I was helping CKMS fight for its life.
On the eighth day of Christmas My Recasting Choice would be
STRIPE - Ebenezer Scrooge – The Meanest Gremlin!
Ruby Deagle – Marley’s Ghost (re: Billy’s Dog Barney) – “He'll get what he deserves, a slow painful death. Maybe I'll put him in my spin-drier on high heat”. … hmmm … I’ll get you and your little dog too!
Grandfather - Ghost of Christmas Past – “You do with mugwai what your society... has done with all of nature's gifts. You do not understand.”
Gizmo - Ghost of Christmas Present – “ Bright Light, Bright Light…“ (Always happy Gizmo croons his joyful Mugwai song!)
Brain Gremlin – Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come – “Now, bear in mind, none of us has been in New York before. There are the Broadway shows - we'll have to find out how to get tickets.”
Bob Kratchit – Billy Peltzer – spends both movies trying to contain Gremlin epidemic and stop Stripe and Brain.
Mrs Kratchit – Kate Beringer – Helps Billy. “Billy, if we get through today alive, you're in big trouble.”
Mrs Dilber – Lynn Peltzer – Gizmo and COMPANY make one helluva mess and she always has to clean it up.
Old Fezziwig – Grandpa Fred
Eight Eating and rapidly multiplying Mugwai, attacking Seven Seething Fang Meisters feeding on six sit com siblings fighting over five bowls of lasagna for four Siamese shadows, scaring three dog-blasted-ornery-no-acount-long-eared-varmaints, Two bottles of Prozac and Tony Soprano joined by Yosemite Sam trying to whack the flea-bitten Tribble drinking lots of Romulan Ale in the Tree.
But during next The Four Days... Cindy Brady spills water on Mugwai who multiply and attack mutating Tribbles while feasting on Garfield’s lasagne. Tony Soprano, out of Prozac, at his wit's end, WHACKS everyone.
The PARTRIDGE calls 911.
