggles. Bookie and Cluricus exchange looks. Chuckling, Bookie 
says, "Yeah, you could call it a finger bang. Would.. would you like me to finger bang 
you?"

Den's wife nods excitedly. "Please do!"

"Guns up!" Bookie says and lifts his hand to the air. Den's wife does the same and 
their index fingers touch. The crowd cheers. "There we go. Hey, Den, check it out! I'm 
finger banging your wife on live television."

Cluricus falls off the couch laughing. He fights to catch his breath. "Oh, god. I love 
this freaking show."

Polarius' head pops out of the potted plant behind the desk. He smiles at Den's wife 
and says, "I'll finger bang ya, girl. You make me feel like the King of the Seven 
Planets."

"But there are eight planets," Den's wife replies.

With a devious grin on his face, Polarius says, "Not after I destroy Uranus there 
won't be."

Bookie steps between the two and says, "Before this gets out of hand, let's go to 
something we recorded earlier where Consortium and I made good on our bet. Enjoy."

A quick transition and we see Consortium standing at the bottom of a well. In front of 
him is a rickety old table with a Crimson colored jersey on it. Consortium sighs. 
"Well, per our bet about the Alabama Crimson Tide/Clemson basketball game in the Elite 
Eight in the Otherworld, I have come to say congratulations to Alabama for their win." 
He looks down at the jersey and then looks up. "Do I really have to put the jersey 
on?"

Bookie is seen at the top of the well. "It puts the jersey on its skin or else it gets 
the hose again." He chuckles.

"Silence of the Lambs, Bookie?" Consortium asks.

"Hey, good movie. Now, put the *bleep*'n jersey on."

Consortium grumbles and puts the Alabama jersey on. "Is there anything else I have to 
do?"

"Say the line," Bookie replies.

With a disgusted look on his face, Consortium says, "Roll Tide Roll."

"And you've got to consider putting a team in Jhans."

"That was never part of the bet."

Bookie puts on a Darth Vader mask and speaks using a voice altering device. "I've 
altered the bet. Pray that I don't alter it further."

"Fine!! I'll consider it. Can I get out of here now?"

"Right after this. I've invited the brass section from Alabama's Million Dollar Band. 
So, you guys come on and get in the shot. Let's give this man a proper Ramma Jamma 
cheer."

The band fires up and Bookie shouts, "Hey, Clemson! Hey, Clemson! Hey, Clemson! We 
just beat the hell out of you! Ramma Jamma Yella Hamma! Give 'em hell, Alabama!" 
Bookie gives the band members high-fives and celebrates. "Final Four, baby! We are 
going all the way! Who do we play next?" 

"UConn," a trombone player answers.

Bookie's demeanor changes to one of total dejection. He sighs. "Oh, well. It was a 
good season. Let's go, guys."

Consortium waits at the bottom of the well. No help comes. No ladders or lowered. 
"Bookie? Umm. Bookie? I'm still down here. Bookie! Get me out of here!"

Static.

The entire Bullet Club staff has gathered as Ultraist leads the band in playing some 
exit music. Bookie waves to the crowd. "That will wrap up another episode of Being The 
Elite! We'd like to thank everyone who participated and extra special thanks to 
Consortium who made a donation to the Jhans Orphan Fund as part of our best."

Cormo's mom pops her head up in the back and screams, "*Bleep* them kids!"

The audience bursts into laughter. Bookie doubles over laughing. "Why is she still 
here?"

Cluricus shrugged. "Someone in HR gave her a job."

Bookie looks confused. "Dude, I AM HR. Let me get to the bottom of this. Until later, 
farewell from the Heart and Soul of the Dark Federations Jhans."

Static.

Consortium still stands at the bottom of the well with his hands on his hips. 
"Bookie," he screams to no reply. He takes out his phone and places a call. "Hello? 
AARP? Yeah, Consortium. Mhm. Mhm. Yup. Stuck at the bottom of a well again. Fifteen 
minutes? Sweet." He hangs up and waits patiently.

***---------*---------*---------*---------**---------*---------*---------*---------***

Cookie slowly woke up, rubbing his temples trying to get his thoughts together. The 
headache was thundering between his ears making even his vision a struggle. The 
memories of last night were like quick flashes of a broken story stopping for only a 
quick visit in his head. If he focused really hard on an image, he could almost hear 
the sounds of the memory playing along, bringing back a glimpse of what happened. He 
was home, at least that meant something, he had enough wits about him to make it back 
to his rented room. The room was not much, it was once the stall where they kept the 
crippled goats until slaughter, but the owners added a door and swept out most of the 
hay and droppings. Cookie didn't mind, he just needed a bed, even a straw bed was good 
enough for him. Having finally accepted his position in life this small space was 
where he felt safe, it was his for only two coppers each day. Sometimes the coppers 
came easy, sometimes they were tough, but he always paid, and his straw bed always 
welcomed him.

He sat up, forcing his eyes open and blinking back against the light of day, even in 
his poorly lit space. With a start he jammed a hand into his pocket and pulled out a 
few coins, relief swelling inside of him once he realized that he still had the 
ability to pay for today's room rent. Last night's fun certainly took its toll on his 
coin purse though, at least half were no longer there. Cookie enjoyed many bad habits, 
the bottle being just one and last night that habit was happy to be embraced. He had 
performed many stupid actions after a few bottles, but this time he was flummoxed, 
somehow in all the fun last night he found himself home alone with a sword training 
device (STD). He struggled to remember how he had gotten it, but the memory kept 
getting away from him.

As he shook his head an image flashed, he remembered walking over to the table where 
The Consodomite was sitting. As he approached the table, he noted the paperwork that 
was spread across the space, lovely images of children at play. Several had notes 
written into the margins that looked like a sequence of events. Cookie remembered how 
lovingly The Consodomite handled the documents, how softly his hands would play over 
the images, the needy look in his eyes and the steady stream of drool at the corner of 
his mouth. He remembered how quickly The Consodomite bundled his documents together 
and put them away when he realized Cookie was there. Instead, replacing them with a 
set of awards that appeared to have been homemade. He began to remember the 
conversation they had...

"Hey check these out Cookie, these are my awards for getting warriors to the Isle of 
the Eye." The Consodomite boasted. Cookie looked at the awards realizing they were 
handmade and not official at all. Picking one up, he asked, "What is this award for?" 
The light shined bright in The Consodomite's eyes, "Oh, this one is wonderful, this is 
for my Striker that received an invite after fighting only 21 fights, 16 of them 
against arena stand-ins. Sometimes people try to challenge my warriors, but then I 
don't fight them and that removes the threat. Also, I rarely tell anyone that a team 
is mine so I don't have to worry about grudge challenges. You should come over to my 
house and see all the statues I have made of myself. I love myself." Cookie realized 
that he would just keep talking about himself if he stayed there, so he stumbled away.

After thinking about that conversation he realized that there was no way The 
Consodomite would have given him a sword training device, the man is so in love with 
himself that he would not share anything. Squeezing his eyes tight he thought harder 
about the evening and then remembered seeing Doc Squeal hiding in the corner, 
surrounded by a wall of paper boxes. Cookie slowly put the next few minutes together 
in his head...

"Doc Squeal, I just have to know, do they call you that because you like to squeal or 
because you want to make me squeal?" asked Cookie as he approached. Doc Squeal quickly 
flipped a few documents over and said, "If you think these were my strategies, you are 
mistaken, they are someone else's so it doesn't matter if you looked at them or not." 
Cookie was puzzled because he didn't use much strategy, most of his warriors were just 
bricks, they stood there and soaked up damage. They exchanged a few words but Cookie 
found Doc Squeal to be about as interesting as reading instructions for sandpaper. He 
started to question his obsession with the man, but trying to control your urges and 
feelings was folly. Cookie kept trying to talk to him, but eventually Doc Squeal just 
kept piling boxes up until it was hard to talk through them.

Cookie shook his head; it was doubtful that Doc Squeal gave him a sword training 
device. He wondered, he usually found his partner Cluripus and finished the evening 
with him. Their game of "Buns Up" was always a nice way to spend time, but never had 
he ever woke up with a sword training device after playing buns up with his partner. 
This was a new development and he was not sure he was going to figure out where he got 
the sword training device. If he couldn't figure this out, how was he ever going to 
figure out where he also got the halberd extraction remover parry expert simulator 
(HERPES)?

From the desk of Den and the Allied Axis.

                                      SPY REPORT

     I was going on vacation, see?  Surf, sun...  But what do those bums say?  "Hit 
the road, Debby Tonte.  JHANS needs a spyreport."  Oh, well.  I don't wanna hurt 
anybody's feelings or anything, but TIME STALLYNS really goofed with their 0-5-0.  
The guys at D'ORKS like really pulled together to get a 5-0-0 this turn, moving up by 
9.  Cut this out and put it in your scrapbooks, PAINFUL VIBES!  'Cause they got 3-1-0 
and moved up to 8th!  MVP award for BEHUTIFUL?  IRON DAMSELS' proud of her after 
beating SOUL CALIBER and getting 21 points.  Talk about yer big time losers!  SOUL 
CALIBER got smashed by BEHUTIFUL, and lost 17 points!  The Duelmaster isn't going to 
stop just cause she's Number One!  KASIM knows this.  He was challenged by the 
Duelmaster.  Don't you think the Duelmaster is being unfair?  I think PIXIE DUST 
should let KASIM be Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about it.  Who was the 
wiseguy that said JHANS' Duelmaster was paying for drinks at Lucas Lounge?  Don't 
look at me!   
     AAARRGH!!!  I HATE SPYREPORTING!!!  Sorry.  I just had to say it.  The warriors 
of BIG LAKE BASHERS must be getting lonely.  They were the most avoided team.  Do you 
guys know something that I don't?  I don't know what MEMPHIS MAFIA II's been doing.  
They certainly haven't been accepting many fights from BIG LAKE BASHERS, that's fer 
sher.  Like, is DEFIANCE popular, or what?  He was challenged the most in all of 
JHANS!  He's got a 6-8-2, is that good?  QUAD 15 is being unfair.  She's challenged 
down 23 against KAOW'BHEL.  I don't know why they let this stuff go on.  (I'd better 
shut up) KAOW'BHEL is a real woman!  She was challenged by QUAD 15, 23 points above, 
and BEAT her!  Dark Arena, anyone?  People were asking me did KIZZLE CANT KILLME 
REALLY challenge OVERSIZE CARRION?  (all right, maybe they didn't, but it sounded 
good!) It wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything, but OVERSIZE CARRION wants me to 
write about it since it was subdued by KIZZLE CANT KILLME.  Satisfied?  NAME A 
KARDASHIAN must not be a good enough fighter to get in fair fights.  She challenged 
OBSESSION.  12 is a big difference.  (Well, that's what they tell me.) I thought NAME 
A KARDASHIAN showed great skill and promise when she beat OBSESSION.  All right, so I 
slept through it!  Big deal!   
     Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other!  Don't you guys ever give 
it a break?  TALOPEA SINN really fought hard against EUROTRASH GIRL.  That'll teach 
BOOKIE'S BROTHEL not to go and kill any of IRON DAMSELS' guys again, huh!  Fight, 
fight, fight.  Is that all you guys can do?   
     I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid.  Who would've guessed I'd be 
a famous Spyreporter?  I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really 
should stop.  Its been really albendranius!  Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

Den -- Sorry about last turn, I am not sure why Ragnar did not fight. I do not "think" 
I forgot to send in a strat, I do not "think" I intentionally left him out for the 
tourney, he is a BA so.... tourney is doubtful. Anyway, I do apologize. -- Gentleben

Consortium -- Got it, so you are okay with Bookie being vulgar and insulting, but not 
Den. I'm guessing because Bookie compliments you, thus the way to Consortium's 
acceptance is simply flattery, just like the other girls. So, you don't stand for fair 
play and comradery any longer, just flattery. Hey, you are who you are, just be you 
and be proud of it. I was correct on putting you on the same side of the line as 
Bookie. I have been fighting in 33 for a few years so I think I know a little about 
both of these guys and you. What team do you run here so I can adjust my challenges 
accordingly? -- Kodiak

Bookie -- Calm down princess, can't you take the heat? I called you out on your 
vulgarity, it's in the newsletters if you care to refresh your memory. I have no 
desire to have any understanding of your real-life situation and I don't need to add 
you to my friends list, so quit crying and trying to justify your rantings. If you 
don't like being called out on your crap, then stop reading it, sound familiar? 
Crybaby. -- Kodiak

Den -- Sounds good, let me know what the plan is. Does anyone actually know which 
teams are on their side or is that still the greatest secret in Jhans? -- Kodiak

Consodomite -- I love it that someone is finally calling you out on your crap. I think 
everyone is realizing that you don't stand for anything other than your tired old 
narrative. Give the DDS a break and try something new. What team do you fight here 
again? -- Den, the guy that doesn't use anonymity as a tool

Cookie -- I am sure you are used to putting stuff in your mouth, but don't put words 
into my mouth. At no point did I say it was their problem if they were mad. I told you 
the managers that are crybabies and get offended easily, which are The Consodomite, 
Gonad, and Gentile Ben, those are the snowflakes. Maybe you know this, maybe you 
don't, the mask that you think is the "devil" is actually the mask that Zed puts on 
the Gimp. You look like an idiot. So, Tyrant-Apex had an idea that I like, a little 
contest between us. Looks like we can put together 4-6 teams. Are you all talk or can 
you actually fight? Want to make it interesting? Challenges will be easy in about five 
turns after everyone else has left, with you to quickly follow after being embarrassed 
on the sands. This may be the only thing that Jhans would be known for, other than 
that I fight here. -- Den

Kodiak -- Interested in killing Cookie's stuff? Like, his warriors, his life, his 
special purpose, and his bank account? -- Den

Tyrant-Apex -- The good times will be rolling faster than rawhide, looking forward to 
the kill contest. -- Den

Philthy Phil -- Nicely done winning the Current Top Team again. Once you started 
challenging Cookie's stuff, great things have happened. Keep challenging and keep 
winning. -- Den

Gentile Ben -- 11 wins is almost as impressive as 12, next time try harder. -- Den

Tyrant-Apex/TNA -- We have never properly met before now, so I truthfully have no idea 
what kind of manager or person you are. Apparently, you've had issues with Den 
previously (and who hasn't). Notice how quickly he jumped on wanting to form an 
alliance. Wonder why? Wonder what could make the same fella who said god knows what 
about you, your teams, your wife, kids, etc suddenly want to be your buddy? Den is 
backed into a corner and not sure what to do. Not only is he unable to agitate me with 
his garbage spewing rhetoric (please not last newsletter he mentioned intercourse with 
my wife, reference baby batter, and made beastiality references) but I'm also 
portraying a larger personality than his in the arena and it's eating him alive. Along 
with the help of my mates we have taken Den's dominance of this arena and shoved it 
down his throat. He's only five fights above 0.500 now and only two of his three what 
seemed assuredly to be easy graduates made it out because I sent went one to the Dead 
Tournament in October. He wants your help because for one of the first times in his 
life, he's actually backpedaling getting out fought, out strategized, and out talked 
in his life. If you want to take his side, I'm good with it. I love a good fight, but 
run your eyes and take a good look at who the real bad guy is. I may love to curse, 
but I'm far from whatever Den exactly is. Listen to Consortium. All I'm doing is 
serving Den his own medicine and actually doing it in a wittier comedic fashion. So, 
you in or out? And welcome to Jhans. -- Bookie

Den -- Boy, have I apparently gotten under your skin. Baby batter? Beastiality? Sounds 
like you're letting your autobiography slip into your personal ads. And banging my 
wife? Sticking any part of yourself in that wildebeest is questionable at best. I left 
her after she started banging every single dude at her church, and that's a shoot. For 
the love of God, get to a physician quickly. You can't make me mad. You can't out talk 
me. You can't out fight me. You Freeblade boys never could handle a proper Delarquan 
party. Apparently, you still can't. Cormo was a joke. Scumby Cookie was a total 
disaster and Baby Cookie is struggling at best. You can't even run a proper TP in 
Jhans. Take that weak ass *bleep* and go home, little man. Studcraft is waiting on his 
cookies, milk, and bedtime story... so go tuck him in bed and admit, once again, 
you're a failure at the one thing you thought you were actually good at. -- Bookie, 
the Devil

Arabian Knights and Time Stallyions -- You boys seem to be blocking the top top 
chartered team title. It ain't personal, it's just business, but I'm gonna have to ask 
you boys to move. -- Bookie

Philthy Phil -- So, what's it like having to take up the slack of your homeboy there? 
Friends in real life, right? HS buddies? College? Work? I guess it really doesn't 
matter, but how many times are you going to let his mouth push you into a war you 
didn't ask for. Is he really worth it? -- Bookie
