Well I just wanted to share with you something that I ussualy make for the 
birthday kid apart from a hat.

Balloon Boy's Lollipop

Okay you will need 3 260Q's
	Colors	1 red
		1 white 
		1 yellow

The lollipop uses the same principle as the ears in my Mickey except with two 
balloons.Now for the head of the lollipop (the edible part) I ussually use red 
and white because it looks sort of like the ussual speriment swirl.

Inflate both red and white 260 leaving about 3-4 inches uninflated (you just 
want to make sure you have enough balloon to go around). Take the red balloon 
twist a 1.5inch loop twist followed by a 1 inch pinch twist.
	  __
	 /    \
	|   |   |  -> loop twist 
	|_ | _|
	  (_)     -> ear twist

Wrap the nozzle of the white balloon around the ear twist.Now take this 
balloon around the 1.5inch loop twist and lock it at the red ear twist.Once 
again twist a 1inch pinch twist in the white balloon.Just to be safe don't 
deflate the white balloon yet.

the other

Finally bring the rest of the red balloon around again and lock it with either 
pinch twist.Deflate the rest of both balloons tie off and rid yourself of 
them.

Bring both ear twist to one side.Inflate the yellow (the stick) leaving 2 
inches uninflated.Wrapr the nozzle around the two pinch twists and now twist 
two 2 inch loop twists.The side with the two pinch twists is the back of the 
lollipop.If you turn the lollipop over to the front you might notice the gap 
and the lollipop not straight but on an angle.Just twist a big 1inch pinch 
twist and move above the loop twist to fit in the gap, bring the rest of the 
balloon back and you have your lollipop.

To some it looks more like  a flower but I ussually pantomine the licking of 
the lollipop and they are convinved. It might look more like a lollipop 
without the two loop twists on the stick but I make them more for stability.

Anyways Enjoy,

	The Balloon Boy
