All about one pinata

I totally intend to look up how to do the squiggle "n" thing, I'm just too lazy to do so right now :P Even though FireFox would probably insist that it's spelled wrong (see also: cliche and cliché).

So when I initially proposed this pinata for AI, I was just planning on using gold coin chocolate candy in it, 'cuz I thought it would be hilarious and awesome. And then people started speaking up, and were like, Noooo, what about the Yoshi eggs? And the stars (never mind that they aren't typically in boxes, IIRC)? And the flamey flower things? And tomatoes and mushrooms?

And I was all like, Well, hypothetically, one could take components for a number of those things and hot-glue them together (coin-shaped cinnamon candy plus non-candy stem, Rollos plus gold-foil Hershey Kisses, etc). Also, there's these Pocky-like mushroom candy things at this one Asian supermarket, and the knock-off brand is only a dollar a box.

And they were all like, Sounds great, you get to it 8Dbbb

Now, of course, it is three days before the con, and the pinata isn't finished yet - as in, I haven't even bought all the candy yet, let alone started gluing things together. So I want to get a second opinion.

Edit: Guys, I was just joking about putting tomatoes in a piñata, really. You do not need to take that answer seriously!

Comic review, Canadian, Please, and Creativity link

( Review: Secret Identities, the Asian-American Superhero Anthology )

Other news, part the first: To the best of my knowledge, I have never even tried poutine, nor is any piece of furniture in my apartment a chesterfield, and I'm almost positive I have never bought my milk in a bag. I still feel compelled to link you to Canadian, Please. It is quite catchy, and I must have listened to it/watched it at least twenty times since it was linked at Shakesville on Sunday. Also, the "we invented the zipper" part was uh. *_* Y-yeah. Anyone who gives it a shot, check out the artists' channel; there's an update video, and a deleted-scenes video, both of which are great fun. Oh, and try out their other songs, too :3 I have very mixed feelings about Mother Nature, but the other three are quite interesting/pretty.

Other news, part the second: Calling anyone who is interested in non-European fairy tales! Especially writers (origific variety) who have an interest in possibly making a little cash and also helping level out the equality playing field in Sci-Fi/Fantasy! Do check out this notice at verb_noire. I know I'm sure as hell tempted. *goes to start her research*
