It Worked Once Before…

For once, it's cool to be a mascot.

Dear Ms. Pamela Anderson,

I would like to thank you for partnering with my Dad, Geoff Courtnall, to build eco-friendly condos. Dad had to retire because of a concussion so he's not always good with writing letters. I usually do it for him. We're together all the time since he's my coach with the Victoria Grizzlies. Did I mention I was drafted last year? Yeah, I'm kind of a big deal.

It's cool and stuff that you are working with my Dad. Maybe this summer you can visit us at our house. We've got a pool. And a hot tub. Think about it. I can be verrrry persuasive.

In case you're not aware, Larry Pleau admitted to re-signing Geoff Courtnall after receiving this handwritten note from Courtnall's sons.

Sincerely,

Justin Courtnall

Wow… checking out the Grizzlies’ site, I recognized the names of Len Barrie, Victor Gervais, and Jackson Penney from when I lived in Portland (1988-90) and had season tickets to the Winter Hawks. All three of those guys used to play for WHL teams; Penney in Spokane, Gervais in Seattle with the Thunderchickens, and Barrie in Kamloops.

We saw Olaf Kolzig, Joe Sakic, Byron Dafoe, and a host of other guys play as juniors. Good times. Shout-out to all who used to hang out with my brothers and I in Section 12 at the Memorial Colisuem.

Strangely enough, this is why we decided to re-sign Chris Gift when his contract was up with the paper.

Of course, Gift doesn’t have any children and the letter was written by a waifish Laotian boy, but it was all pretty similar.

Except the picture, I guess. The picture was wayyyyy different.

As I wrote to Brad Lee about the article, any chance Pamela Anderson has a clue what “vetted” means? I’d bet the Answer House she thinks it has to do with anal.

Dear Mr. Pleau:

We like St. Louis and wouldn’t mind staying here, but all of my neighbors who love the Blues really liked the Southern vacation Dad went on last March and April. One of our neighbors, Milo, even decided to shell out money to be a season ticket holder because of Dad’s missionary journey.

Now that Dad has reached his milestone, we think it might be better for him and us to see some other part of the country, like the Eastern Conference. Thank you so much for everything.

Sincerely,

Matthew, Braeden, and Taryn
