Would Charles Dickens be rolling in his grave at this none-too-serious riff on one of his best-loved stories? Possibly, but I like to think he'd save his ire for whatever schmuck at the Wall Street Journal who has to write an essay every year about this time about how Ebenezer Scrooge was a better person before he was reformed.Sociopolitical rant aside, just as the word Scrooge has come to mean a bitter miser, I'm sure that with this story, pulling a vicious, short-sighted and disgusting prank while intoxicated will come to be known as "Coopering".Note: this story is not to be confused with the movie "Cooper's Christmas", where you get to see Kids In The Hall alum Dave Foley's penis.The dedication was pretty good, too.
