Okay, so I purchased a Giotto Rocket Blower a couple of weeks ago as a way to keep my lenses and sensor clean. Well, after a couple of weeks of owning it, I find that I'm using it all the time.....I blow the front element off my lenses before I put the lens cap on, I blow out the mirror box every time I switch lenses. I blow off parts of the camera before I put it in the bag. I know I don't need to, but it's becoming a habit. I think I got a problem. I can't put this thing down. Damn you Giotto!

Oh my goodness yes. My rocket blower has a bunch of uses. For example:
Keyboard cleaning
lens cleaning
sensor cleaning
blowing leaves
keeping cool in the heat
amusing myself when I'm bored
makeshift respirator
sticking the red part on the inside of my elbow and squeezing until it makes a farting sound
and more!

Ok, in response to the PM's, here's a couple of suggestions:
1a) Fill your Rocket Blower with warm body oil. Apply liberally.
1b) Fill your Rocket Blower with Hershey's syrup. Apply selectively.
2) Stand your Rocket Blower upright on your nightstand. Insert a lit insense into the red tip (STICK DOWN, LIT END UP). The Rocket Blower holds incense quite nicely.
3) For the ladies: Remove the red tip from your Rocket Blower. Put a few drops of your sexiest perfume into the bulb. When your husband is watching the game, sneak your rocket blower into the den. Sit near him. Every now and then, squeeze the bulb in his direction. Don't let him see you doing this. He'll be dragging you to the bedroom before halftime.
4) For the guys: Post coital, you're too tired to snuggle, much less roll over onto your side to caress her and blow in her ear. Grab the rocket blower, aim it at her ear, squeeze gently (it helps to tell her to close her eyes first).

It's been 4 hours since I gave you these tips. No replies yet? I guess you're all out filling your Rocket Blasters with syrup.

I'm still trying to remove it from the orifice in which I inserted it.
Just my luck to have bought quick-setting syrup....

I neglected to mention that any of my suggestions voids the warranty on the Rocket Blaster. Further, using an out of warranty Rocket Blaster on your camera voids the warranty on your camera.
Another romantic tip for using the Rocket Blaster? Certainly! I'm glad you asked.
Doctor Love's Rocket Blaster Tip Number 5: (ADVANCED USERS ONLY) Little tiny hickies. Squeeze the bulb to expell all air. Place the tip on anywhere you wish on your partner's body. Release the bulb. Proceed with any other preferred activity while the bulb is attached. For best effect, use several Rocket Blasters.

They also serve as a massage device, when pummelled gently upon one's spouse.
Preferably when they're asleep...

Depending on how you hold the rocket blaster, yes, it makes a wonderful massage tool. Preferably in pairs. Hold it by the nozzle and it makes a wonderful drumming massage. Lay them on the side and it's a great rolling massage. Apply either end of the Rocket Blaster to your loved one's back and it's a great shiatsu massage.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Can you bong a beer with it?

Certainly! Any lager would work nicely. I'd wager a stout would eventually eat away at the nozzle.
