Ultra-condensed classics. Ohyes. Bask in the glory, my children. Bask.
Also, would like to see you try to write one of these babies. Seriously - if you feel so inclined, pick a book, compress it in this style, and show it off in this here thread.

PS - If you haven't read ANY of the books displayed at the above link... fix it. Now.

Spiffy.

This one's hysterical...

Ebenezer Scrooge:
Bah, humbug. You'll work thirty-eight hours on Christmas Day, keep the heat at five degrees, and like it.

Ghost of Jacob Marley:
Ebenezer Scrooge, three ghosts of Christmas will come and tell you you're mean.

Three Ghosts of Christmas:
You're mean.

Ebenezer Scrooge:
At last, I have seen the light. Let's dance in the streets. Have some money.

"Lobotomy time for you, mister." evil
