Mark Coppenger Read Blue Like Jazz and Now He’s Mad!

Coppenger’s point entitled Blue Like Berry Blue Jello: The content of this book is like “nailing jell-o to the wall,” Coppenger says. “He’s so all over the place. It’s stream of consciousness theology. Whatever one feels is good, wherever you want to go with it is fine. It’s everywhere and nowhere all at once.

Don’s Response: “Okay, I’ve figured it out. If you freeze it, you can actually nail it to the wall, but it won’t stay cause it thaws. But technically, it can be nailed to the wall, but it only stays for about three minutes. Do I get a point?”

Score: Coppenger 3, Miller 2. (Our ruling is that Jell-o is only Jell-o if it is served at the temperature specified on the box. Freezing it, then, places it into the ice family, and we do not consider this Jell-o. Once it thaws, it is no longer nailable. Point: Coppenger, until we feel like changing our minds.)

AND THE WINNER IS…

Coppenger won this one. Crap nuts. Mark, please send us your address and we will mail you a beer. And thanks for taking a book containing cartoons so seriously.
