A day, and many more ago, there lived a virgin boy who lived in a deep forest. His name was Kurton Scrooge. One day, while playing with his friends, he was embarrassed beyond believe when his friends made fun of him for being so gassy. “You stink, loser!” shouted his friends.
Oh, it wasn’t Kurton’s fault, for you see, he was adopted by tree-dwelling squirrels and when you’re a squirrel, you pretty much have to eat nuts all day. Too many nuts would make anyone gassy. He promised himself that he/she/it would make fools out of all his friends by accumulating enough gold, in chunky nugget form, to buy magnificent food, including much shrimp cocktail, and perhaps some breath freshener, and becoming gas-free.
For years he looked under every rock and spied the running brook for sparkles of gold. Time was good to Kurton Scrooge for he amassed quite a sizable pile of gold. His mother and father, now very old, well, four actually, but that’s really old in squirrel years, … pleaded with him to stop chasing sheep and make up with his friends. They said, “Use that money to treat your friends to ice cream with nuts on top and breath fresheners, and they will feel sorrowful that they laughed at you many dreams ago.”
“Have you people gone bonkers from all the nuts you’ve consumed over the years?” Kurton Scrooge cried out. “I don’t need friends as long as I have my gold!” That night was Christmas Eve and as Kurton Scrooge fell fast asleep inside a hollowed out stump, a spirit chucked a Frisbee upside his head and he awoke. See first pic. “What the?” Kurton Scrooge muttered. “I am the ghost of Christmas past and I am here to change your mind.” shouted the spirit. “Change my mind?” Kurton asked? “What do you know about changing underwear because that’s what I really need help with? I’ve had this pair on for like 3 years now.” Kurton confessed.
“Silence, Kurton Scrooge!” barked the metal-headed ghost. Kurton crapped his pants then asked, “How did you know my name?“ “It’s right there on the nametag pinned to your shirt.” the penis-challenged ghost said, and then he chuckled. “Thanks a lot, Mom!” Kurton remarked. “Kurton Scrooge, your friends didn’t mean you any harm. They were mere boys, as you were, back then. Let me take you back to the day they laughed at you.” “Can it wait until Teletubbies is over?” asked Kurton. “Teletubbies? Uhhhh, hmmm. Look, I need to get going,” said the spirit, “but you shall be visited by 2 more spirits tonight; the ghost of Christmas present, and Christmas future. They’ll be arriving on different buses an hour apart.”
As Kurton Scrooge fell back to sleep, he dreamt of various ways to pose sheep; especially ways which involved Teletubbies. Suddenly, Kurton was awakened by a strange feeling “down there.” No, not his naughty bits, but his mouth. Sliming along Kurton’s mouth was a Hagfish; the ghost of Christmas present. See second pic. “Dude, that’s gross!” shouted Kurton Scrooge. “Did you have to slime all over my mouth like that?”
“Kurton Scrooge,” uttered the slimy ghost, “I want to show you just how kind and thoughtful your friends have become. Come with me.” “But you can’t even walk. Look at you, you’re a fish or something.” said Kurton. “Oh, right. I forgot that this was a low-budget story.” stated the Christmas ghost. “And I see that you’re busy watching Teletubbies anyway. Maybe I’ll just lie over here and rot next to where you sleep at night. Don’t mind me; I’ll be over here rotting away. Don’t give me a second thought; I’ll just be, here, rotting…stinking up the place…”
Kurton fell back asleep for he’d seen that same Teletubbies episode like 18 times already. As the slimy ghost of Christmas present rotted, the wind began to pick up. The trees began to rustle and dark clouds moved across the sky. Suddenly there was a crack of thunder and a single light beamed down from the sky to highlight, Timmy, the ghost of Christmas future. See third pic. Kurton Scrooge jumped up and said, “You must be the ghost of Christmas future whose presence was foretold to me. Oh, sinister-looking spirit, I fear your presence most of all for, …well, just look at you. I mean, crap!! What’s with the teeth, the wrist blades, and that Captain Morgan pose?”
“You know what? Screw this. I’m going to take my friends out tomorrow and we’ll party like it’s 1999. Wait, that was like 10 years ago. Anyway, I’m just trying to get a good night’s sleep and you guys keep waking me up and it’s getting really old. So, you know what? You win, okay?! I’ll take my friends out to a nice, fancy restaurant tomorrow; like McDonalds or something.”
The ghost of Christmas future nodded in agreement. Or maybe he was just trying to catch flies with his mouth. What the hell do I know? The next day, Kurton Scrooge was as good as his word. He took all of his friends out to McDonalds and they all got Happy Meals with lame toys inside. Afterwards, they went back to Kurton’s stump and watched a 13-hour marathon of the Teletubbies. It was a great day; a great, gassy day, indeed.
The End
