Would you hit a pinata likeness of yourself?

I can see what you mean. It would only be a matter of time before someone uses that as a defense for an office maiming. “I thought he was a piñata”.

Oh, That was a response to this:

Yes I would! I’d smack me right in the nuts! Take that, me!

-vibrotronica, who has a lot of issues.

Oh. yeah. I’d pulverize my ass.

I’m pretty sure that Life already has a great big piñata in my likeness, and that it’s getting smacked around with great abandon.

Yep, and probably dislocate my shoulder doing it.

Well, I’d be happy to take pot shots at my own likeness but I don’t think that is really the only question.

The other question is, as others have pointed out what I would think to see other people hitting a representation of me with relish. I think I’d find it a bit hurtful in all honesty.

Hell yeah I would. There better be some kick-ass candy inside though.

I’m a guy. Guys tear each other down all the time - it’s no big thing; it’s how we bond. The pinata is just more of the same. I’d be a bit concerned if one of my office mates went seriously berserk while having a go, but otherwise, I’d stand there and make wisecracks about their style and aim whilst they had at it.

But first, I’d stop and tell the little fella just how DAMN good looking he is…

Then I’d smack his ass into Thursday.

Is there candy inside?

Better that I smack it than watch others enjoying the smacking.
It would be great at the party if after some people wacked it around a bit you took out a huge butcher knife and hacked it up while screaming unintelligible obscenities untill there was nothing left but tiny shards. Then you stop and sit there panting with a slightly embarrassed look on your face.

I wouldn’t mind.

At my office’s Cinco de Mayo party we had a piñata, and on its head we put a blown-up headshot of one of the senior managers. It’s kind of a running joke around here, actually, that this guy’s face winds up on all sorts of things (we also put his face on the pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey donkey). Anyway, he was the first to take a whack at it, and then three other people wailed on it before it finally broke. :slight_smile:

I was just gonna say, it’d be extra cool if my piñata skull was full of braaaaaaaaaains.

To destroy it, yes!! :frowning:

Not only would I hit it but (depending on who was present - some of my friends have as sick a sense of humor as me, while some of my (former) co-workers were pretty uptight) I’d have taken the time to empty out the candy and refilled it with red jello and water balloons filled with cherry koolaid.

… What? Some of my friends would think it funny. … I would at least.

What a bizarre thing to be bothered by. Why wouldn’t you want a pinata that looks like you? What are you, the Corsican Pinata Twin?

I think I’d find it strangely cathartic. I’d like it to be filled however with plastic travel bottles of liquor, lotto tickets, and Godiva chocolate.

Yeah, that would be pretty cool. I’d have to think of some ironic way to hit it.

And I can’t think of anything. Oh well…

Repeatedly and enthusiastically.

Eeew.

Zombie.
