In most places, commenting on a post so that it will have greater visibility in a given forum would be called "bumping" or "bump to the top" (bttt), but here that's considered reminiscent of Free Republic (where they do it all the time) so we say kick instead, as in donkey kick.

by seagulls who turned the locusts into green jello. Manna from heaven so to speak.

on edit: I was wrong.
this is what SLATE says it means.

"In adopting and making Jell-O “their” food, Mormons (or Lutherans or Methodists) are making a statement about their identity, accepting all of the food’s positive connotations of family-friendliness, child-centeredness, and domesticity. Outsiders, in contrast, often look in and see Jell-O as a mark of a lack of taste that renders this group strange, immature, and ultimately mockable."
