Okay. lf l hear no objections, then, we're turning the jaccuzi into a very large gelatin shooter.
Mmm. Should be a pretty relaxing place for a soak...

Do we get ice-cream and a wafer with the jelly?

Cakewalker Posted Jun 17, 2000
Hey, I hope it's green jelly. I had that at my 5th birthday party and all my friends went home with green teeth

how much vodka to water do you put in.... simon went on about making some last night, but we got the ratios all wrong!!!

}So is it mostly vodka, or mostly water?{
Swimming To Jupiter 4
Cakewalker Posted Jun 18, 2000
Mostly both With a bit of something else. Vegetarian gelling agent, probably.

Fashion Cat Posted Jun 18, 2000
so... for normal jelly you add 600 ml water... how much becomes vodka???

Hmm. According to that font of knowledge, [Broken link removed by Moderator] you replace half the water with vodka.
We can do that...

Bluebottle Posted Jun 18, 2000
And I can imagine what happens to the rest of the vodka...
...but is it such a good idea whilst swimming? You don't want to be sick over our psychadelic yellow submarine, do you?
It wouldn't make the pool particularly attractive to swim in.

Well...hmm. lf we indulge too much en route to Jupiter, who's for turning the Great Red Spot into a giant Bloody Mary once we get there?

It would take quite a lot to drink it all, considering it's about 3 or 4 times the size of the Earth...

Dunno about that... a few sober students should be able to polish ot off eventually!!!

Mew (who is hovering in midair unless otherwise stated) Posted Jun 19, 2000
}I suppose that depends on what they're students of.{
Swimming To Jupiter 4
Fashion Cat Posted Jun 19, 2000
*wonders exactly how Mew is able to that*
No.... all students, regardless (excepting those that dont drink for religions etc reasons) are consistently unsober.... its just degrees of drunken-ness... unless they're revising at the mo... sigh... 7 days till the detox ends!!! What I'd give for a Heather Cream, double over ice right now.... sigh....
The things you do to get good grades....

}Not if they're students of elementary schools and (hopefully) middle schools. I believe you should have said "COLLEGE students".{
}And as for how I'm able to do that: I'm a member of the second most powerful Psychic-type Pokémon. (Well, I'm just about equal to Mewtwo, but there's definitely an imbalance on my side...){
