In Kendall's case - especially in the backless gown, it has to be jelly, cos jam don't shake like that!

In Spain they have a kind of pumpkin jam called 'cabello de ángel', which means 'angel hair' - should be appropriate for those on the other side.

And Jelly is also something you have with custard, preferably not posthumously.

PS. That's cornflower type custard, not real custard.

Shouldn't have started that one... In UK, Jelly is Jeri's Jell-O and a conserve. Jelly is strained (as is a cheese which is not to be confused with ,hmm, cheese) and jam has bits in (and so does marmalide).

How about if the patient throws the Jello/Jelly at his doctor?

Subject: RE: BS: New Mudcat Rules in Place
From: GUEST,Jon
Date: 31 Jan 11 - 10:27 AM

The above only applies to those calling it Jell-O. Those correctly calling it Jelly are free to consume and post.

Rule number three:
While in the hospital (not ICU) any member who consumes Jell-O at the direction of his or her doctor will also be banned from posting. Anyone who regards Jell-O as a source of nutrition for the sick cannot post as their mental faculties are impaired and would not be able to contribute to our daily scholarly discussions. In addition "Lime Green Jell-O" consumers would need to also submit a formal public apology

Can we have posts from ICU if another Mudcatter is present? It would cause problems for me if we can't as, quite often, just a daily Mudcat fix is the only thing that keeps the Cap'n relatively well behaved!

"Where do the partially dead fit in?? There are a few people who are dead from the neck upwards, thus impairing their 'Mudcat' function.... does the whole body have to be dead?"

No, they can continue to contribute, but they will be strictly limited to threads on the following topics only:-

1) What is Folk Music?
2) Muslim men and their attitudes to non-Muslim women.
3) The search for a cure for Homosexuality.

which is where they mostly reside anyway, so no change there. :-) :-)

Are deceased members allowed to have proxy posters? We already know what certain members are going to say on certain subjects, so why is it necessary that they be alive to post? If one of them should die, why couldn't someone else post their predictable same-old same-old comments for them? Like, if Little Hawk croaks tonight and there's a thread about US politics tomorrow, just about anyone could step in and post something about how lame-assed the two-party system is.

I suggest one post, at any time, be allowed per member, after death.
It could only be posted under "what's the weather like where you are, mild or hot"? No post would be needed for the athiests, of course.:)

Look, I was born and raised in Illinois and it was there I learned that death doesn't revoke your citizenship and your right to vote as you're told. Same thing here -- I'll sign up my brothers in Illinois and they'll sue if this rule discriminating against the vitality-impaired isn't revoked!

hmmm another loophole Dave, we gotta figure that one out ... maybe if someone is intending to go into ICU we can require prior notification so they will refrain from posting .. that's it .. 24 hour notification required. If someone is planning a heart attack they have to clear it with mudcat first

Yes, now from time to time one will hear "I wish I was dead" after reading someone's post in the BS section, the law does not apply to them either since that is a normal reaction. Likewise terms like "take me now God" or just shoot me .. again that is a normal response to the BS section and hence exempt

Would scientific evidence be required submitted that those of the past are in fact dead, before the mudcat account is terminated?

Or, will a voucher from the cremator from the athiests, and creator for God believers, be accepted as proof?
