Subject: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: Little Hawk Date: 10 Jan 05 - 11:54 AM I need to find out for a recipe for the next folk concert here. We are trying to attract more audience, and I think this might work. |

Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: rumanci Date: 10 Jan 05 - 12:00 PM it might depend on how big the stirring spoon is *bg* |

Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: SINSULL Date: 10 Jan 05 - 12:03 PM 1 monkey, flayed and gutted 2 tablespoons flour 1 cup broth giblets ground salt pepper dash white wine Roast one monkey. In drippings stir two wablespoons of flour with a whisk until totally incorporated. Let cook for two minutes while constantly stirring. Then slowly add chicken broth or monkey broth if you have had the foresight to cook the giblets. Last add ground up giblets, a little salt to taste and a grinding of fresh pepper. A touch of white wine will round out the flavor. |

Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: TheBigPinkLad Date: 10 Jan 05 - 12:35 PM Anything to help the OT suppression: Monkey's Blood in the north of England is what the icecream man calls raspberry syrup. I think you just boil raspberries with sugar. Monkey gravy may be the same thing or may be more traditional gravy made by rendering a rhesus money (Macaca mulatta)and paying careful attention to ameliorating the hirsute texture. Then again it may just be a euphemism for boy germs. |

Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: PoppaGator Date: 10 Jan 05 - 12:36 PM Would a chimp or orangutang be an acceptable substitute?

Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 10 Jan 05 - 01:13 PM When I was in college, I worked in the Primate Lab at the University of Wisconsin, testing monkeys. There was a particularly unpleasant Rhesus monkey who had perfected a backward flip. When a new, unsuspecting victim came up to rattle his cage (Which thread should this go in?) the monkey would do a neat back flip, perfectly timing a rectal projectile into the stunned viseage of the victim. On second thought, maybe Rhesus Pieces wouldn't be such a good idea.. Jerry |

Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: Bill D Date: 10 Jan 05 - 01:34 PM when I lived in Wichita, Jerry, the tiny local zoo had a Celebes Macaque(called Charley) who had no use for acrobatics...he just hated people and would poop and pelt! His aim was pretty good, too. They finally put a finer mesh wire around the lower part of his cage, which 'reduced' the effect. It was for awhile a form of entertainment for some folks to bring unsuspecting friends to the zoo soon after feeding hour and tell them to "call out to that big monkey on the end"....then stand WAY back. I expect there were MANY who would have cheerfully used any recipe on 'ol Charlie. |

From: Pied Piper Date: 10 Jan 05 - 01:59 PM In Josiah Windburns classic 1772 book "The Simian Gourmand" he recommends Truffles as the only accompaniment strong enough to counter the scribulous and pulinatory aspects of the flesh of the Primates. For wine he recommends a brutal Port such as Don Creosote. PP |

Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 10 Jan 05 - 02:21 PM That's what their coffee tastes like to me, Bert. Many, many years ago when I was working on an assembly line at a Fisher Body plant (making bodies for Chevrolets) I was working with a big, likeable but hopelssly obtuse young kid from Northern Wisconsin. I smoked cigars once in awhile in those days, and gave him one. We got onto the subject of how disgusting a cigar was when it was mostly smoked down, and he claimed that he could cut the smoked end of the cigar down and chew it like chewing tobacco. He was much for macho. Just to prove it, he cut the ashes off the end of the cigar he'd finished smoking and chewed the end. We're talking every know shade of green, here. Oh yea, his last name was Starbucks. (only kidding about that last line..) Jerryt |

Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: Rapparee Date: 10 Jan 05 - 04:00 PM I was going to start this thread and share my recipe for monkey gravy, but things happened and I didn't get to do it. I didn't get 5555 on MOAB, either. The lottery ticket I didn't buy didn't win. SINSULL's recipe sounds lots better than mine. But I can answer the last part of this thread's name: Yes, if you make the right light roux right |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Monkey Gravy - Does it work? From: Bert Date: 10 Jan 05 - 04:17 PM Yup Jerry, Starbucks is about the only coffee I have been unable to drink. And I've had some pretty bad stuff at truck stops. I remember about three o'clock one morning I pulled into this truck stop and started pouring some coffee, the woman said "hey that's been stewing a while I'll make you some fresh" I said "That's OK I need something strong" so she didn't charge me. It was still better than the one and only cup I ever tried at Starbucks. Why do people buy the stuff??? Rap, you use a DARK roux for monkey gravy. |

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: Rapparee Date: 11 Jan 05 - 08:11 PM I thought Spaw was in Ohio. |

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 |

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: 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: 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: 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: 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.

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: 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 |
