For when you'd like something harder

For those who think they can manage it, there's a trebuchet at one end of the bar and a conical target at the other.

Stick your head in through the open end of the cone and have your friend fire BGSs at you from a distance, to see if you can get them in your mouth.

Misses gather in the cone, to be collected at the end of the firing practice.

So you want to imbibe a shotglass full of a substance scientifically callibrated to simulate the texture (well, resistance to projectiles, at least) of human flesh?

eeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwww.

You mean, you'd like your shots delivered to you from a distance, by an air cannon? Harder, meaning harder to catch?
-- Jim Bob of Merriam Park, Sep 14 2009


Meaning: Set to a tougher consistency than wussy Jell-o shots, combined with the fact they might be fired at patrons, if they so desire.
-- UnaBubba, Sep 14 2009


What in god's green earth is a jell-o shot? Is this some sort of alcoholic nightmare for American children?
-- MaxwellBuchanan, Sep 14 2009


Bingo. Sorority sisters, by definition, make fantastic ones. The talent supersedes any other culinary expertise in many circles. It's entertaining to see a young girl's pride sloshed down the gullets of strangers in minutes, her anguished face fighting gravity as she realizes hard work seldom pays off, and vodka drinkers often leave without saying thank you or goodbye..

Ee gods and little fishes. This is beyond the pale.
-- MaxwellBuchanan, Sep 14 2009


So... you want to chew your booze?
-- 21 Quest, Sep 14 2009


It wouldn't have to be chewed. You could ingest it in suppository form, [21Q].
-- UnaBubba, Sep 14 2009


^^^ new conversational low. well done.
-- Custardguts, Sep 14 2009


Well hold a sec now... can alcohol *be* ingested analine?
-- 21 Quest, Sep 15 2009


I don't see why not. Some pretty heavy duty anaesthetics can de delivered via suppository, especially for kidney pain. Some people take recreational drugs by suppository, too.

Alcohol should be no different, especially if it's in a gel block.
-- UnaBubba, Sep 15 2009


I'm surprised you didn't google that [21], there's a whole subculture nowadays.
-- zeno, Sep 15 2009


It's not something I *want* to search for. I'd be too afraid of the pictures that might come up. On an intellectual, conversational, and slightly twisted level it's a fascinating subject. On a practical, go out and do it level, not so much. And certainly not for me.

I read that neo-shamans in parts of mexico have crossed over to rectal delivery for many of their intoxicants. Which the plant entities must be a little miffed about. I would, if I were a plant entity.

'Analine' is a dye, or very close to an amino acid, 21.
-- daseva, Sep 15 2009


See, now that I know it's about shooting my alcohol at me, I like this idea. [+]
-- kaz, Sep 15 2009


+I like it, I love jello shots!
-- xandram, Sep 15 2009


//'Analine' is a dye//
sp. "aniline"
-- AbsintheWithoutLeave, Sep 15 2009


It is a little unbelievable that analine isn't a word. It looks like one. Apologies to the pedantrists.
-- daseva, Sep 15 2009


// pedantrists //

"pedantrists" isn't a proper word. "Pedants" or "Those who are pedantic" would be correct.
-- 8th of 7, Sep 15 2009


//analine//

The word you were looking for is "intra-rectally"
-- lurch, Sep 15 2009


Or even "anally", for that matter.

I see the error made and simply let it pass. I've grown tired of attempting to teach [21Q], and others, the meaning of words and the purpose of grammar.
-- UnaBubba, Sep 15 2009


Bibs for everyone...I'm buying a round for the bar! Get the flinger ready bar-keep, I'm out for a fine time tonight.

Oh yeah, and hand me my helmet too!++++++Yahooo
-- blissmiss, Sep 15 2009


Yes, I know you wanted 'Pedantic'. Don't give 'em what they want, paw always used to say....

Anyways, 'intra-rectal' is not correct, [Lurch]. In the drug delivery world, the route of administration is simply known as 'rectal'. This is because it is understood that the drug will be passing through the walls of the rectal cavity, and thus there is no need for inter/intra clarification.
-- daseva, Sep 15 2009


I'm having a hard time swallowing this one.
-- tatterdemalion, Sep 15 2009


Hey, the whole trebuchet idea of this just got a lot better if the point is to moon the person who's shooting alcohol at you.
-- Sparkyplugclean, Sep 15 2009


Like rubber bullets? Ouch!
-- UnaBubba, Sep 16 2009


//'intra-rectal' is not correct// You may be right, [daseva], but I sure see it used a lot. Particularly in the case of liquids (or a gas, even) where you need a tube. A solid, or gel, or what not - suppository, I suppose - something that just gets crammed in goes "per rectum", which is the source of the abbreviation "PR".

At least, that seems to be the usage that I've seen.
-- lurch, Sep 16 2009


gonna have to change the phrase "belly up to the bar" somewhat...
