Threats from the leaflet man

Back in the last days of the old site we re-visited the love-lorn leafletter looking for long ago lust.

As there was an e-mail address on the leaflet I thought I’d email it and ask our protagonist if he’d like to set the record straight given all the nasty theories about him.

G’day.

Your flier has reached Urban Myth status in Canberra,

Any chance you want to put the record straight?

At RiotACT we’d love to give your side of the story a run

Well to my joy I got back a reply a couple of days ago. But it’s on the strange side. certainly terse…

why would anyone really care – i hardly think it would make a good story. Might even get you fired!

So I just wanted to say to john Tom or mavtoc7, we do care, we really do care. But if I lose my job tommorrow I’ll know who to thank.

Damn, sounds abit desperate.

FYI, Babylon is now known as Sultans nightclub, it is basically upstairs quatros (same setup as ICBM/Insomnia) My bet is this guy isnt exactly a fabio. he scored a shag with this bird, now hes trying to track her down because nobody has shagged him since…. its amazing how far abit of vodka and ketomine can get you (im joking about that last ingredient)

But seriously, this guy sounds abit creepy if you ask me.. he should have saved his money on the leaflets. and instead, headed out to every club in canberra every weekend, thursday, friday, saturday and im sure hes bound to run into her again.

99 was a long time ago. this girl may have jumped citys for all we know.

I think this guy needs to get over it personally. theres been an influx of skanks into civic lately, he should go out more

I really don’t care about what is his now increasingly embarassing public experience

(oh wait, I forgot I’m supposed to be Spitfire3 now, not just S3)

Sounds to me like the flier idea failed to have the desired result for poor old mavtoc7 and now he’s all jaded and doesn’t want to talk about it.

Seems like this guy lives in a stranger reality than the rest of us.
