I HATE when people ask me if I'm "gellin." I've been asked this several times in the past week, and it's starting to get on my nerves. I believe that in order to question someone if they are "gellin," the interragator should be wearing the oh-so-comfortable dr. scholl's shoe inserts.

Thus, asking someone if they are gellin' should be a privilege limited to those who gel at the moment they are inquiring if the other persone gels. A person not gellin has no right asking someone if they gel! [No No]

I'm currently annoyed by people simply truncating the -ing ending. No, I am not comin'!

That said, how exactly does one gell?

I believe the simplest way to gel is to purchase a Dr. Scholl's Massaging Gel and place it in your shoe.

You mean there are people in the world who do not vomit the moment one of those commercials comes on? People who actually IMITATE the commercials AS THOUGH THEY WERE COOL?!

What the crap?

*lugs out extra-large jello mold*

*inserts one kaioshin*

*adds several gallons of jell-desert*

So, are you jellin'?

Well, maybe more than once.

You desecrated the jell-o by inserting me in it! I would just make it sour.

Though, I would rather be turned into a dessert than purchase one of Dr. Scholl's products! Curse them, and all the other gellers!

I freaking hate those commercials. They should die. A long, tortuous, choked by cold gel death.

that is why you carry a tube of cake decorating gel or one petite jell-o mold so as to strike the offender with aforementioned substances and respond "no, but you are."

those commercials really irritate me too. i would assume people imitate them to seem witty in realizing they are imitating something annoying, but on the other hand some people genuinely like vomit.

I apparently really like vomit.

Those commercials amuse me.

I am easily amused.

On the other hand, the Six Flags Magic Mt. Freaky Old Dude with a Bus makes me slightly ill. I don't know why.

gellin' like a felon,

Thanks to the wonders of Tivo, I have no idea what commercial you're talking about, as I haven't actually seen one in weeks.

Wasn't there a song called gel a while back? Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, let's gel. Maybe that song would hold some sort of useful insight?

I based an entire away message around my hatred of the Doctor Scholls commercials.

Agreed about the Six Flags guys. His arms flail about like a muppet dancing.

Jamie, I like the MUSIC, just not the creepy old man.

It looks like his faceflesh is about to fall off any second.

And YES to the weird muppet-arm thing!

Gah.

I could care less about the "gellin'" commercials,

My family and I, however, once spent a memorable week on vacation in Dallas and loved Six Flags. The commercials bring back good memories.

The song is "Gel" by Collective Soul. Relevant lyrics:

Color me any color
Speak to me in tongues and share
Tell me how you'd love to hate me
Tell me how you'd love to care
Well I just want to shake us up
Let's mingle
And make it well
Come together now
Yeah let's gel
Clothe me in any fashion
Glitter to so mundane.


This song came out way before those commercials. I don't mind the commercials. I don't mind people bringing up the commercials and repeating the words in them. I do mind when you bring up the product being advertised because then you're trying to sell me something. But I'm having some water and a smile, because Coke is battery acid and when you say "Have a Coke and a smile" you're doing more advertising for them. [Wink] Ah, the power of the big corporations when they can insert their product into the national consciousness...

I also have not heard of "gellin'" but not because I have upgraded to TiVo. I wasn't sure if this was the coronal affricate g or palatal stop g. If the latter, I wondered if it had to do with folks who are way to interested in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
