FIGURE 1 FIGURE 1 is an illustrative view of prior art 11. Blow-out novelty items are known in the art. They comprise a mouthpiece 12 attached to a body 14 inflatable from a rolled position 16 to a distensible position 18. When air is blown into the mouthpiece 12, the air inflates the body 14 to an unrolled, distensible position 18. FIGURE 2 FIGURE 2 is an illustrative chart of embodiments of the present invention. The present invention provides a blow-out novelty item 10 having a mouthpiece 12 connected to a body 14 which can be inflated from a rolled position 16 to a distensible position 18. When a user blows air into the mouthpiece 12, the body 14 unrolls to a distensible position 18 which reveals a novelty shape 24. Examples of types of shapes 26 include food 28, body parts 30 such as a penis 76, people 32 and animals 34. Specific examples include snakes 36 or mythological creatures 38 such as dragons 40, holiday themed shapes 42 such as witches 44 and skeletons 46, and foods 28 such as hot dogs 48 and lollipops 50. FIGURE 3 FIGURE 3 is a sectional view of the present invention 10 in distensible position 18. The blow-out novelty item 10 includes a mouthpiece 12 and a body 14. The mouthpiece 12 has an air inlet 52 at the first end 54 with the second end 56 in conduit connection with the body 14. A coil wire spring 58 extends from the mouthpiece 12 through the body 14 to bias the body 14 into a rolled position. When air 20 is blown into the mouthpiece 12 through the air inlet 52, the air 20 inflates, unrolls and extends the body 14. Shown also are a plurality of flexible joints 60 in the body 14 which, when the body 14 is extended, allow the body 14 to oscillate, giving the appearance of wiggling. Portions of the body 14 are formed of an elastomeric, distensible material 62 that protrude therefrom when under pneumatic pressure. FIGURE 4 FIGURE 4 is an illustrative view of the present invention 10 in the shape of a snake 36, shown in both rolled position 16 and distensible position 18. The blow-out novelty item 10 includes a mouthpiece 12 and a body 14 formed of an elastomeric, distensible material 62. The mouthpiece 12 has an air inlet 52 at the first end 54 with the second end 56 in conduit connection with the body 14. A coil wire spring 58 extends from the mouthpiece 12 through the body 14 as a means to bias the body 14 into a rolled position 16. When air 20 is blown into the mouthpiece 12 through the air inlet 52, the air 20 inflates, unrolls and extends the body 14 into a novelty shape, such as a snake 36. The shapes can have extendible portions such as fangs 64, eyes 66 or a tongue 68. Shown also is an air release valve 70 forming a hiss tube in the tongue 68 adapted to generate an audible sound such as a snake hissing. Shown also are flexible rubber joints 60 in the body 14 for causing a wiggling motion. FIGURE 5 FIGURE 5 is an illustrative view of the present invention having a dragon 40 shape, shown in both rolled position 16 and distensible position 18. The blow-out novelty item 10 includes a mouthpiece 12 and a rolled body 14 formed of an elastomeric, distensible material 62. The mouthpiece 12 has an air inlet 52 at the first end 54 with the second end 56 in conduit connection with the body 14. When air is blown into the mouthpiece 12 through the air inlet 52, the air inflates, unrolls and extends the body 14 into a novelty shape, such as a dragon 40. The novelty shapes can have extendible portions such as fangs 64, jaws 72 or a tongue 68. Shown also is an air release valve 70 adapted to generate an audible sound such as a dragon hissing. Shown also are flexible joints 60 in the body 14 for causing a wiggling motion. FIGURE 6 FIGURE 6 is an illustrative view of the present invention 10 having a skull 74 shape with distensible printed skeletal structure, shown in both rolled position 16 and distensible position 18. The blow-out novelty item 10 includes a mouthpiece 12 and a rolled body 14 formed of an elastomeric, distensible material 62. The mouthpiece 12 has an air inlet 52 at the first end 54 with the second end 56 in conduit connection with the body 14. When air is blown into the mouthpiece 12 through the air inlet 52, the air inflates, unrolls and extends the body 14 into a novelty shape, such as a skull 74. Shown also are flexible joints 60 in the body 14 for causing a wiggling motion. Printed designs 60 on the body 14 further define the various novelty shapes. FIGURE 7 FIGURE 7 is an illustrative view of the present invention 10 having a witch 44 shape, shown in both rolled position 16 and distensible position 18. The blow-out novelty item 10 includes a mouthpiece 12 and a rolled body 14 formed of an elastomeric, distensible material 62. The mouthpiece 12 has an air inlet 52 at the first end 54 with the second end 56 in conduit connection with the body 14. When air is blown into the mouthpiece 12 through the air inlet 52, the air inflates, unrolls and extends the body 14 into a novelty shape, such as a witch 44. An air release valve is adapted to generate an audible sound such as a witch hissing. Shown also are flexible joints 60 in the body 14 for causing a wiggling motion. FIGURE 8 FIGURE 8 is an illustrative view of the present invention 10 having a lollipop 50 shape, shown in both rolled position 16 and distensible position 18. The blow-out novelty item 10 includes a mouthpiece 12 and a rolled body 14 formed of an elastomeric, distendible material 62. The mouthpiece 12 has an air inlet 52 at one end 54 with the opposite end 56 in conduit connection with the body 14. When air is blown into the mouthpiece 12 through the air inlet 52, the air inflates, unrolls and extends the body 14 into a novelty shape, such as a lollipop 50. Shown also are flexible joints 60 in the body 14 for causing a wiggling motion. FIGURE 9 FIGURE 9 is an illustrative view of the present invention 10 having a body part 30 shape, shown in both rolled position 16 and distensible position 18. The blow-out novelty item 10 includes a mouthpiece 12 and a body 14 formed of an elastomeric, distendible material 62. The mouthpiece 12 has an air inlet 52 at the first end 54 with the second end 56 in conduit connection with the body 14. A coil wire spring 58 extends from the mouthpiece 12 through the body 14 to bias the body 14 into a rolled position 16. When air is blown into the mouthpiece 12 through the air inlet 52, the air inflates, unrolls and extends the body 14 into a novelty shape, such as a penis 76. FIGURE 10 FIGURE 10 is an illustrative view of the present invention 10 having a hot dog 48 shape, shown in both rolled position 16 and distensible position 18. The blow-out novelty item 10 includes a mouthpiece 12 and a body 14 formed of an elastomeric, distendible material 62. The mouthpiece 12 has an air inlet 52 at the first end 54 with the second end 56 in conduit connection with the body 14. A coil wire spring 58 extends from the mouthpiece 12 through the body 14 to bias the body 14 into a rolled position 16. When air is blown into the mouthpiece 12 through the air inlet 52, the air inflates, unrolls and extends the body 14 into a novelty shape, such as a hot dog 48.
