I don't think Jell-O-shot art will ever replace Crop Art as a folk genre.

It's known as "crop art" in Minnesota, and is exhibited at the State Fair. Elsewhere, it's known as seed art while the term "crop art" is often used to mean crop circles (especially the more elaborate designs they have evolved into) and corn mazes.

Is there any truth to the rumor that Bill Crosby, David Crosby, and Norm Cosby are all Bing's illegitimate sons? Or have I ingested too many jello shots?

gave me a nightmare last night, dreamed that Bill Cosby was chasing me around throwing little Jell-o squares at me ...

See what you did SINS ... off to the cellar with you!

I'm so very pleased that the man would do the thing with my picture with the Jello and the jigglers and the things and I could just take a spoon and gobble up my own picture later on like some kind of pudding pops and things.

There was a fifth rate lounge lizard singer named Lemongello. He used to send packs of Lemon Jell-O as a calling card. Maybe I can get old dude on his mailing list.

Daquiri Jello Shots made with lime JellO...seems a waste of good rum to me.

The white is Pina Colada. If you look at the second picture, you see he is arranging the face only on a white tablecloth. The completed rendering is not made of Jell-O. No grey or black. It is supposed to look like a Light Bright Board - remember those?

"Red and green plus a touch of purple make mud"

Sure, I remember Easter egg color theory. But in Jell-O color theory, do strawberry and lime plus a touch of grape make a grey-hued concoction? And if so, would it not show up in the picture as a much darker hue instead of that pasty pale grey?

And what of the white shots? In Easter egg theory, white = uncolored shell. But uncolored gelatin is clear or nearly clear, not Elmer's-Glue White.

The opacity of the white dots and the grey dots in the picture is what makes me think that something is amiss here. What I've been trying to say all this time, in a roundabout way, is that I don't believe the artist used real Jell-O shots.

Like *I* said....*grin*

(there are people who use a hypodermic needle to inject booze...vodka...whatever, into stuff like watermeleon...perhaps the whole idea is to get non-drinkers soused..)

Okay, call me a pop culturally illiterate goober from the sticks if you want, but...

You mean a "Jell-O Shot" REALLY IS Jell-O and booze? DIS-FUCKIN'-GUSTING! PATOOEY! YUCK!

I am ever so glad I quit drinking before whatever damned fool it was came along and dreamed up that abomination!

Maybe Dan and Little Hawk can pool all their Dachshund shit, mix it up with cheap vodka, and market it as "Wiener Dog Turd Shots"!

And maybe I didn't either...

"In 1974, comedian Bill Cosby became the company's pudding spokesperson, and continued to serve as the voice of Jell-O for almost thirty years. Over the course of his tenure as the mouthpiece for the company, he would hawk new products such as frozen Jell-O Pops (in both gelatin and pudding varieties); the new Sugar-Free Jell-O, which replaced D-Zerta in 1984 and was sweetened with NutraSweet; Jell-O Jigglers concentrated gummi snacks; and Sparkling Jell-O, a carbonated version of the dessert touted as the "Champagne of Jell-O." "
(from Wikipedia, font of all useless info, followed closely by Mudcat Cafe, which serves as a useful index of the useless)
I never heard of sparkling Jell-O...

You must not have watched enough commercial TV in the late '80s, Amos.

"Salomone said that in the "collective subconscious" of Americans, there's a strong link between Cosby and the iconic dessert. "

Not in my part of the forest, that's for sure.

Iffn you want booze, just drink it! Why on earth bother to put it in Jello?

And if you want to MAKE an image of Cosby out of Jello, why bother to waste the booze?

Me? I'm kinda slow, and just don't 'get' the nuances of some artistic enterprises.

Haven't you ever colored easter eggs, Sharon? Red and green plus a touch of purple make mud.

SINS: Nyuck nyuck. No, I just think that the white shots and the grey shots would taste awful. Neither one is a flavor of Jell-O, so I'm guessing they're made of clear gelatin with paint added.

I was kind of hoping that we could keep this under the lid, in the box and dry, or at least in the refrigerator in order to spare a certain old dude but it is not to be. sigh He knows how very sympathetic I am.

Knowing our fascination with Jell-O, I thought it importaaant to share this one.
