The following is an official letter of protest and notice of intent to sue from the Lee Brothers appointed counsel, Paul Swanson.
The Lee Bros are deeply saddened by the vicious allegations regarding their involvement with the Battle of the Blades. They were involved in some transactions consummated with respect to the commerce of the event but those activities did not involve getting on the ice either in person or in costume.
Upon further investigations into the allegations, we have now gathered evidence and in fact, have obtained written statements from bystanders that the the couple spotted on ice were in fact "two males attempting to look oriental and may have been able to pulled it off if not for the female's wig continuously slipping to reveal a rather oversized, grotesque and folliclely-challenged cranium. The contestants were apparently chased out of the building and made a get-away in a older model Porsche.
Gordon "Bowling Boy" Lee had this to say "This is how rumours get started. Look at our combined history, do you think we'd know what to do on the ice if there isn't a guy in a mask to run into? Furthermore, anything that requires skating backwards is outta my league, I leave that to defencemen and the less masculine of men."
Brother Eugene adds "All I know is that Mr. Chasse and Goon Boy "Ned" purchased front row tickets from us right next to the judges. We've had our people review video tape from the show and we can't see them in those seats. We gave the the TNHL discount and they sold them to a guy in a bright orange jumpsuit with the ugliest date ever. You think we're going to give them that discount again? Not a chance!"
Herewith and forthwith we are demanding a complete and full retraction (and removal of) the allegations made public in Mr. Shmotz's column on this website, full restitution for personal and emotional damage for both Lee brothers , and the admission by Mr. Chasse that he does indeed enjoy wearing women's clothing if only to feel the breezes through his thighs.
Without Prejudice,
Paul Swanson,
Official Council for the Lee Brothers,
aka Lawyer Boy, aka Former Goon Boy
