I got my new blowgun in the mail this week:

It’s just what I needed.  In order to fit my old blowgun into my new prop case I had to cut a few inches off the front of it.  I was hoping that 4 inches wouldn’t make much difference in the accuracy, but it made a HUGE difference.  So I bought the good ol’ Extreme Trailblazer so that I could use just one segment and add it on to the front of my performing blowgun, and yet it would still fit in my case when it was disassembled.  Works great.

The weird thing though, was that when I opened the tiny little box that it came in, I was OVERPOWERED by the stench of old cigarette smoke.  It’s no surprise that the people who sell blowguns would smoke, and I have no problem with that, it’s their own business… but seriously… how did they manage to make their product smell so incredibly bad?  I’m starting to think that they must’ve blown smoke directly into the box and then quickly sealed it up, because there is no way a human could survive in that kind of atmosphere.  Even today, 4 days later, the box still reeks.
