John aka Captain Blaxland.
The Captain was the first messenger that I met in Sydney. He has been shuffling peoples packages and other miscellaneous stuff around the mean streets of Sydney since '97. A wise and wary veteran of the messenger community, and a Surly 1x1 between his legs, aren't the only reasons for The Captain being selected. Ok, yes they are so lets just get to the Q&A.
Co2W: Cats or Dogs?
CB: Reptiles! Although, Johnny does have a dog, he also has an impressive reptilian collection, the kind of creepy crawly slithering type things that most people tend to shy away from.
Co2W: What's the most obscure item you have ever delivered in your career as a bicycle messenger?
CB: A blow-up doll,...inflated.
Co2W: Where did the name Captain Blaxland come from?
CB: That s the town in the Blue Mountains in which I dwell.
Co2W: Smooth or Creamy?
CB: You askin' me about peanut butter? What the fuck are you askin me about peanut butter for mate?!!
The Captain walked away with a longneck outa my bag as his ROTD prize. He wanted my Surly socks, but they are my last pair and have a hole in the toe!!!
