I've never taken balloons preinflated, but I have inflated
a large number of balloons before a show at the sight.  I
then have them ready to twist into whatever.  This technique
works best for me at schools, when I am doing a large
presentation and telling a story.

Have you considered using a pump?

Oh, and you can check the guide under Blowing Up
Balloons for more tips (right Mark?)!  :)
