He appears absolutely infuriated. "What is wrong with you people?" he growled. "The things I'm seeing out of you are absolutely idiotic. I'm starting to have my doubts that any of you are worthy of the Allied Axis name. I mean, seriously. Who here actually considers himself an idiot? I you think you're an idiot I want you to stand up." The room remained absolutely silent. No one moved until a young man in the back of the room stood up. Den laughed with an expression of frustration on his face. He pointed at the young man and sneered. "Tell me, why do you consider yourself an idiot?" The young man cleared his throat. "I don't. I just saw you standing there all by yourself admitting it and I didn't want you to feel bad about being the only one." Den turned red. His head snapped the direction of Philthy Phil. "Phil?" "Yeah?" "Have that man executed." "Sure, but first we better start the show." "The show?" Den asked. Phil transformed into a highly excited all but bouncing off the walls persona. "Live from Jhans... it's Saturday Night!!" Music plays and the BTE opening credit scenes run. We transition to the Bullet Club set. Fans are applauding as Cluricus warms up the crowd. "Ladies and gentlemen! Coming straight out of Jhans and Den's fantasies... the only thing blowing harder than his ego-storm is Kodiak's mom at Coachella... herrrrreeeeeeeee'sssssssss Bookie!!" Bookie walks through the curtains and the crowd arounds. Bookie smiles. "Good evening, everyone. Welcome to the Heart and Soul of the Dark Federation, Jhans." Bookie turns to Cluricus and says, "Did you know that wasn't going to be Jhans' original name?" "It wasn't?" Cluricus asked. "No, since Sunset is 'The Arena of Death,' Jhans was going to be 'The Arena of *Bleep* Around and Find out,' but we didn't think the censor would let us advertise that." "The second fits better," Cluricus said with a smile. "Agreed," Bookie said grinning. He made the finger gun symbol and held it up high. "Let me give everyone here in the studio and our fans at home a happy Guns Up. Now, remember, Guns Up is making the finger gun symbol and saluting someone. Den likes to mockingly call this 'Buns Up,' which is really ironic, as buns up is how we pass his wife around back in the Green Room." A picture on the wall opens up like a door. Den's wife stands there in a bikini with black marker written hippie symbols all over her body. She giggles and says, "It's true." She pauses and then adds, "Sock it to me," before vanishing. Bookie chuckled. "It makes me happy that Consortium may be the only person to fully get that reference. Laugh-In, Goldie Hawn, we love ya." He blows a kiss at the camera. "Tell them the big news about Kodiak," Cluricus said. "Oh, yes. The royal family here in Jhans announced a complete reshuffling of their political cabinet. Word is that Kodiak was offered to head up either the Jhans equivalent of the CIA or the FBI." The crowd giggles. Cluricus shakes his head, chuckling. Bookie continues, "Kodiak responded to the offer by saying that he refuses to head an administration that he can't spell." "Well, that's what you get for dropping out in the first grade," Cluricus said. "First grade?" Bookie chuckled. "I think you may be giving the boy too much credit. I saw him playing with flashcards with shapes on them." Bookie pulls a card out of his coat pocket with a circle on it. "This is a circle, Kodiak. It looks a lot like the number zero, which is exactly how many wins you have against me. Enjoy your bloodfeud, Sunshine. I'm your little huckleberry." "And what about the crazy turn, my man?" "Oh my god, Cluricus! You aren't even kidding. After a turn with an empty throne the arena was ambushed by Ebenezer Frothenslosh who took the throne. Congrats to the old Slosher! Enjoy that Pappa Bear Memorial Box. You know, I actually predicted Ebenezer's return in the personal ads. I guess I can just tell when Ebenezer is about to come." Polarius steps into appearance from stage left. "I can tell when Den's wife is about to come. He turns and faces offstage. "In fact, she's about to come now." A blast of water slams into Polarius' face. It's so powerful that he has to resist being pushed backwards. Bookie has turned pale. Den's wife walks into view from stage left carrying a water hose. She giggles. "Summer fun!" Bookie laughs so hard his side hurts. "You don't even want to know what I thought just happened." Polarius grinned. "Oh, trust me. I do." Den's wife holds up her finger gun and says, "Come on, Polarius. Let's go backstage and finger bang each other." With a look that could make a nun blush, Polarius holds up his finger gun and says, "Who am I to deny a lady's request? Bang-bang, baby." Bookie applauds. "Alright folks, before we move to commercial. We would like to address the rumors that are circulating the city as word on the street is that there's going to be an appearance by a surprise manager in the next few turns right here in Jhans." The crowd begins to buzz. "I have heard names like Uncle Charlie, or Cosmo Frothenslosh to those who remember those days. Uncle Charlie, great manager, twice the man Den could ever be. Who'd like to see Charlie come back?" The crowd cheers. "I actually grew up with Charlie. It would be awesome to have him back. Other name getting dropped is Doc Steele." Sounds of anxious anticipation fill the room. "Word is that Doc is tired of Den's mouth. And, if this is true, word is Doc is bringing some Legion5 buddies because, and I quote, 'They are bored and want some easy wins against the AA.' Would having Doc Steele in the arena be great for Jhans?" Applause. "The last rumored name that we'll talk about is Mordraith. That right there is my DRC killing mate. Who wants to see NBK back in the house?" Crowd chants, "N-B-K! N-B-K!" "Remind me what NBK stands for again," Cluricus said. Bookie smiled. "Natural Born Killer. If Mordraith shows up, the gravediggers union is gonna have to hire some more employees. Hell, if ANY of the rumored managers show up it's going to be a slaughter. Den's win/loss record is going down faster than a party guest at P Diddy's house. With that said, we have a word from our sponsors and a few skits to get to tonight. And, for those who were concerned, Consortium finally got out of that well. He stayed in that hole so long I heard that he nicknamed it 'Den's Mouth,' and who hasn't been up in there. Every weekend there's a party in Den's mouth and trust me when I say this, EVERYONE is coming. See you right after this." Static. Bashur, who is obviously Assur wearing a horribly fake goatee, smiles at the camera. He clears his throat. "Hey there! I'm Bashur I'm selling my new book called 'Ten is the Only Kill Desire You Need.' It's available by calling the number below." Ultraist walks into the frame and points at Bashur. "So, you're a Delarquan now?" "No," Bashur replied smiling coyly. "I'm Bashur." "But a ten kill desire is a Delarquan thing." "It's a Bashur thing. I'm not Delarquan. I'm evil. Can't you tell by my Mirror-Mirror Universe goatee?" Ultraist chuckled. "Star Trek reference?" "Star Trek reference." Shrugging, Ultraist said, "*Bleep* it. He's not Assur." Static. For fans of Good Omens. Uncle Charlie and Azrael stand in the middle of an ancient cemetery. Fog dances along the ground thicker than thieves. Both men are clearly dressed up to be demons. Charlie sighs, "He's running late." Azrael grunted, "He'll be here." Bookie appears out of the fog dressed liked a Catholic Priest. He holds up his left hand and says, "Hail Satan." Charlie and Azrael say in unison, "Hail Satan." Azrael curiously looks Bookie up and down. "What's with the priest outfit, brother?" Bookie smiled. "You have absolutely no idea how much stuff you can get away by wearing one of these. Plus, you can get *so many* good leads in a confessional booth." Polarius walks through the cemetery with a bikini model on each arm. Smiling ear to ear, he says, "Ain't that the *bleep*'n truth," and disappears into the fog. "Enough trivial conversation," Charlie says. "We shall discuss what great work we've been doing. Just today, I tempted a man with a young maiden. In six years, his soul will belong to us." "That's nothing," Azrael replied. "Today I tempted a Freeblades' mayor with corruption. In four years, his soul will belong to us." He then turned to Bookie. "What great deed have you done, brother?" Laughing, Bookie said, "I have totally *bleep*'d with HAL and how often he updates the newsletters online." Charlie wrinkled his brow. "That doesn't sound that impressive." "Are you kidding? Do you have any idea how frustrated managers get when they don't get their newsletters." Bookie dropped his voice to a whisper, "I once heard that Doc Steele got so upset that he decimated a few arenas to the point that they had to be closed." "Doc Steele did that?" Azrael asked. Bookie shouted, "Hey, Neon! Did Doc do that?" Cut to Neon Necromancer standing in the middle of several graves. "Yeah, yeah, yeah." He quickly added, "But I helped!" "What are you doing out here, anyway, Neon?" Bookie asked. "Proving a point to Angus. He told me it was hard to raise a family. I told him *not* if they're buried close enough, it isn't." Everyone in the scene bows. "And that was your D&D/Necromancy joke of the week," Bookie says. "Now roll them d20s!" Static. The cast stands together waving to the audience. Bookie steps forward and says, "I wanna thank everybody who showed up for tonight's show. Hope everyone at home has enjoyed themselves. As they say in the movie, 'Are you not entertained?'" The crowd applauds. Bookie looks around with a confused look. "Nobody's told me what the plans are after the show. Y'all hiding stuff?" Everyone shakes their head. Bookie looks at Polarius. "Polarius, what's your plan after the show?" Polarius grins. "Muhn Ching Beaver." "WHAT?!" "Muhn Ching Beaver. It's the new Chinese Buffet in Jhans." Bookie laughs. "Okay, on that note. Bang-Bang Gang out!" Polarius walks offstage with an arm around Den's Wife. He whispers to her, "I'm gonna drive your little red corvette." "But I don't own a car," Den's Wife replied smiling mischievsouly. "I know, baby," Polarius said smiling. "I *bleep*'n know." Fade to black. ***---------*---------*---------*---------**---------*---------*---------*---------*** Cluripus skipped down the path, enjoying his alone time not having to listen to the insistent babbling of his companion Cookie. However, the path he travelled would take him to Cookie and once again he would be forced to endure the boasting and bragging, the only two things he was good at. He was to meet Cookie at the docks to see his new ship that he purchased for the journey to Niytyole Island where they hoped to start a new team after gaining as much experience in tournaments as possible. He found his friend standing on the dock, hands on his hips with a proud smile on his face. When Cookie noticed his friend arrive he greeted him with a wave and said, "Cluripus, take a look my friend, look at my dinghy." Cluripus stared at the dinghy, "It's not very big!" "It's not the size of the dinghy, it's how you use it that matters! Besides, if you don't have it in the ships, you have better have it in the slips. But, all the slips were full so I have to tie my dinghy up alongside the dock for now." Cookie remained fixated on his dinghy and as he watched a large shore bird landed on the mast, spread its wings and relieved himself all over the deck. "Oh no!" Cluripus exclaimed, "you have poop all over your dinghy." "No worries, I get poop on my dinghy all the time. Easy to remove, you just use special deck lotion and stroke it with a firm hand and the poop comes right off." The statement seemed to make sense to Cluripus, not having a dinghy of his own he was not sure how you would get the poop off. "When do we get to sail to Niytyole Island?" Cluripus asked Cookie. "We have a dinghy, small and pathetic as it may be, but we have a dinghy, but what we need is some seamen to get this dinghy moving." Cookie answered. "I believe we can find a lot of seamen down at Bookie's Brothel, it is not uncommon to find them there when they get off another vessel." Bookie's Brothel was a family business, the family was there all the time, but it never seemed to make much money. Cluripus wrinkled his face, "I heard that the seamen at the brothel are pretty salty, are you going to be comfortable with salty seamen on your dinghy?" "Of course, I would love to have my dinghy worked by salty seamen." Cookie confidently answered. "What if we cannot find any seamen, whether at the brothel or anywhere else?" asked Cluripus. "Then we ride a ferry!" answered Cookie. -- Brought to you from the desk of Den and the mighty Allied Axis SPY REPORT If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of JHANS brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Later days, D'ORKS, since BOOKIE'S BROTHEL 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 PAINFUL VIBES, whose 1-4-0 this turn dropped them by 5 into 8th. Ha! CHARMERS turned their 3-0-0 turn into a 7th place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists. Gee, I'm impressed, a 4-1-0 is nice, but don't get cocky, SUICIDAL DREAMS, the Fates teach humility, and the Fates are proud. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see BAT OUT OF HELL win a fight and gain 24 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, BAT OUT OF HELL beat CALIFORNIA and CALIFORNIA lost 21 points. You're breakin' my heart. KASIM challenged JHANS' Duelmaster for a shot at the throne. And if variety is the spice of life, JHANS may be getting bland, as SUPER SIZE ME stays top dog in the city. Lucas Lounge, humph! I've tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From JHANS' trash dumps? My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start talking.' I loved that woman. JHANS, I am losing what little hope I had in you. SECTION HATE the most avoided team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And it looks like BOOKIE'S BROTHEL avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, HERO OF JHANS was this turn's most challenged warrior. Watch that ego swell, sports fans. Now look at this. NOT DEN challenged down 21 against GODS OF UNCOOTH's GOD OF GARBAGE. What a weasel! And golly gee, NOT DEN defeated GOD OF GARBAGE. Aren't we all surprised and impressed? I notice NAME A KARDASHIAN challenging down 27 points to fight HERO OF JHANS, CHARMERS doubtless has some rotten excuse for such an insult to honor. And sorry to say, NAME A KARDASHIAN won victory over HERO OF JHANS, leaving a bad feeling with the crowd. I think exploitive snob is the term I'm looking for. EDITH THE MAUL was challenged by one of CHARMERS' warriors this turn, with MINNIE MOUSE having a lead of 19 points going into the fight. Question now is, will JHANS accept this sort of tacky behavior? MINNIE MOUSE beating EDITH THE MAUL. The insult, the....yech! I guess I can give a little credit to BRICKHOUSE of SECTION HATE for challenging up by 20 to KILL-KID FIZZLE. BRICKHOUSE won to get 105 points of recognition. Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's see if anyone's dead or dying. Whoa! I'll even buy HORKDUP a drink tonight! Anyone who can come back from the Dark Arena, I want to be on hers good side! I can't say as I'm proud to find out that BOOKIE'S BROTHEL's EUROTRASH GIRL has killed EXCESSIVE FORCE from JUSTICE. I can say I wish JUSTICE good luck in their bloodfeud. Not that I'll be buying the drinks, but I'll be glad to see THE LOVE ABOVE and MEMPHIS MAFIA II at Lucas Lounge tonight celebrating their bloodfeud victory over GENGHIS KHAN. It's about time SUFFERING got beat for picking on warriors like ANGEL OF REFUSE. Bravo, GODS OF UNCOOTH. See you at Lucas Lounge. 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. Phlllt! Just had to do that before I leave the fine city of JHANS. I feel much better now.

I promise to use Tide in my wash. -- The Consortium (still wishing Clemson had made the Final Four) Loved the 5 Hail Mary's and two leads ............. -- T.C. Den, tsk, tsk. Of course I write personals and DM Columns in many other arenas. Little gal, perhaps you are simply not intelligent enough to understand who wrote them? Or, perhaps your reading skills are quite low? I feel sorry for you, Bimbo. -- The Consortium King D'Orc -- DATDAMNORC is passing me off. -- Gentleben Den -- You couldn't figure it out? I've been there for over two years now. I fight Cruel Nights, you know, the team with the Duelmaster! -- Kodiak Consortium -- I don't need to join an alliance, but I will certainly work with them to end Bookie's little adventure. Tell me Mr. Fairplay, what is the difference between Bookie and Den? The only difference I see is that one flatters you and the other does not. Is there a difference I did not see? -- Kodiak Bookie -- Funny, even my young warriors are giving your experienced warriors all they can handle. Rest assured crybaby, I will have my revenge. After you enjoy a good cry, come find me, my team is the one looking at you. -- Kodiak Den -- My apologies for my absence but I'm back in this country now! I know what you mean, seems as though Bookie just plagiarizes fifty percent of what he writes from the same episode of AEW wrestling I saw a week before or a junior high locker room wall. That "I am the devil," storyline was stupid the *first* time I saw it, and this guy doesn't have the charisma to pull it off... He doesn't even seem to have the originality to say things generically... If he had said "Redneck gun owners for life! Bay, bay..." then, as a Texan, I would've have went outside to fire recklessly in the air a couple shots ala Yosemite Sam! -- T-A Kodiak -- Welcome to Jhans! I hope you will join us in our Bounty on Bookie race! Just as soon as he names his teams... he seems to use a lot of words just few about his teams... Most managers are proud to name their teams but Bookie thinks it's a puzzle to be figured out... We've added two published works from Bookie in our prize package: The first is Bookie's: Instructions for Fingerpainting," which as you know has the most famously amusing line in literature: "Page 4 Step Four: Clean-up is for doodie-heads!" ... to my 5-year old newphew it's like the bible! The second is his current masterpiece: "Jhans: How to raise a Duel arena to 19 TPS and be proud!" -- T-A, Illusion & Justice Philthy Phil -- Congrats on 3-turn champion! ... And wish you future luck! -- T-A Den -- You know that you can't beat me in a fair kill race! Give it up! -- T-A Wow, the most popular girl in Jhans! I haven't had this many guys chasing me like that since I won the bikini contest in 1988 :) -- Miss Daytona Cookie -- You call Ultrawaist a "legend"? A legend of what? The only thing that big- waisted idiot has ever done that is noteworthy is getting kicked out of OCB for overeating. It and its sidekick Lady Mordraith are worse snowflakes than you. Over twenty years ago I spent a single day on their little Doom Corps site, getting banned quickly because they can dish it out, but cannot take it. Doesn't surprise me that you love them, you are the same, you love giving it out, but cry foul when it is given back to you. You are correct about one thing, I am indeed not half the man that Ultrawaist is, I would have to weigh in at over 300 pounds to be half of that. Birds of a feather flock together, loser. -- Den Consodomite -- Yeah, start a team here old man, put some of your remaining energy into filling out strategy sheets instead of the same tired PA's turn after turn. See how long before you get a graduate out of here, but I'm sure you will replace the team over a dozen times like you had to in Niytyole Island. You've got nothing and are scared to prove it. -- Den Cookie -- Watching you brag about your record is like watching the leper with the most fingers brag about them. Tell you what skippy, every active team I have is over 50% except one, and that is done while being challenged over 50% of the time and talking crap to everyone in the arena. You are proud of what you have while kissing up to anyone that bothers to listen to you. Wow, impressive, almost as impressive as your boyfriend Consodmite bragging about graduating warriors from empty arenas. Maybe he can show you his special "pat your own back" maneuver that he practices daily. Last question, is there anyone you won't beg to be on your "team" and fight against the big scary Den? -- Den Tyrant-Apex -- You are correct, if we quit fighting in this cesspool, the arena would be down to 12 active teams, with a quarter of those being Cookie and his little friend. His life's work would be destroyed, so simple. Eventually he would be writing to himself week after week. Who would be around to hear him brag about being a "published author" or how he is clever by plagiarizing old jokes and facebook memes and calling it "clever wordplay." I guess with his "clever wordplay" he could be President of Harvard. -- Den Philthy -- Yet another great record against the published author, proving why you are the 9th in Command of the mighty Allied Axis! -- Den LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS HORKDUP butchered KOBOLD ENFORCER in a crowd pleasing 1 minute Dark Arena fight.
