The engineers are intrigued by the idea of a pinata.
Mal: How come you didn't turn on me, Jayne? Jayne: Money wasn't good enough. Mal: What happens when it is? Jayne: Well... that'll be an interesting day.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Dave Sims showed he went off the rails a while back
I wanted to get a copy of the Cerebus issue that made his assistant quit (if I remember right). Er, as a Christmas present for a friend. Long story. Anyway, I didn't know the #, so I asked the guy at the comic shop if they still had copies of "the one with the insane Sim rant" and as we both started laughing, he said I needed to be more specific.
ION, before heading home Daniel gave me a lecture about how he wanted me to be happy. Which has depressed me. I would like a refund for my brain.

Making a pinata: [link]
I made one once. I made it a bit too sturdy and it finally had to be beaten to death on the ground.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
They had a pinata at my grandmother's birthday party, but it was empty! Bummer.

That's just cruel.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The last krav birthday party I attended had a pinata. I'm a little surprised no one was killed.

My MiL has a pumpkin pinata, I'm guessing she got it from Target or maybe Ralphs.

Yeah, there was almost serious property damage at the last adult party I went to with a pinata. OK, it was a one year old's birthday party, but that meant most of the guests were adults, and the birthday boy wasn't so much with the blindfold and the stick.

We had a baseball bat to smack the piñata with. And then some of the non-kravvers would wave the bat around, and you could see the krav instructors get a leetle bit more alert every time it came near.
Between that and the water pistols it coulda been ugly.

I just signed a brizillion papers to put Grace in a long term care facility. Not only is her case manager of indeterminate gender (named Alex) so is her nurse (named Angel).
paperdol, you're still taking Noah to the party, yes? Because you don't know this, but you are on the list of allowable folks to pick him up at day care, even if you don't have a carseat base in your car (yet).
