A Virtual Grapevine Xmas Panto?

[beefy]

Im Grumpy - just getting into the role (I like role play )

[Mrs Dobby]

Lol!!!!!!!! You had me worried there for a minute or two! lol!

[madderbat]

I really should apologise for being so forward! What i could have said was that Mr MB makes a good "Windy" Dwarf, and he's very happy for Mr D to be 'Farty'.
Personally I see them as the bean growers, What do you think?

[madderbat]

Now Mr MB wants to be Russel Sprout, commonly known as Fartyballs -Lord Help us!

[Mrs Dobby]

PMSL MB!!! Russel Sprout! lol!!

Dont worry about being forward MB, your OH thought of the name Farty, if he wants it then its his, I was just commenting on how suitable it would be for Mr D!! lol!

[madderbat]

thanks a lot, many chuckles here. This really is the best thing we've done for ages. It's great to have such a laugh.

PS He's talking of a bubble bath now!! I think he wants to practice

And like Mr D, it can be eggs, beans, beer, sprouts, well, almost anything really.

[Alison]

HO HO HO!!!!!!

Sorry, just getting into character.

[Earthbabe]

LOL Mrs D! Shame I missed the chat room by the sound of it. If you are jack you'll need some red or green tights and have to practise slapping your thigh!

I take it the "Tall" dwarf is called Carrot. Something to do with other forms of genetics I believe. (Guards!Guards!)

Which reminds me, don't we need a dragon or a harp or something?

[Earthbabe]

Geordie, gender doesn't come into it for dwarves.

Hi All,

Any parts left? Happy to even be the tea maker, anything to get into a Christmas mood....

From what Earthbabe says we need a dragon, would that be OK? If so perhaps you could practice your fire breathing..........

[Shortie]

Mrs D. I am definitely Snow Scarlet with that line up of dwarfs!!!!

Geordie, gender doesn't come into it for dwarves.

EB... I have a feeling LJ wasn't expecting female dwarves when she signed up for the role...

Carrot if a fab name for the Giant... gardening related, Pratchett Pun and linked to Dwarves to boot!

[Birdie Wife]

Is there a Mother Goose? I'll volunteer!

[mandyballantyne]

From what Earthbabe says we need a dragon, would that be OK? If so perhaps you could practice your fire breathing..........

Dragon sounds great fun, all I need to do is think of my boss and there will be loads of fire! Not joking!

Dill the Dragon it is then

We are still missing a couple of Dwarves, a Singing Harp and perhaps a few other ancillary characters (you may take 2 or more roles if you wish folks, I know Jennie had 4 in the production of Alladin she was in!)

So, before we start, anyone else want to sign on to the cast of the GYO Panto?

I'm envisioning the story to develop in a freestyle kind of way, as we each post what our own character does and continue the narative in an improvisational way (ala Whose Line is it Anyway? type of thing!)

I'll post the intro in a while, then its a free for all for everyone that wants to post, may the gods help us all!!
