Recently, Marc forced me to catch up on the project of backing up all of the pictures. As a result, I found some pictures that I had edited for a blog but never got around to posting. Long-time readers may remember a post back in September 2011 about Marc's balloon tying skills. Shortly after it was published, Marc was approached at work by some female residents in his pediatrics program who indicated that they did not find his balloons all that impressive. They seemed to think that they could easily teach themselves to do the same thing. Marc, being a man, was full of bluster about this encounter and asked me to photograph and post some more balloons in hopes that they would appreciate his "mad skillz". So, here it is: the catalog of balloon shapes that only real men can tie.
First up, we have the very masculine motorcycle balloon. I wish I had a picture of one done in black, but this is still pretty cool.
Speaking of hogs, nothing says "man" like a chauvinist pig.
Awww, but this one is cute and fat and pink!
Okay, sorry, back to the manliness. We'd like to see those girls attempt to tie this scorpion of death!
Yeah, take that. Or how about this ferocious black bear?
Actually, I want to hug that one and take a nap...
Focus! Okay, here is a fire-breathing, princess-eating dragon!
And it's fearsome cousin, the dragon.... fly?
Really, babe? This is what you give me to work with?
Nothing could be more frightening than a fuzzy... pink... bunny. Umm, maybe it's one of those bunnies like in Monte Python?
Oh look, and here are some flowers. I'm sure they are, uh, carnivorous. Yeah.
Finally, we have a petrifying, um, penguin.
Don't ask. I have no idea what is manly about penguins. You'll have to call Marc. So, uh, boo-ya balloon-skill-doubting residents..... and stuff. Gotta go.
