Nativity PlaysEvery 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?

mumble mumble mumble BLOOOOOOO!If you don't understand the title of this post, you are a fortunate person and have clearly never had to be in the choir for Joseph and His Technicolour Dreamcoat.
I image those of us who have had this miserable pleasure are all smirking, but for those who don't, allow me elucidate:
There is a song, the dullest song in this dull musical,which forces a choir of miserable brats (legs crossed on the hard floor and going numb of course) to sing the many, many hues of said wonderous coat. Including such shades as Ochre, Russet, Azure and Olive. No, really.
What are the chances of any choir remembering that crap, if the nazi teacher won't let you use the lyrics on the Big Day?
Its not like they are on the actual coat that 'Joseph' is sporting, on account of it being a reject from the 1970's and probably still smelling of hemp. Invaribly, the *true* technicolour song therefore goes:
It was red and yellow and green and brown
And scarlet and black and ochre? and mumble?
(only the anal ones are still singing now)
And mumble and mumble and mumble and mumble
And mumble and mumble and mumble and mumble
And mumble and mumble and mumble and mumble
And BLUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEE
For true authenticity, on striking the word 'blue', the choir should all errupt with relief and sound like the mating call of a rhino.
If that does not occur, its not a real production of Joseph and his Technicolour Dreamcoat.
