You are too big to be Jesus

Birthday gift! It is party time. The big 50. Lots of balloons, singing helium balloons, Tweety singing happy birthday helium balloon was my favorite, but there were 5-6 others. Yummy appetizers and wonderful food. Fish...what kind of fish? Oh, one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish. Lots of fun-loving folks. We discussed movies, fast cars, new bright yellow boats, high school yearbook messages, the fate of Pluto. Planet or not a planet. What if your horoscope was based on Pluto's influence? Now what?

Shall we sing along with Oklahoma or Rocky Horror. Lets do the Time Warp again, or maybe just watch. Not enough for some but way too much for others. They do not make cult classics like they used to. "Snakes on a Plane" Please! Give me Rocky so big on a giant HD flatscreen, I can see Tim Curry's 5 o'clock shadow under his makeup.

Then there was a guy who was considering a part in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat. Someone suggested he play Moses...his striking jock image, type cast...but no, he said, I want to play Jesus, then the question skips around the laughter...you are too big to play Jesus. How do we know? I mean I agree...too big, too craggy, too cut.

And I am to big to play Mary: too flabby, too immodest, too profane. and to old to be the next Shirley Temple. I'm 50 too, no 54...too old. But I so enjoyed being there for someone else, turning 50, throwing herself a big party with a chocolate fountain, build your own cocktail bar, and then find your way home in the dark.>
