Jello Shots!

About a month ago I was at a married couple's house and drinking (outside the perimeter for non-Atlanta folks) and birthdays came up. My friend was turning 36 in August and in our slighted buzzed state drew up elaborate plans to paint the Big Peach a lovely shade of red the Saturday after her big day.

Fast forward to this month and the big day was approaching. I wrote my friend (who calls anymore?) and asked from what rooftop would the festivities commence?

His reply was they would be having a little get together at their place instead. It was the "adult and responsible thing to do". Now in today's economic climate and the fact they have a darling one year old at home, this seemed perfectly logical.

They bought their own little house in the burbs, had a child and a few car payments... in other words they had left NeverNever Land a long time ago. When they come and visit me in the city they are polite when they describe my apartment as a little too "post-college" for my age, but it is in a great location if you still like to go out as much as I must do. In other words, I'm Peter Pan if he joined a Fraternity. Now were are all within 2 years of each other, so this difference in lifestyles could potentially create some tension.

Back to our e-mail. After reading my buddy's e-mail I replied back that it would be great to drive up there and do something low key. I asked what I could I bring? His response:"Do you know how to make jello shots?"

Now if that isn't adult and responsible I don't know what is. I can hold off re-thinking my life and the race with the Jones's for another year.

In honor of his request, here are three of my favorite jello shot receipes:

Margarita Jello Shots
6 ounces Lime Jell-o
16 ounces Water (boiling)
6 ounces Tequila
2 ounces Triple Sec
1 ounce Lime Juice
1 ounce Water (cold)

Lemon Drop Jello Shots
6 ounces lemon jello
16 ounces boiling Water
8 ounces cold Water
8 ounces Vodka

Rum and Coke Jello Shots
6 ounces Cherry Jello
16 ounces Cherry Coca-dCola
8 ounces White Rum

Enjoy!

sham WOW!

Found in Billy Mays' System: Cocaine, Hydrocodone, Oxycodone, Tramadol, Alprazolam, Diazepam and Alcohol -

I called upon my crack staff (the Google Oracle) to do a little research to see what Billy Mays was trying to accomplish by ingesting a CVS while "riding that train".

Hydrocodone and acetaminophen is used to relieve moderate to severe pain.

Oxycodone is used to treat moderate to severe pain.

Tramadol (Ultram) is narcotic-like pain reliever used to treat moderate to severe pain.

Alprazolam is used to treat anxiety disorders, panic disorders, and anxiety and is used as an adjunctive treatment for anxiety associated with moderate depression.

Diazepam (Valium) is used to treat anxiety disorders, alcohol withdrawal symptoms, or muscle spasms.

Cocaine is a powerfully addictive stimulant that directly affects the brain and helps numb the pain for selling your soul to hock shit people don't need.


I feel better about those 4 Miller Lites I had at Turner Field tonight.
