Pinata Question

Submitted by U of M in TX on

I need to consult the Michigan Faithful on this one.

My wife is having a baby shower thrown by one of her friends and they want to have a pinata for some of the festivities. We are both huge Michigan fans and my question to you is:

Should it be a OSU type pinata or a Michigan type pinata? I don't know if I like buying somthing Buckeye to support OSU, but I also don't like bashing something that is Michigan either. Please let me know what you think. I need help!

In college I use to call this the Michigan State Folding Chair. Somehow you knew they were going to fold. As the tides started to turn I would go get a folding chair and sit in it. It would really piss off my friends that were MSU fans.....and I was almost always right.

DIY with papier-mâché. Get a big oval balloon, newspaper, glue, and tissue paper, and make a giant piñata of Brutus the Buckeye's head. It's easy enough to do as a weekend project, you should be able to make it look reasonably like the real thing, and it can be done entirely without supporting OSU.

Bonus points if it's burned in effigy after the candy comes out. Double bonus points if pics and/or video are posted on here.

Also, Mexican kids sing the following song while the pinata is getting pummeled. It's brief and ensures that each kid gets a fair shot at "moydering" it. Have fun!

Pinata Song Lyrics:

Dale, dale, dale,
no pierdas el tino;
Porque si lo pierdes
pierdes el camino.
Ya le diste una,
ya le diste dos;
Ya le diste tres,
y tu tiempo se acabó

Here it is in english:

Hit it, hit it, hit it (or "go, go, go")
Don't lose your aim
Because if you lose it (your aim)
You will lose the path.
You've already hit it once
You've already hit it twice
You've already hit it three times
And your time is over
