Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 25 Jan 05 - 09:57 PM Kudos for Guest. Wavy Gravy's real name is Hugh Romney. He used to do comedy routines at the Gaslight Cafe in Greenwich Village in the early 60's, back when Paul Stookey was Noel Stookey (the people who put Peter, Paul and Mary together didn't think Peter, Noel and Mary had the right ring to it and Momma Cass was singing as part of the Big Three. He did a particularly funny monologue about Noah that I'd love to hear again. He was also in the movie documentary about Woodstock. Jerry |

Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 25 Jan 05 - 09:05 PM No, it wasn't Wavy Gravy collecting unemployment. He's never really been employed, has he? Maybe you're thinking about Gravy Crockett. |

Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: GUEST Date: 25 Jan 05 - 08:50 PM In Austin, Texas, Wavy Gravy was in the audience at a Kate Wolf concert I have on a video. I don't recall his real name. And I do think he was a part of Hunter Thompson's road show as well. Or was it Ken Kesey's road show?? Art |

Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: Bill D Date: 25 Jan 05 - 07:29 PM well, I'm curious to know if anyone else remembers "Scram gravy ain't wavy" |

Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 25 Jan 05 - 07:06 PM No, Poppa.. that was wavy gravy (just to see if anyone remembers who wavy gravy was.. Jerry |

Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: Bill D Date: 25 Jan 05 - 05:58 PM a "veteranarian" could spell it. |

Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: PoppaGator Date: 25 Jan 05 - 05:51 PM I heard that Monkey Gravy was collecting unemployment.... |

I am going to tell the police your screen name and they will be able to figure out who you are!!!!! I am a vegetarian and a veteranarian so I am very against what foul sin you are performing! Sick bastard!!!!!!!!!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 12 Jan 05 - 09:37 PM Since, in certain unwashed circles, a female's genitalia is sometimes referred to as her "monkey", wouldn't that make "monkey gravy" the same substance sometimes referred to in those same unwashed circles as "panty gravy"? If so, yes, it does work. (God! It's so nice to have a working computer again so my mind can get back in the gutter where it belongs.) |

Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: robomatic Date: 12 Jan 05 - 08:53 PM Liz, I heard that song millions of miles ago on Dr. Demento (a long running syndicated radio show of over twenty years standing). I've been looking for a recording of it for years. I never heard of the Goodies till I did a lyric search in honor of this thread a few hours ago. Is it a commonly known lyric in Blighty? |

Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: Little Hawk Date: 12 Jan 05 - 03:47 PM No, I think it's a rare glimpse into the lives of the upper, upper classes, the natural rulers of society, the sort of people you see going by in stretch limousines with darkened windows or in Rolls Royces. It's meant to be taken very, very seriously. These people are valuable role models to aspire to for we, the unwashed masses. That's my take on it. When you see a person like Penelope Rutledge, who, despite her exalted position in society, is still filled with compassion for the poor and downtrodden, you can't help but be affected by it. |

Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: John MacKenzie Date: 12 Jan 05 - 03:39 PM Don't get the Penelope Rutledge Twillingsgate thing, if it's meant to be funny it's failed miserably. Giok |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: Little Hawk Date: 12 Jan 05 - 03:33 PM Yeah, and it's because I suspect you are secretly in love with Penelope Rutledge. |

Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: Rapparee Date: 12 Jan 05 - 03:30 PM LH, you simply incorrige me. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: Little Hawk Date: 12 Jan 05 - 02:57 PM LOL! Great Gibbon lyric. Rapaire - I was wrong. It is you who are incorrigible. Spaw is incontinent. :-) Or incompetent. Or both. |

Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: Liz the Squeak Date: 12 Jan 05 - 02:44 PM As for the title - ~Monkey Gravy - Does it work? Depends on what you are using it for.... if it's for polishing the car, probably not. LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: Liz the Squeak Date: 12 Jan 05 - 02:27 PM Why did I think we could get away without the Goodies Gibbon song? I am deeply ashamed to admit this, but I have that, and all their other singles somewhere in the house..... LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: robomatic Date: 12 Jan 05 - 01:57 PM STUFF THAT GIBBON from "The Goodies" ----------------- Take that gibbon by the hand Listen to the rhythm of the band Slap him up and down upon the floor Tickle his feet and hear him giggle Then unzip him down the middle Give that gibbon what he's hollerin' for (Chorus) Ohh, stuff that gibbon, ohh, stuff that gibbon Ohh, stuff that gibbon now!...* Ohh, stuff that gibbon , ohh, stuff that gibbon Ohh, stuff that gibbon now! * Promenade the gibbon round the hall Bounce him up and down like a rubber ball Drop him on the floor and trample on his toes Swing him by the tail from the chandelier Happy with a hamster in his ear All he needs is a ferret up his nose (Chorus) |

Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: Bill D Date: 11 Jan 05 - 09:20 PM some of them, the ones too smart to run all the way to Idaho, went south to hide in a famous retreat....you know...Mammoth Cave. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: Little Hawk Date: 11 Jan 05 - 08:44 PM GAAAJJJHHH! Thanks for nothing, Art. Rapaire, I SAID Ohio. Yes, he's in Ohio. But don't underestimate the range of this WMD. With a strong East wind blowing, the mammoths could run all the way from Ohio to Idaho, I'm guessing. |

Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: GUEST,Art Thieme Date: 11 Jan 05 - 08:39 PM I got this from Simeon and Garfunkel once when I opened for them. It's a French recipe. Take a few large monkeys. Roll them in freah steaming horse merde. Dig a six foot pit. Along the bottom of the pit line it with glowing hot coals. Put a layer of gravel over that. Place as many coated monkeys as you have on the gravel. Cover with cans of Campbell's mushroom soup and dry onion soup mix. Maybe some ketchup. Cover that with palm fronds Then another layer of gravel. More palm fronds. Fill the rest of the pit with mattresses. Allow to bake a long time---maybe 3 or 4 weeks--even months. Remove the layers. (I'm trying to hurry 'cause I need the bathroom.) Crack off the dried horse merde with a stout baseball bat. Then, throw away the monkeys and eat the merde. Art Thieme |

Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: Rapparee Date: 11 Jan 05 - 08:11 PM I thought Spaw was in Ohio. |

Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: Little Hawk Date: 11 Jan 05 - 05:51 PM Mammoth stampedes, and stampedes of other large ungulates, happen every time Spaw lets a really vile one go. You can see it on satellite clearly. As the prevailing winds sweep across Ohio, millions of terrified animals move in a panicked wave, fanning out ahead of the "storm front". Something should really be done about him. I have recommended Beano, but he doesn't listen. He's incorrigible. |

Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: Cluin Date: 11 Jan 05 - 04:02 PM Monkey Gravy is yet another slang term for semen. So, yeah, it often works. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: Bill D Date: 11 Jan 05 - 03:56 PM see...THAT'S what happens when Bush increases the tariff on imported Mammoth wool! Now the poor buggers will be in fear of their nice warm coats in that cold clime. They'll be hiding up in the trees next! |

Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: Rapparee Date: 11 Jan 05 - 03:02 PM 'Tis just as well my hunt was cut short last evening. I read in the paper this morning that the VERY SPOT where I was going to put a monkey blind was trampled by a herd stampedeing Wooly Mammoths shortly after I was there. |

Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: Little Hawk Date: 11 Jan 05 - 02:44 PM Best to deflea the monkey first. This can be done with a flamethrower. |

Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: artbrooks Date: 11 Jan 05 - 02:38 PM Golly, Rapaire...here you got me thirsty, and I went off to make myself some truffle rice tea. Then I had to go back and read you last contribution over again and realized my mistake. Anyway, there are certainly a number of good receipes for monkey gravy here, but you do need to find something other than a monkey to pour it over...if you don't kill the little bugger first, he'll be pissed (or pissing). And if you decide to cook him -- as far as I remember, they have about the consistency of a mouthfull of rubber bands. |

Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: pdq Date: 11 Jan 05 - 01:42 PM Sorry to report but Chongo Chimp's brother Bongo was behaving badly and had to be taken away by the authorities. He was placed in the Hairy Simian Corral near Coeur D'Alene and forced to listen to "The little Drummer Fu**ing Boy" twenty four hours a day until he cracked. They could tell he had gone insane when he tried to swing from sagebrush branches. We are uncertain at this time about the prognosis for survival, but his last request was to visit the Reagan Library. |

Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: GUEST,Evil Man-Hating Monkey Date: 11 Jan 05 - 12:58 PM Shame on you guys. still obsessed about primative phallic weapons and establishing dominance. Read about the sacred Balinese monkey and weep for your own inadequacy. |

Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: Little Hawk Date: 11 Jan 05 - 12:34 PM Heh! What a wonderful thread. I must thank Rapaire for inspiring me to launch it. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: GUEST,Rapaire Date: 11 Jan 05 - 08:51 AM After this thread was started, and after work, I took my trusty rifle (which is never a trifle rusty) and went out hunting monkeys. I thought that I'd experiment, maybe post some new recipes here. Well, them little beggars are damned shy! I musta tramped through half of Southeastern Idaho and didn't see but one, and that was in the local zoo. They git downright testy out here iffen you shoot anything that's in the zoo, even if you ask real polite. I thought about finding their waterhole and setting up a blind, like you do for ducks, but it was getting dark and cold and the snow is about a foot deep. Just then I saw the Game Warden coming and I quick hid my rifle and looked out eastward. I don't know what the rules are in Idaho about hunting monkeys in January, and I certainly didn't want to find out. Anyway, he slogged up to me (that's what you do through snow, you slog) and asked to see my hunting license, which of course I don't have one of. I told him I wasn't hunting, but he'd been watching me for about a hour and had me dead to rights. He also reached out and pulled my rifle and game bag out from hiding. "What's these then?" he asked. "Hey! That's my trusty rifle and my gamebag!" I replied. "I lost them last fall when I was elk hunting over in Wyoming! I wonder how they got here, 'cause I was hunting elk four hundred miles away." "Here," he said, and tossed them to me. "Next time you want to go poach game you'd best put a flint in the lock and some powder in the pan. Or use something besides a flintlock. What in the world were you hunting for, anyway?" "Monkeys." "In Idaho? In January?" And he laughed, which hurt my feelings, but he quieted down, mostly, and gave me a cup of hot coffee, which didn't hurt my feelings. "Why, if I may ask," he queried, "were you hunting monkeys?" So I explained about this thread and how I wanted the monkeys to test out gravy recipes and all. He motioned me into the car and drove me home. He didn't say a word the whole way, and when we got there he reached over, opened the door, and let me out. I watched him from my window. He was outside my house for a long time, beating his head on the roof of his car, gazing off in the mountains, and then beating his head on the roof again. I don't know when he drove off. |

Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: Folkiedave Date: 10 Jan 05 - 07:24 PM Based on the late and very lamented Tony Capstick's recipe. Take one monkey - boil in cheap whisky for three hours. Drink the juice. Dave |
