Answer 1

A CHRISTMAS CAROL

Producer/director/writer Portfolio Bandaras was pitching his idea for another remake of “A CHRISTMAS CAROL,” to the heads of XYZ Studio. They were skeptical because it had been done so many times before, but Portfolio had been so successful in the past they were still anxious to hear what he had to say. He had a somewhat unusual cast in mind: BELA LUGOSI for the Ghost of Christmas Past; his girlfriend, BARBARA ANN, for the Ghost of Christmas Present; and GROVER of Sesame Street for the Ghost of Christmas Future.

Freddie Finklestein, the studio attorney protested, “Lugosi is dead. You can’t use him.” Portfolio answered, “Ah! But, I believe we can. You’ve seen the commercials with Fred Astaire dancing with a mop. Footage from some of his films was computerized and when he was dancing with a prop, such as a coat rack, they just substituted a mop. I think we can get the rights to Lugosi from his estate, and then we can have him do whatever the role calls for.”

Finklestein again protested, “Your girlfriend, Barbara Ann, is not a professional actress. She has no experience. How can she play the part?” Again, Portfolio had the perfect answer; “Barbara Ann’s daddy is a Texas oil multimillionaire, and he promises to back the film if she appears in a major role. He wants to jump-start her career.”

Finklestein responded, “Portfolio, you’ve made some compelling arguments to cast Lugosi and Barbara Ann, but how can you possibly suggest Grover from Sesame Street as the Ghost of Christmas Future?” Portfolio said, “Grover has had experience playing “Super Grover,” and since the Ghost of Christmas Future needs to fly, he would be perfect. Think about it. His plush coat is OCEAN BLUE and ultra soft--gotta love him!!! The merchandising potential for Grover dolls and tee shirts should have all of you drooling at the prospects. He already has a built-in fan base. Of course, again we’d need to get licensing to use him, but if we can’t work it out, we can figure that out later. CASPER, the friendly Ghost, would be a possibility. What do you say? Do we have a deal?”

Caesar Von Caesar, the President of XYZ, answered, “We’ll need to kick your ideas around a bit before we are ready to commit. But, you have only suggested the Ghost actors. What about the rest of the cast--the leading man, for instance?”

“I was sort of thinking about adding ‘actor’ to my resume, as a matter of fact,” answered Portfolio. Caesar Von Caesar snorted, “Why am I not surprised?”

Answer 2

I will be with my (2) Surfer Girl in Hawaii for Christmas this year. As much as I love a (4) White Christmas in New England, being with her under the (1) azure blue sky of Hawaii will be a wonderful treat. It would never have been possible if not for the kindness of my old high-school buddy, (3) Matt LeBlanc. He heard I was bringing surfer girl to our home town, Newton, MA, in December. He thought I had lost my mind. If she gets one look at this town in the winter, you will never see her again," he laughed. Then he offered to send me to Hawaii for Christmas on his dime. So I'm on my way to a wonderful Hawaiian Christmas.

Answer 3

I was standing on the corner feeling a little "blue" when "The Little Old Lady from Pasadena" went screaming past in her "James Dean" type car! She had a wild look on her face as her "blue" hair streamed out behind her, caught in the wind of the fast flying automobile. As she quickly drove out of sight I could faintly make out her manic laugh as she sang, "Grandma got run over by a reindeer"!


Hows Dat???

WOULDN'T IT BE NICE to have HUGH LARIE from the television hit series, House perform the Christmas Cantata this year? I'd love to hear him sing SILENT NIGHT dressed in a BABY BLUE angles robe. It would match his eyes.
