SPY REPORT
Much has changed in LYRATILAN since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. Woof! THE BLUES 25 were a
bunch of dogs after GONE COUNTRY got through with 'em! 2nd ain't so sweet as 1st!
Some people say I ramble too much, I don't say anything relevant. I repeat myself.
I ramble. Well GONE COUNTRY moved up 1, to 1st. What's with CLINT BLACK? He
actually beat THE BLUES 25's LONG JOHN HUNTER, and walked away with 25 more points
from the fight. Major screwup at WORKING GIRLS. CHANELLE lost 14 points to FULL
PROOF. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe CHANELLE will provide more easy wins...
LYRATILAN has a Duelmaster who doesn't sit back and get lazy. He challenged GONE
COUNTRY's GEORGE STRAIT (14-4-1), which should prove (ahem!) interesting. I can
barely restrain my enthusiam for GONE COUNTRY's outstanding member, Duelmaster GEORGE
STRAIT. Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on? I hear some team
is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.
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, THE BLUES 25!
In my day, no team with a 74-51-2 would scare me off! What's the problem, GONE
COUNTRY? How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, ALAN
JACKSON! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you. Maybe WORKING
GIRLS' JADE is one of those gals who likes pain, or something. That's what she'll
get next week, after challenging up 32 to ALAN JACKSON. As I expected, ALAN JACKSON
won JADE. Not to start anything, but, JADE, now that you've faced him and seen hers
style, you might try it again!
Warriors of LYRATILAN unite. You have only your games to lose! Many a warrior
has met his fate in a hungover stupor. You young rapscallions, take note!
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. Are you
as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm writing it
before you read it. Oh, well. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now. Practice,
practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen
