Today was the long awaited "Bun Bash." In the midst of all the hectic revelry and screaming at the top of my lungs singing, I have developed a slight case of laryngitis... So in the spirit of my new Mime status, here is a picture blog of the party mayhem:
On the Menu:
CinnaBUNs and, as described by pinky the cat, "Roast Pork Buns,
Roast Pork Buns, One a penny, two a penny, Roast Pork Buns"

The Whale recites a Poem for the Bun:
Camerado, I give you my hand!I give you my love more precious than money,
I give you myself before preaching or law;
Will you give me yourself? will you come travel with me?
Shall we stick by each other as long as we live?
excerpt from "Song of the open Road" by Walt Whitman
Guess the size of the Oven! Estimates ranged from 26 in. (aka people being nice - lame) to 60 in. (Ok, so I was way off).In the end, P. measured in at exactly 39 inches. Luna J. came through with big the win, although I suspect she used her Doula magic to somehow cheat.
P. and the Whale decided to keep the gender of the Bun a secret, so guests contributed Name Suggestions for each possibility:
Sample Boy Names - Wesley, Charile, Fintan, Amhairghin (pronounced Ah-var-in), Padraig, Che, John Paul George Ringo, Miko
Sample Girl Names - Perpetua, Clarissa, Giselle, Sarielle, Mijin, Eoife (pronounced Ee-fah), Cassidy, Miko
Sample Pirate Names - Jack Sparrow, Sinbad, Magellan, Flinty McGee, Holmesy, Dread Pirate Roberts, Captain Miko
Name that Baby!
Can you guess who this amazingly super cool banged girl is?
Hint: Her name rhymes with Dyork.The wall of "Design Your Own Onesie" creations
Print reads: Offspring of the Whale. "It Blows"
Some other notable favorites not worthy of the "extreme close up" priority:
1) I can't Read!
2) What happens at Lola's, stays at Lola's
3) If you think I'm cute, check out my brother (with a picture of a basset hound)
4) I've got a [Whale drawing] of a Dad
5) Obama '08
And, naturally, I saved the best for last (mine):
How's that for reversal of stereotypes? Funny, when P. and the Whale dine out, food runners usually place the hamburger and fries in front of the Herbivore and the goat cheese salad in front of the Carnivore. Geez, don't you know that when you assume you make an Ass out of U and Me?Throughout the course of the day, there was...
Dancin' and Jammin'!
Balloonin' and Spoonin'!
And everyone had a "Bun"derful time! Oh dear... Bun, please come soon. We're all waiting for you with bated breath.

dude, the large picture of your onesie design is too large and cannot be viewed on your blog.
What a great party, thanks for helping throw it, the Missus and I loved it. To be perfectly honest, yesterday it really hit home that I'm going to be a father. I'm nervous and excited in equal parts. I think we are all in agreement that everything will be best if Fintan/Eoife takes after Mrs. The Whale in every way.
Thanks again, little sister.
I think that the party was quite a hit! Maybe I should quit my job and should we start a business! HA!
You're so right! It was truly Bunderful!
