SPY REPORT
Oh, hi. Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte. Thought I'd check out DAL SHANG to
see what's new. MVP award for BLOODY BEGONIA? SATAN'S GARDEN's proud of her after
beating HARRUMPH and getting 12 points. Talk about yer big time losers! TWAS THE
DAY got smashed by ARETHA FRANKLIN, and lost 5 points! Don't you think the
Duelmaster is being unfair? I think SLICE 'EM UP should let MASTER OF THE EDGE be
Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about it. Is the Duelmaster really being a
real snob to his teammates? Don't ask me!
Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right? The warriors of MISTRESS 4 XMAS
must be getting lonely. They were the most avoided team. Do you guys know something
that I don't? Is there some deep dark secret why MS10 03's been avoiding MISTRESS 4
XMAS so much? Or is it just that they're too scared? Can TOURNAMENT BLUES 65's
ARETHA FRANKLIN be more popular than me? She was challenged the most, but is that
really the same?
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All DAL SHANG ever talks about is fighting!
Me, I'm more laid back. Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to
hear from you? Write! (Or have someone write for you.)
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits. Its been
really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte
