Ok, sorry I was gone for a couple of days but now I'm back.  I found out
that I learned this from Darlo at TJam and Chris Jackson (Fort Collins, CO)
said he actually learned it from John Holmes a year or two ago.  So, credit
given where credit is known, here are the directions nicely written out by
Chris Jackson (much better than the ones I came up with - thanks Chris).

Inflate a white Bee Body about 4-5"  Tulip twist the knot, going all the way
through to the red tip.  Adjust the twist so the tip comes out of the side
of the bubble, rather than the end.  Roll the tip up and gently tuck it into
the twist.  Add a face with your marker.  To operate, press down on the top
of the balloon on the side opposite the tip.  The tongue springs out.  Roll
it back up, tuck it back in, and you are ready to try again.

A tulip twist and some sharpie.  How simple can you get?

Hope everyone likes this as much as I did.  I can't find a picture of it at
BHQ but I'm sure I'm not looking hard enough.  If anyone finds the picture,
could you post which number it's under on the TJam picture page?  Thanks.
