Okay.. Okay I'm late for the 12 Days of A Christmas Carol just like last year. I was making rather merry... and HEY !!! – I have to have some downtime too ya know.
Meeee - Ow!
My four cats forced me to write this.
On the fifth day of Christmas my Recasting Choice would be….
Garfield - Ebenezer Scrooge – “All right, wise guy, I got another game for ya. It's called the "My Claw In Your Butt" game. Now let me out!”
Heathcliff - Marley’s Ghost – A Bad Tempered Orange 80’s No Nonsense Tabby
Old Deuteronomy - Ghost of Christmas Past – “Old Deuteronomy's lived a long time. He's a cat who has lived many lives in succession…” (just The Cat to teach Garfield some new human tricks)
The Cheshire Cat – Ghost of Christmas Present – (True. He's quite mad but he does have amazing insight into things…) – “You’ve picked up a bit of an attitude. Still curious and willing to learn I hope?”
Mr. Bigglesworth – Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come - “That makes me angry and when Dr. Evil gets angry, Mr. Bigglesworth gets upset, and when Mr.Bigglesworth gets upset, people DIE.”
Top Cat – Bob Kratchit – T.C is always trying to get ahead and will do anything to make a buck.
Penelope – Mrs. Kratchit - Pepe Le Peu’s unfortunate amour. She can never catch a break. – “Le Meu.. Le Sigh…
Nermal - Tiny Tim - (He is very small…)
Mrs. Dilber – Grizzabella – “You see the border of her coat is torn and stained with sand and you see the corner of her eye twist like a crooked pin.”
Old Fuzzywig – Bagpuss - “The Most Important, The Most Beautiful, The Most Magical... saggy old cloth cat in the whole wide world.”
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 Romulan Ale in theTree.
