Jerry Seinfeld has remarked “Why is it that his is so gellin?”

I tried those Dr. Scholl’s gel inserts once. Pure and utter crap. Absolutely not worth the $10 or so they wanted for them. I will never “gel” again.

What exactly should I be gellin’?  
There are no hairs on my melon.

I’m so gellin’, I’m havin’ trubble spellin’.

Which is more sad- that those nimrods have nothing better to discuss at a party except their dime-store inserts, or that there’s some clown who wants to be like them, yet cannot?

There are no words to describe how much I would like to disembowel the invertebrate, llama-screwing, rat colon-infesting bastards who have foisted this painfully moronic exercise in rhyming brainfucking upon the general public with (I can’t decide) a rusty melon baller or some enraged, rabid, criminally insane Africanized bees.

My lawyers advise me that doing so would be a gellin’ felony, or assault with a gellin’ deadly weapon.

Carrot Top and Jared from Subway are next.

Now hold on! I agree the commercials are annoying, but I cannot possibly ever get mad at someone who has the strength of will to lose so much weight and _keep it off_. If you wanna get Jared, you’re gonna have to go through … um … this fellow named Rincewind first!!!

I just ran a report of some alumni names here.

At the top of the list: Mr. Jellig.  
At the bottom: Mr. Yellen.

“Quit Yellen, I’m Jellig!”

But Ellen is so hot!

She may be gellin’  
But I’m tellin’  
You that a book best sellin’  
Featuring her ass ‘tis compellin’  
She & I in a unit single-dwellin’  
Together. She’d be dispellin’  
My chastity; fortellin’  
My appetibility; no rebellin’  
From my amenity.
