MFM Stereo 92.6 is proud to announce that the latest addition to
the MFM programme line-up for 2000 is none other Leyton Smith,
a.k.a. The Blunted Stuntman (0f 206 fame).

Leyton has relocated to Cape Town, after having spent several
years working in a record store in Joburg, and as a rep for Tic Tic
Bang.

Leyton started to DJ at Wings Beat Bar in Braamfontein in 1995,
and after a while joined up with a few of his colleagues to evolve
into what is now known as the 206 sensation.

As far as 206 Cape Town goes, Leyton professes to be "involved
with everything, except the money".

Playing as The Blunted Stuntman, Leyton will present a
combination of 206 funk on MFM, Wednesdays on the Outer Limits
from midnight to 2 am.

eish joe...

your mama...
is so fat you gotta roll her ass in flour to find the wetspot..

there was a man from Teltoota
he loves to ride on his scooter
his favourite trick - is to stand on his prick..
and use his ass as a hooter.

two old maids from Fordham
went for a walk out of boredom
on the way back - a sex maniac
lapsed out from a bush... and ignored 'em.

there once was a guy from Farsel
he wrapped something in a parcel.
sent it to the king of Spain, with a letter saying...
it came from his grandfather's asshole.
