     Well, what are you looking at, ARADI?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Later days, UNNAMEABLES, since RED DOG 
GANG took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  Now keep the taverns 
open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for UNNAMEABLES, whose 0-3-0 this 
turn dropped them by 6 into 7th.  Ha!  METAL MELTDOWN turned their 3-2-1 turn into a 
8th place rank in the listings this turn.  Any better than this, and you get put on 
hit lists.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see CHRISTMAS EVE win a fight 
and gain 18 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, SOLDIER 1 beat AMBI LANCE and AMBI LANCE 
lost 12 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  And if variety is the spice of life, 
ARADI may be getting bland, as RAMBO stays top dog in the city.  Kickbacks and 
bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their 
fights?  Skill?  Ha!   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.  13TH 
CIRCLE, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided team.  
Care to know who is the most afraid of you?  And it looks like SNAKE IN THE GRASS 
avoided them the most this turn.  What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.  
Hmph.  Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, MEAT ANCHOR was this turn's most challenged 
warrior.  Watch that ego swell, sports fans.  Looks like time for laurels or hemlock, 
MEAT ANCHOR was challenged by FER-DE-LANCE, who was ranked 31 points below him.  My 
sides still hurt from laughing about MEAT ANCHOR losing and giving FER-DE-LANCE 26 
points of recognition.  Ha ha ha ha!!   
     Death and Taxes.  The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience.  Let's 
see if anyone's dead or dying.  We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if 
the fate catches up with you sooner that later?   
     I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for 
an epee.  Forgive me for writing with a dagger.  Well, I've had enough of this 
drivel, and I'm sure you have too.  Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather.  Glad 
to see the back of this place-- Snide Clemens
