Number 23
Paul Belanger, Dare to be different.
This tape which again has no date when produced covers Slim Jims and Worker balloons, the slim jims come in size 760 and 760S the "S" is for prestretched when they have latex paint added to them to add extra colour unlike the 760 which is just a solid colour.
Paul also talks about the worker balloon which is a 49S. On the slim jim the 760 i@m guessing is 7" diameter and 60" length. As I did not have any of these I used a 646 to make up the bazooka.
On the tape were described linking balloons, games, wreath, palm trees, Bazooka, caterpillar, snake, dragonfly, insects, hats, fish, piranha, snake charmer, jungle tree hat, alien hat, crazy antenna basket case and a super snooz.
I have to say I was very dis-appointed with the tape, it was shot at super miles away and what did not help is that Paul is not the tallest of person so this made it even worse. Paul's head was about in the centre of the TV screen on the horizontal and should have been right at the top. I could not see any of the small add on details made from 260 and 280 balloons. When he talked about pop twists if no one knew what they were the video would not have been any help.
I actually got annoyed watching this tape so will leave it at what I have said already but it did seem to be a case of just using the larger balloon in place of a 260/280 and Paul showed the indian feather hat made from the super slim jim. Also explained was a palm tree with the slim jim as a trunk and then 260's for the leaves and just a one balloon monkey made form a 260 wrapped around the slim jim so proportion and scale was all wrong. I could go on and on but enough said.
The bazooka as made from the instructions on the tape, Paul's bazooka was a lot longer as he used the 60" slim jim and I had a 646.
The first picture is the bazooka and then Paul put a slight bend in the middle and said everyone would know what it was meant to be,
I personally think not so we will see if anyone can guess what the second picture is meant to be, competition time.
The bazooka had a tulip twist at the end and it was explained this was to make it more authentic but then Paul added the handles on and the tulip twist was always kept at the wrong end for the rest of the explanations. You are meant to put your arm through the loop and hold onto the single handle at the front. So if you are making this I would have the handles the other way around so that the tilip twist is at the front, I did tie the tulip twist into place as there is a lot of pressure on the 646 and I think it would pop out to easy if not tied in place.
