Nativity Plays
Every year the little kids at schools all over get to put on a play. Often it's christmas themed, but the key thing is that everyone gets a part, whether it's Snowflake #12 or Mary or Grendel (yes, really).
Personally I played a 'Rich Husband' who refused to buy matches from some scabby street urchin. Never did see her again...
Who or what did you get to be? And what did you have to wear?

I'm not bitter...
Growing up in a small village naturally I attended the small village school, full of small-minded bigoted teachers... i wasn't taught by someone who didn't have white skin until secondary school.
Now what's interesting about the final school play i was in (Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book") is the stereotyping... most of it racial.
My rather rotund friend Adam was given the part of Baloo the bear because of his bear-like size and love of honey.
An Effeminate tosser called Joe was Kaa the snake because of his high voice.
A seehk fella by the name of Hardeep was given the much coveted part of Mowgli (Which wasn't shared with another child!), and this was based on the cold hard fact that he had 8 years worth of hair hanging from his head and was undoubtedly from asia!
Lastly King Louie (The Orangutan King of the Monkeys) was given to a tit I Despised called Ore... he was from africa...
Now my part was Father Wolf and to keep me shut up about the shitty size of it i was told that i was the most important character because if it weren't for me then i wouldn't have found an abandoned mowgli and none of the play would have happened...
Now i realise it was a sugar coated way of saying you haven't a likeness to a good jungle character so deal with it.
Racist shitewanks!
