    I was a dead alien in our primary schools’ production of Men In Black.

    My role was to go limp in a chair and let one of my classmates mockingly wave my corpse limbs around in lieu of dancing.

    In high school, I was in a production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream (I was act 2 open fairy/Peasblossom) and the absolute best part was the play in a play, Wall spoke her lines and flapped off stage like an enormous bat, funniest part of the whole play.

    So she should dress up like Jim Morrison? Odd for a nativity scene but whatever.

    In my elementary school play of Cinderella. I was cast as a pile of animated clothes. My role was to lay still and then suddenly spin around like one of those spinning brushes in a carwash and flail off the stage.

        Yeah I tripped, knocked a stage light over, and burned everything to the ground. I was the only survivor.

        Was called the “Tragic Cinderella Sizzler” by local newspapers.

          Are you sure that you’re remembering this right?

          I find it hard to believe that the newspaper didn’t come up with a headline based on calling her “Cinders”.

          The military budget is 36x bigger than NASA.

          Mars could be the 51st state if the US were not so war hungry.

            Mars colonizing is not really a useful idea, it’s technically somewhat possible but there isn’t a lot to gain from it.

            Instead, keeping the earth habitable would be much more useful.

              Yes, there are a lot of better things we could be spending the enormous military budget on.

              I chose NASA because it’s the closest to military spending while still being peaceful.

        There’s actually a Jesus Christ Superstar parody told from the view of the innkeeper (featuring The Mighty Boosh’s Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt, Julia Davis, Rich Fulcher, Matt Lucas, Matt Berry and Richard Ayoade):

        Take some liberties: for one, it’s a manger, add animals. For two, it’s a work of fiction, add aliens, or Wookies, or robots. For three, the whole point is to have kids feel included and be interested, so add MDMA or something.

            You think anyone cares how many “animals” are on stage?

            If they can’t creatively figure out how to give everyone a part they can be excited about, then they have no business producing the show. I mean, a fucking door? Pathetic.

        I just thought that in real life, when they were out of on-stage roles, other children would do something else. But then again if the children are, like, 7, it’s not like you can assign ALL the jobs to them.

        I hadn’t thought about it. But then again, I never did any sort of play at school.

      No no. I was a tree as a child too. I don’t remember what the play was.

      Not to brag, but I was the only tree with a line.
