I need a human jello mold chef


I have a large container in my backyard which is big enough for me to stand in, and comes to my shoulders. What I’m hoping to do is get myself into this tub, whereupon you will then add the necessary ingredients to make a large batch of jello with me in the center of it. Ideally I would be naked inside the tub, but if that makes you uncomfortable, I can definitely wear a banana hammock or one of those old school one piece bathing suits that men used to wear in the 1920s. You will be compensated for your trouble to the tune of $350, and I will supply all of the jello.

Well, let’s see … what are the “necessary ingredients” to make Jell-O?

1. Lots and lots of Jello-O™ powder.
2. Lots and lots of boiling water.

I don’t see any potential problems with this plan at all.

      Hey, no “dis” on pecan sandies! Just because the recipe only works by using real lard and real flour and real sugar, and any replacements cause a product all too similar to non-expanding grout . . .

    After the boiling water comes the ice cubes, and this can only be done on a day when the temps will be 40 degrees or below or the Jell-O won’t set up properly. This is going to be fun!

      Meh….that’s why Sparky’s next ad was for a pallet, a forklift, and a cold storage unit. Also, I’m seeing the Jello in layers. Lots and lots of layers.

      [corey] You can rapid-set jello by mixing ice cubes with the boiling water. If the jello was mixed this way before pouring into Sparky’s enclosure he would avoid the burns and it might just soft-set around him, if it was a cold day.

      Of course, he’s then going to probably die from skin suffocation and hypothermia, but that’ss not OUR problem. 😀 [/corey]

        They make a brain mould for jello–which Sparky may have already used . . . just before being left out in the rain in MacArthur Park . . .

          But, I was recently distracted by using an alginate to make coffee “caviar” which would probably awful if served on “toasts” made from sweet-roll dough . . .

      “Taint-Jello” sounds like a Pussy Galore cover band that plays while hermaphrodites wrestle in Jell-o.

    You know, I am surprised no one has commented on the fact that this person is speciesist: human jello mold chef. Why does the chef have to be human? Why not a mandrill, or a manatee? If they can make molded gelatin treats, why the discrimination?

      Well, since Sparky didn’t, we can collect the words to our whim.
      “Human Jello” is going to require cooking down human “hooves” . . .
      Ergo, Spark wants Soylent Green jello?

      “Mold Chef” does rather suggest a very specific gastronomy . . .

      Were it “mould chef” that would be different. “Mould” refers to scribing, carving, or otherwise machining shapes. Which would leave us with “chef” in its Indo-European sense as the precursor to “Chief.” (Our modern use of “chef” to mean “cook” comes from the French title “chef d’Cusine” or head of the kitchen.

      Hmm . . . so, sparky wants Hannibal Lecter’s master mould-maker? Nah, that can’t go wrong . . .

    Ok, after following (even knowing better) the twisted logic of we here, as we speculate on the infinite Gordian knot which is Sparkylogic, well, I have a worry.

    That worry is that Sparky has got it in mind to make a “quiet” twin of himself. having priced bulk latex and similar skin-like products, he’s settled upon jello to cast hi doppleganger.

    Now, the fact that Sparky wrote the ad as if he is to be cast into jello may reflect a misunderstanding of how one makes mould patterns.

    Or Sparky really does want some one to come and Dexter him by drowning in boiling jello.

    I really need to think of something other than lost-wax casting Sparkies . . . og, look, Actuarial Statistics! [saved]

    So… I was thinking. If he would like to be naked, but would also do it in a 20s style bathing suit (ie pretty much clothed) and the chef gets the same money either way, would anyone choose the naked option?!
    Unless they have a fantasy about putting a naked person in jello to match his fantasy about being put in jello, I guess. There’s a lid for every pot, they say…

        Does a pool full of jello smell like cherry or rainbow?

        Does a pool full of jello hold a naked man AND a honey badger?

        How fast can a naked man move in a pool of jello with a honey badger chasing him?

        How many steps does it take before a naked man can walk ON TOP of jello if a honey badger is chasing him?
