stick your dickens

"If you asked many people today under 30 to name five Dickens novels, they probably couldn't. We are going to bring Dickens to life.” Ross Hutchins, manager, Dickens World (just opened Chatham theme park)....

(And I'll be highly, highly disappointed if they don't include the Children's FunHouse Sweatshop and the Flume Ride [or should I say Phlegm Ride] through a tuberculoric brechea tube mock-up)....

OK, so, I challenge everyone to try.
Ok. 5 Dickens novels. Here goes!

1. Um, Hard Times
2. Nicholas Nickleby
3. David Copperfield
4. Great Extirpations
5. Um, Uh… Grumblebee Gramblebum….

I'll raise you: A Tail of two Kitties, and A Christmas Peril...hm... Oliver Crisp... yeah... must be a sign that I'm still under 30.

I wonder if they're gonna have "Pip and Ms. Havisham's Wild Ride"

I wish I could forget the names of the three Dickens novels I've had to read. Those poor children...and I don't mean Oliver.

You forgot about the great man's foray into erotica: "A Sale of Two Titties"
