You have to go to ebay and do a search for the seller seekingtherapy. I don't want the item pulled, so I won't attempt to link.

2. A few years ago I made my own
I got a cheap human shaped pinata at the paper store. Then I got a sheet of label paper and printed out a picture of Jr. Then I applied my label over the old face. Unfortunately for us, the first guy to take a swing at it couldn't stop. He kicked it all over the place after it hit the ground. By the end of the evening there wasn't much left. (He did stop swinging long enough for the kids to grab up the candy.)

5. I wish we had one
I know someone at the gathering took pictures. I'll try to track one down and post it. We decorated the body with labels printed out with some of Dumbya's more notable quotes :eyes:


Earlier, after I made my first post in this thread, I had another "great" idea. We're doing a fundraiser for a Democratic House candidate next week. I think I'll go see if the paper store has another human-shaped pinata that I can use for her GOP incumbent. :evilgrin:

6. Great idea!
I bet it would be a good fundraiser. Instead of a kssing booth - a "whack the W pinanta".

8. Found it



Okay, this is the closest to a human-shape we could find at the time but it worked.

7. I love party planning
Maybe you can serve McCain lettuce salad, Bush (im)peaches, and Cheney shooters.

9. Some additional ideas
Edited on Fri Apr-14-06 07:29 PM by Mabus
Donald (Rumsfeld) Duck served with a (in?) thick soup (hereinafter to be known as Quagmire Stew?)

(Condi) Fired, oops, Fried Rice

Some canned (Scooter) Libby fruit cocktail (insert joke here)

And some Bill O'Reilly falafahs.

:rofl:


on edit: How could I forget? I'll also need to put out some sweets and flowers to greet everyone at the door.

3. That is great - shipping costs are low...
"Shipping costs will be relatively low as the head is rather empty on this piñata"
