Legislator wants to ban JELL-O shots, beer bongs, joy on MO rivers

He also wants to do away with kegs and Mardi Gras beads.

Must have been laughed at over at Party Cove.

[You're a Mean Drunk R2D2™]

This is what happens when a legislator gets laughed out of Party Cove for flashing his fun sized snicker.

[The Golfer]

That has to be at least a big part of it.

Rest, from canoeing some rivers around. We had one river that between rapids you had time to drink a pony beer. Remember those? Yes we had it down to the size of the beer.

lol

Once again, Big Brother trying to infiltrate all parts of our lives. Legislation should be directed at those that get intoxicated and out of hand, not those that just get intoxicated. And Mardi Gras beads? Give me a break. This notion that people can, and should, tell others how to live needs to stop. And go figure, its a Republican trying to pass this legislature

[Skippy]

Of course they should out-law this behavior. My teenage daughter observed some inappropriate activity in Party Cove once when she was with me last summer. This activity shouldn't be permitted, after all, I only stopped by for a couple cold beers and a quickie with my secretary before she had to leave early to pick her husband up at KCI that evening. My daughter saw a couple girls flash their hooters for beads – what a bad example for her to observe.

Skippy, ever thought about writing a letter to Penthouse? ;)

[Shifty]

Just for the operator of the boat. He/she should have to be stone sober.

Yes, they should not be mixed. Your out there to have a good time do the river in the day and drink at night in camp.

[Geronimo Jackson]

Skippy, had you ever been to Party Cove before you brought your daughter there? If so then shame on you because you should have known what goes on at the cove. By the way, exposing yourself in public is already outlawed. The woman that show themselves there are breaking the law and can be fined if caught just like it is when you break the law anywhere else. Also, you can't outlaw drinking. I think they tried that once and it didn't work out very well. If you can't outlaw drinking you can't outlaw forms of drinking such as Jello shots and beer bongs. The only thing they can do is take better measures to make sure those operating boats are not under the influence. The rules on the lake should be the same as they are for land lubbers.

[Shifty]

Apparently only the Skippy's entire post wasn't read carefully.

[Shifty]

Apparently I didn't proofread my post very well either. Gonna be one of those days.

[kck]

If this goes thru, it wont be worth going anymore because the drunk naked girls are the best part of it. Give them another beer.

[TRM]

While it's always fun to float down a beer and drink river, people need to be responsible as well. If beer bongs are banned, they'll just find another way to get drunk quickly. As far as bad/lewd behavior and public nudity, there are already laws in effect that cover this. From an ecology standpoint, banning plastics such as beads and jello containers on the rivers would be a good thing. I've fished so many out of the water and off trees over the years that they simply add up to river pollution due to factors such as peoples inability to throw/catch, drunken inconsideration, or lack of operational instructions on trash sacks. Please help keep our rivers clean and leave nothing behind!(Well maybe except for a few bodily fluids...)

[Readitright]

Geronimo, relax! I would guess that Skippy's tongue was well in his cheek for his posting. It's called sarcasm.

[Sid Vicious]

Yes.. nudity is the root of all evil..

Holy fucking god some of you people are repressed..

[Sasquach]

Just another redundant unneccesary law. BUI? Already a crime. Public intoxication? Already a crime. Indecent Exposure? Already a crime. But hey, who cares if many people can drink responsibly on the water. Laws need to be written to address the dumbest 5% of the population.

[Wisdom]

BTW....why is it ok for men to go topless but not for women?????

Hell no. Moron lemon-sucking control freak @$$ holes. Leave me alone! Live your own life and sod the hell off!

Apparently someone has already been hitting the beer bong today... ; )

[mom]

Skippy. you are an idiot. I've never been to party cove but I've heard of it. Shame on you for taking your child there. Grown ups should be allowed to do whatever they want with in the law. I swear some people don't need to have children. And did I read your post right? you stopped by to have a couple of beers with your secretary who had to pick up her hubby? Um yeah not getting that dad of the year award this year. As Fred Sanford us to say" You big dummy!"

[Tam]

OMG, people seriously...

You can't detect sarcasm when it is even that blatant? Maybe you shouldn't read blogs...

[Bigbabbs]

Skippy - you are funny. So I could get arrested for wearing and/or giving out Mardi Gras beads? How can that be charged "Beaded Under the Influence"; Beaded While Intoxicated" What the hell! I will surely stay away from those silly beads - it could lead to something very bad!

[You're a Mean Drunk R2D2™]

Who cares if people do jello shots or beer bongs in Party Cove. Heck, if I can sodomize my yorkie there, then they should be allowed to get wasted and flash their naughty bits.

[Kevin]

I banged a fat chick at party cove. I busted it in her & then pushed her off my boat & left. It was awesome.

[Geronimo Jackson]

Two follow up comments.

First of all, where did anyone pick up sarcasm from our friend Skippy's post? I am a big fan of sarcasm and use it often so I'd think that I'd be able to detect it when I read it. Just because someone’s comments are so stupid that we'd hope they were sarcastic doesn't make it so.

Second, I like the comment from TRM regarding the littering aspect of the Jello shots. People don't think about how those little cups can build up after time when they toss 'em in the water after tossing back there shots. We need stricter littering laws on the water, not laws restricting the types of booze that can be consumed.

[Geronimo Jackson]

*their shots -- please forgive the typo.

[Go to a sleazy bar if you want to drink and fight]

I love to float and I usually will go on out of the way rivers. I used to love floating the Niangua. Now I avoid it like the plague. Playing bumper boats with wasted, toothless, tatooed, idiots is no fun. The campgrounds are just as brutal. NRO campground will allow more people in than it can hold. You end up camping tent to tent with loud, retarded idiots that wont respect anybody, or anything.
I loved the Niangua growing up, but the party cove wanna be's have ruined it.

[DJ]

hey, Mr. bad example for your daughter to see two girls show there boobs when you are meeting your secretary, MARRIED secretary at that....wow

They should ban BOATS on lakes and rivers in Missouri. That would take care of all the problems ... then everyone would have to stand on shore to do their jello shots.

[Anti-Geronimo]

GJ-apparantly sarcasm has excaped you and so has reading. " I only stopped by for a couple cold beers and a quickie with my secretary..." Not just a couple of beers with her but some extra (this is where the sarcasm really takes place).
Second, in this enviroment we are worried about drinking on a river. Are flashing boobies a bad thing. People are loosing jobs and what would make them feel better but naked boobs. It works for me every time.In fact I feel bad about having to write this and need some naked boob time...

[You're a Mean Drunk R2D2™]

DJ. He was lucky to meet up with his secretary down there as she had an boat. But the secretary is really great with my son and gives him meds to make him go to sleep for when we hook up on my speedboat.

Good thing her husband is out of town alot and thinks she just goes there for the shopping.

[Joe Six-Pack]

Its not about anything or anybody, but the sponsoring politician's resume. This legilsator just wants to leave his/her scent on the system.

Amen Anti-Geronimo, Amen.... The world would be a better place with more naked boobs....

I would like to see a few more Family friendly rivers and if there is Nudity or excessive drinking you could be ticketed. And then have about 3-4 good rivers for the party crowd?

[AH]

Life is where you teach your children what not to do and point out reasons they should not be morons. You should not take your young ones to party cove but if something happens and is seen by the twirps point out why you think the person(s) are doing what they are doing and that is why you want them not to do whatever.

Good article about giving children free time from parents in today's paper. I wish more parents would give themselves a break. Perhaps less uptight, messed up people.

[Shifty]

Wow I just can't believe that another person didn't read Skippy's entire post. Maybe we could get the Star to put a radio button on the "Post A Comment" form. When clicked, "SARCASM" would flash in red letters when the comment was posted.

[AG]

You all know this article had nothing to do with Party Cove, right? So why are you all posting about it?

[me]

geronimo, you need to get laid my friend(sarcasm)

[cjack]

Blatant sarcasm at it's BEST Skippy! Glad I'm not wound so tight as to miss it!

[how sad]

I read these blogs often but never post - until now. I have always wondered where the drunk water idiots go when summer ends. I see some of you blog on kansascity.com. HINT -- I am not being sarcastic!

If you want to behave poorly -- go to party cove. Leave the rivers for the families.

BTW -- Guess I am one of the few who understand and appreciate Sarcasm. Thanks Skippy.

[Drew]

At first, I laughed my balls off (not literally, for clarification) when I read Skippy's post, but I started to have trouble reading it because the coke I was snorting off a hooker's a$$ was making my eye's water. Mind you, the vodka enema I was taking didn't help my vision, but the general idea I got was that Skippy is funny, and Geronimo is awesome (sarcasm, again for clarification).
More noteworthy is the attention that this Party Cove article is getting (no, it's not really about Party Cove, again for clarification).
Okay, gotta go--my smack dealer's at the front door, and if I don't let him "make use" of my wife and mother for a few hours, I may not ever see my son again (whom I put up as collateral for a couple of kilos).

Cheers!

AMEN! At last Missouri's rivers have finally reached the sh*thole status they are known for. I am a beer chugging, fun loving guy, but due to the last two canoeing experiences on Missouri rivers you could not pay me enough money to do it ever again. I think after the last time I started reconsidering my lack of CCW permit. It amazes me how people think that when their feet leave dry ground they are suddenly exempt from all the current laws.

"You all know this article had nothing to do with Party Cove, right? So why are you all posting about it?"

Some people have a difficult time understanding the differences between a LAKE and a RIVER.

[Kevin]

They both involve water, beer & nudity. What's better than that?

[Rick]

Beer bongs and jello shots should not be completely abolished. How about this. We could designate a couple rivers to the drunk crowd a couple months out of the year. The other months would be, no boobs, shots, bongs, fights, or idiots allowed.
I say this because I dont believe in banning everything in an effort to sanitize the world. Plus I know the river business's make thier $ from all this.
It just makes no sense when I see a Grandma and Grandpa with their 2 young grandkids trying to canoe through a logjam of tatooed roidheads that are drunk, screaming profanities and starting fights. It's worse than allowing little kids into a crappy, two-bit tavern.
Am I alone in this thinking?

[Nasty]

I'm kind of on the fence with this one. For example, beads are used for losers who normally wouldn't see boobs unless they find a drunk chick who would let those puppies free for a piece of $.50 plastic to show how proud she is of them. On the other hand, I personally like to see them in my tent after a day of sun and fun. Who cares if she only has one arm?
