The “is there anything wrong about Jello shooters per se?” post (or, an exercise in gauging reader complicity in a meta-hypothetical)

Not that I’ve given it a whole lot of thought, but my first reaction is to say no, of course not, why would there be—particularly if it leads to some sort of consensual group nudity? 

But—and more to the point—why do you even ask?

  1. JD says:

    There is nothing inherently wrong with jello shots, provided you are very very comfortable and secure with your sexuality.

  2. Major John says:

    Group nudity as a plus? I suppose it all depends on who is in the group…

    I never get invited to those scenes.

    Something about being “a party foul”.

  4. JD says:

    The unintended consequences of consensual group nudity can be drastic, especially following jello shots, or even worse, Jaeger Bombs.

  5. happyfeet says:

    The morrow would bring reflection that the evening prior could be conveniently bisected in terms of that precise moment that Tiffany, an unassuming Delta, chose to order a round of “jello shooters.”

  6. Meg Q says:

    As a strict Catholic, I find jello shots to be morally unacceptable. I believe Thomas Aquinas treats this in the Summa, especially Prima Secundae Partis, Q. 71. Augustine also mentions the “calix gelatinus” in his Confession, during his “par-tay” years, IIRC.

    None of this keeps jello shots from being very popular items at all bars near Catholic colleges and universities.

  7. Steve B says:

    My biggest problem with jello shots is getting the stuff into the stringe.

    But maybe that’s just me.

    T, right next to Y.  Happens all the yime.

    You are a weird dude.

    PS: Turn your f’n stereo down!!!

    I can’t hear Wheel of Fortune.

    Damn dirty hippies…

    Christ the Patchouli’s thick enough to choke a maggot! Get the hose!

    Isn’t a vermin shooter just really a bee bee gun, BTW?

  12. CraigC says:

    Personally, I find group sex to be annoying. It’s very hard to concentrate.

    Heh, he said “very hard.”

  13. Sean M. says:

    I have a feeling that this is how the “Girls Gone Wild” franchise was born.

  14. Jeff Goldstein says:

    Meg. You’re confusing your Aquinas and your Augustine again.

    Aquinas was a flaming Ouzu guy.  Augustine, though, enjoyed, then later condemned, the marrowed malt.

    The hypocrite.

  15. furriskey says:

    These jello shots- I hope they are applied orally.

  16. If you’re going to puke blue, jello and generic vodka are a lot cheaper than Blue curacao and paper umbrellas.

    TW: hotel43. Close, it was a motel in 87.

    PS too much and you’ll pee blue, like eating a whole box of boo-berry.

  17. Dan Collins says:

    There’s nothing wrong with Jello shots that swallowing them in a hazmat suit won’t fix.

  18. slackjawedyokel says:

    Jello is slimy. 

    And the lime flavor is all they serve here at the Home. 

    Just give me the vodka and a Pudding Pop.

  19. Swen Swenson says:

    Jello shots. Now that’s alcohol abuse.

  20. Love Missile says:

    can anybody tell me how can i start a new topic here…smile

  21. Spam and Jello shots don’t mix…

  22. Dan Collins says:

    Whatever else you might say about them, you cannot say that Kashmiri trolls aren’t polite.

  23. Ric Locke says:

    Candy is dandy. Liquor is quicker. It therefore follows that combining the two is likely to be remarkably effective.

    eh, not so much. at least for me.

  25. Master of None says:

    Honest to God, I think I may be the original inventor of jello-shots, circa 1981. 

    My first batch, cherry jello and vodka, which I called “Blood Clots”, were a big hit.  My second batch, lime jello and vodka, I called “Phlegm Flams”.  Not so big a hit.

    Anybody remember jello-shots prior to 1981?

  26. Blitz says:

    MON, Not so much jello shots,but I do remember my sister and I trying to make vodka popsicles with vodka and grape Za-rex!!! Let’s just say the results were….unspectacular….

    both21?? Hell no,I was 15,she was 14
