And I suppose there is a difference between technicians and stagehands: a stagehand would have smelled the beer and had half of it slogged down while the technician was still kvetching.
Please note that the Italian phrase you massacred is properly spelled "prima donna" and properly pronounced "prrrrrima donnnnnna." It means "first lady," and I don't qualify, being a supporting character in the first place, and an angel -- and therefore, virtually genderless -- in the second.

Satisfied, Rudolph spies a nice warm spot on the floor and goes to sleep. ![[Snore]](graemlins/snore.gif)

Lowliest Shepherd

In 4 BC a team of crack shepherds was sent to prison by a Roman court for a crime they didn't commit. They promptly escaped from impending crucifixion to the Bethlehem underground. Today, still wanted by the Romans, they survive as shepherds of fortune. If you have a sheep problem, if no-one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the S-Team.
Come on sheep let's go, come on now let's be having you, there you go into the pen, there now that's you all now, great.
Damn - we need a sheep dog

Mr Musical Director, I am slightly disturbed to discover that you don't appear to know that violins and mandolins, (and the rest of an orchestral string section) tune to A (440), not to middle C.
Please tell me that this was an early morning aberration, and that you gave me a middle C by accident. My confidence in you is ever-so slightly shaky.
(Fortunatetly my pitch is good enough to be able to tune from your dodgy middle C though).
Anyhow, what are we playing next? How about "there's a hole in my bucket" especially for Mary and Liz?

I've had a request for 'How Much is that Doggy in the Window' but I think they potential buyer wants it for culinary purposes, so we'll skip it if you don't mind...
Instead I suggest a rousing rendition of 'Morning Has Broken' with Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince on rap breaks...

*Stage whispers:* Any Angels out there?
After three:
The news has broken
Gabriel has spoken
He said the babies
Were not Joseph's
He said that they're God's
New recreations
But (here's the best bit),
He did it by text.
Now Mary's gone off
To see her cousin
They spent all last night
Drinking too much
Then they ate pizza
(E.T does not like spam;
But she likes drinking
Needle-fed booze)
Gabriel came to
See what they were doing
But he did not stay
As he's not a GIRL
The fairy GM did
And watched Mr Darcy
But she soon left as
M and L puked
The News has broken
Gossip is raging
Mary is preggers
Don't know who's the dad
But what is certain
Is that she's not well
The babies keep kicking
Her food back up
![[Angel]](graemlins/angel.gif)
*Chief begins to blush as she realises that it's lunchtime and no-one's going to keep their food down now*
Angels are flying
Down from the rafters
To tell the news that
God is to blame
He got her preggers
(It may stop the rumours)
You'll see the result
Sometime next week
*Glad she found the last verse, Chief Angel leads any remaining angels off USR*

...well the phones are shot since the sheep came through here, but the radar, GPS, and radio telescopes are working again now. I don't want to bother anyone, but there seems to be some stellar disturbance shaping up in the fifty-fourth quadrant, looks like it's heading this way. I have no idea what those rays might do to pregnant ladies... maybe Jedi Knight can bring some of his wisdom on this... hello, anyone?...

Sounds like some kind of meteor shower to me. ![[Paranoid]](graemlins/paranoid.gif) And if it is, we shouldn't be worrying rays, more like lumps of rock falling from on high. Still, I expect if you ask any one of those passing star-gazers, they might be able to shed some light on it for you...

Boy, girl, whatever -- you're all the same from this side of the uterus.
Okay, I am hungry, I want some food, and I want it NOW. *bangs on wall* Hello, room service? Send down a swamp platter -- fried catfish, fried gator tail and fried frogs' legs, and make sure there's plenty of sweetened iced tea and a key lime pie waiting in the wings. What's that? I don't care that key limes haven't been discovered yet. I suggest you find a way to haul your butt over to the other side of the world and PICK SOME RIGHT NOW. IT IS NOT FLAT!!
Oh yeah, and I want some red velvet cake and some pralines and some ham biscuits and some cheese straws and some Mexican cornbread. Huh? THERE IS TOO SUCH A THING AS MEXICO!!
Gah, I'm surrounded by incompetence. Yo, bro *pokes the quiet, boring twin* you're the promised messiah, can't you DO SOMETHING ALREADY?

For all of our viewers
Wherever you are
Let me recap
The story so far.
Gabriel's message
Was sent by text
And Mary was worried
What to do next.
She picked up some chocolates
And a bottle of wine
Went round to see Liz
Who said things would be fine.
Video watching
With sheep and a cat
They all had a night in
With pizza and chat.
But now we must move on
It's soon time for scene three
Curious sightings
From a far galaxy.
