BTW, where, pray tell, does one find a Caesar piñata?  
[/QUOTE]

One makes it, of course. I didn’t get to destroy it, but I did get to eat some of the innards, so I’m happy.

(1 cardboard box and 1 balloon, cover in papier maché and paint them for head+body. Make arms and legs from stuffed stockings. Wrap creation in a toga/bedsheet, crown with laurels. Remember to stuff with candy before sealing.)
