An open letter to CvilleFencer

[GypsyScot]

Dear Cville, (We have known each other for almost a year now, I think its okay to be informal)

As previously stated you have been an acquaintance of mine now for the better part of a year and I think knowing you has bought me some reputation when in the Charlottesville area. Like the time when I dropped your name to those Vietnamese gangsters and they left me alone after I stole their money during that poker game. Or how you used your magic frosty breath and put out that fire when I was trapped in that burning building. People come up to me on the street often and ask "Hey GypsyScot, you know CvilleFencer! Is it true he won the Korean War with an Epee?" And of course as always I reply with "Who are you and how'd you get into my sock drawer?!"

So think of my surprise today while going through my busy season exchange pile, as I do on Mondays from September to April. There on top were two huge boxes, and in the oddly shaped mostly flat box was a roll bag, now this is not unusual as most vendors know Cville loves to try new things. But what got me was as I went through it checking it for errant parts or maybe, rather hopefully, a wad of cash; there it was sitting there looking up at me calling out to my eyes with its shiny black and blue label. Cville had sent me a small can of Axe deoderant. I'm hurt, really... I shower daily, I wear Old Sprice around the office, my friends have never said anything, I mean really where do you get off.

I'll see you in hell,
GypsyScot

ps. you smell

You'll be surprised how often Cville gets letters that end this way.

I don't know if this is serious or not...

I wear Old Sprice around the office...

He did you a favour -- only old men wear Old Spice. Think granddads.

For further evidence I have attached an image of the offending article.

I think he sends that to All the sabrists he knows, don't take it so personally! In fact, you can probably send it back to him, as I understand he fenced (well, ok, he held an electrified sabre in his hand and waved it around) in a tournament just the other day!

Or perhaps it was just a 'wee gifty'...or a token of esteem (as in you handle your sabre like an axe)?

[pokey]

Ah, but who's to say that you aren't trying to be crafty? Maybe you bought it yourself, took a picture, and attempted to pin your decision to switch deodorant on Cville?

Or even more tin-foil hat, there was no package at all. Maybe you're just announcing to the forum that you wear Axe so you can kick back and benefit from the Axe Effect.
