soc_puppet | 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.

Still to come: A review of Secret Identities (the Asian-American superhero anthology!), and something about Canada.

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