A Diabetic Christmas Carol

There is something that Sam Burns and I have in common; We're both creative geniuses. As proof, I offer you this instance of our late night/early morning brainstorming:

Andrew says:
Bah!

Andrew says:
Humbug!

Sam is so chilly. says:
hehehe

Sam is so chilly. says:
humbug always makes me thinks of little butterscotch candies

Andrew says:
Me too! I wonder what Scrooge was really talking about?

Sam is so chilly. says:
bah, butterscotch candies!

Sam is so chilly. says:
it just doesn't have the same effect.

Andrew says:
Perhaps he just really liked humbugs, and he was calling for one every time he got upset.

Sam is so chilly. says:
it's possible!

Sam is so chilly. says:
maybe all he needed was some sugar

Sam is so chilly. says:
or maybe he was diabetic, and he couldn't have sugar, and that's why he was so cranky

So clearly our next step was to create the film project "A Diabetic Christmas Carol." As Sam put it, "It's like Charles Dickens meets Willy Wonka!" We figure the story will be basicaly the same, but instead of hoarding money he hoards Hershey bars. And instead of dreaming the ghosts, Scrooge goes into diabetic shock. And when he wakes up he tells the newspaper boy to "run to the drug store and buy the biggest Insulin shot you can carry!"

So here is our genius casting:

Ebenezer Scrooge...Tom Hanks


We figure he can bring the same compassion and understanding to Diabetes as he did to AIDS in Philidelphia.

Tiny Tim...Dakota Fanning


Really, who else?

The Ghost of Christmas Future...Snoop Dogg


It's pretty self-evident that this man is terrifying.

Jacob Marley...Tom Waits


We'll figure out the rest later (ie/ when it's not very late for Sam and very early for me).
