Dear Stan,

Great talking with you today at the store. Please accept this email as confirmation of my order for equipment and supplies for the end-of-season victory parade for the Black Aces Hockey Club. Here’s the order again:

• 2 extra long flatbed trailers
• 3 bouncy castles filled with champagne-flavoured foam
• 6 stripper poles (2 red, 2 silver, 2 gold)
• 12 exotic dancers (6 plus-sized, 6 in regular skank-size)
• 12 cases of Dom Perignon on ice
• 1 generator truck, to power the equipment and lights for our special musical guests U2
• 100 dozen black roses (for the Aces to hand out to the ladies on the parade route)
• 10 fog machines
• 2 complete laser lighting rigs
• 1 suckling pig, roasting on a spit
• 8 drones with 3D high-definition video cameras to record the parade

If you could talk to your connection in the Canadian Air Force about that flyover that would be great. I’ll see if we have it in the budget.

Regards,

Aubrey

• 1 extra long flatbed trailer, 1 standard length
• 2 bouncy castles filled with Gillette foamy shave cream
• 3 stripper poles (1 red, 1 silver, 1 gold)
• 6 exotic dancers (all plus-sized)
• 12 cases of Baby Duck
• 1 generator truck, to power the equipment and lights for our special musical guests Nickelback
• 100 10 dozen black roses (for the Aces to hand out to the ladies on the parade route)
• 10 pounds of dry ice and laundry tub
• 2 20’ strings of LED Christmas lights
• 1 honey glazed ham, in the tin
• 8 drones 1 Ryerson grad with a GoPro, on a bicycle, to record the parade

Thanks bro,

Aubrey

Yo, Stan, ‘sup?

You know that order I placed a while back, the one I made the changes to? I think I need to make a couple more. I swear this is my final update. The Aces are as good as gold to win the COTHL again this year. Here we go:

• 2 extra long flatbed trailers
• 3 bouncy castles filled with champagne-flavoured foam and condoms
• 3 8 stripper poles (4 black, 2 silver, 2 gold)
• 6 12 exotic dancers (6 plus-sized, 3 in regular skank-size, 3 ‘little people’)
• 15 cases of Crystal on ice, bitch
• 2 generator trucks, to power the equipment and lights for our special musical guests U2, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and very special guest Adele.
• 100 dozen black roses (for the Aces to hand out to the ladies on the parade route)
• 100 dozen red roses (for Adele, it's in her rider)
• 4 white Bengal tiger cubs
• 10 fog machines
• 3 wind machines
• 2 bubble machines
• 2 complete laser lighting rigs
• 6 t-shirt cannons, each loaded with 25 Black Aces T-shirts
• 1 complete cow, roasting on a spit
• 1 10’ tall chocolate fountain filled with dark chocolate and black smarties (I mean it, no other colours. I don’t want to see any of those shitty yellow smarties in there, Stan)
• 8 drones with 3D high-definition video cameras to broadcast the parade live to satellite
• A solid gold throne with the number “4” written on it in diamonds. With a velvet seat.

That should do it. Go Aces!

• 1 exotic dancer
• 1 case of Grey Goose vodka

• 2 dozen red roses (for the Aces’ #1 fan, Zamboni Girl)
• 10 packs of Marlborough lights + 2 bic lighters (also for Zamboni Girl)
• 3 hand-held Japanese paper fans (also for Zamboni Girl)
• 1 autographed photo of Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys
• 1 green laser pointer for each player on the Aces
• 25 Black Aces T-shirts
• 8 large pizzas from Ferro’s
• 10 boxes of black Smarties, each with a white number 4 on it
• 1 3rd year OCAD fine arts student to post photos of the parade on Instagram
• 1 La-Z-Boy sofa with black throw cushions embossed the numbers 1 through 4 on one side, and 2013 through 2016 on the other.

That should do it. I’ll drop by the store with the team credit card next week, Stan.

Cheers,

Aubrey
