This guy created a stick with a nail and called it the “ball putter” – which isn’t a golf tool, but instead, a tool to PUT a ball (little super bouncy ball) into a balloon. The ball putter. Makes perfect sense. As long as your kid won’t choke on them.  So I’ve got to wait a few years on that one. Stick with nail.

That is my favorite weapon too. Though usually the nail is perpendicular. I like the rawness of it. Not enough adventure games feature the “Stick with Nails”.  Only those post fallout games do and even then, they aren’t really powerful. Even an “Enchanted Stick with Nails of Agility and Might” ain’t much help when up against automatic rifles and such. Those post fallout guys are tough.

Anyway, so I figure I should be buying some good balloons to continue my art with and thought I’d go with T Myers, since he invented the ball putter and cause…well, that’s the only reason. I’m on the fence with his logo. It doesn’t help or hurt him.

What hurt him was price. Shipping price actually. 9 bucks doing USPS shipping from Austin? So I had to search around and found the no-brainer site of balloons and clowns. With their own custom 800 number – clown 99!  Dollar less on shipping. And a couple of dollars less on the actual balloons. Let’s see if my loyalty to frugalness does me any good.

I’ll go back to T Myers, when the ball putter can become part of my life. Oh – and the Wiggle Eyes too. Not so sure about the MagicPipe though. Why would I want to put bird seed into the balloon? Small dog bones? 

Nah. When Chapo dies, I think we’ll bury him. Not use him as party favors.

Though, I guess, if that’s what the kids want…
