Runaway Bob

Filed under: Uncategorized — Bob Gentry @ 5:26 pm

Some days are better left UN-Blogged.

Actually, I’m running late and I am out of time for such things. I just know that I won’t have time to write later …so before my family starts sending out a Runaway Bride type search party wondering why there’s a missing blog entry, I figured I’d put a little something down.

Have a great night….I’m alive…and everything else is GRAVY.

I think everyone should respond to your blog to see if we can set a record for responding to an un-blogged blog. Nice teeth but something’s kinda weird about your eyes. Are you wearing contacts??

Everything else is gravy? What does that mean? I’ve never heard that expression. I’m assumming it has something to do with something runny and brown? You got the runs? Is that why you’re “running late?”

GRAVY is the extra good stuff….like the frosting on the cake.
I like GRAVY!

Haven´t heard it either :) You´re alive and everything else is gravy? Given your explanation you are happy you are alive and everything from that point, like having a nice singing voice, is the extra good stuff? I would like some gravy too. :)

you got it Ralph ;-)
anything more than just being alive is a bonus :)

I didn’t know this expression wasn’t that well known…..maybe it’s a michigan thing? I’ll have to ask the Michigan buddies to see if it’s a saying they know as well.

Sometimes too much gravy can make you fat though….specially in the eyes 8)

Is this when the running away kicks in in order to loose weight again?

i’ve heard the “everything is gravy” saying before. it’s “midwest” like “pop” (as opposed to soda.)

we use the “gravy” expression in indiana. perhaps it’s a midwestern/great lakes thing.

i never thought about it until now, but i frequently use the expression “good to go” in place of the gravy expression.

Gravy as in riding the Gravy Train - meaning you are onto a good thing.
Are those the new ultra UV filtering, fashion consious sunglasses you are wearing there?? :)

Gravy is always good. :) Just saw you left a comment on my blog! Oops my bad. How rude am I? And plus, how jealous am I you met Scott Bakula??? Aaaargh. I only got to meet the boring people like Julian Lennon, and a bunch of Aussie music stars. Hmph. Nice to see you’re still struggling..I mean, watching Lost. You’re a better man than me, Gunga Din. (well, seeing as your’e a man, and I’m not, I guess that goes without saying, doesn’t it now? Heh.) Btw, I went by your cd site and had a listen to the first track (on dialup, so will check out the others on the weekend) and dude! You can SING! That is mighty fine stuff there, my friend. Now, all I gotta do is work out how I’m gonna be able to buy it from all the way over here in Australia (damn this not having a credit card business!)

Jaki! Thanks so much!
no worries about any delay on a reply to a comment…i do my best to reply to all that i can and yet a few slip by.

Yeah..with LOST…i was taken off track when Desperate Housewives came to DVD…now i’m hooked on that :-D

my shameful plug…CDbaby.com takes checks :-P
I always push people to places like itunes or napster though if i can ;)

By the way..I’d LOVE to have meet Julian Lennon!

ooo sneaky…:)
I’m working on either international money order (if my small town post office even knows what it is) or paypal (and man, have you ever tried to sign up at paypal without using a credit card?? took me 25 minutes to work out how to add a bank account instead…sheesh)
And Julian Lennon was ok - not very interesting, but then, he could have been having an off night. Was more interested in meeting James Blundell (australian country singer) as the man just ooooozes sex! Heh. And the Doug Anthony AllStars - aussie comedy trio who drew penises all over the poster I was buying for my brother when I told htem he was selling his sperm for money to get through university. :)

yeah..paypal can be tricky :)
thankfully I haven’t had to sell sperm…yet. Though I don’t think i’d make much money doing that LOL :)
in fact…they might pay me NOT to give it (grin)

I’ll make sure you have plenty of gravy for Turkey Day. I want to see if your eyes really get like that. I do recall when you were about 5 or 6, we were in the pool and you flipped off the raft and when you came up, your eyes were bigger that that! LOL

Comment by Bob Gentry
2005-09-28 13:38:40

I’ve heard the “everything else is gravy” comment around the south. Bug-eyed Runaway Bob photo is funny. Was this the hangover look or after the look after you finished unraveling your knitting so more.

naw…my eyes would have been bloodshot if so ;)

ok…good to know i’m not the only one who’s heard the Gravy expression. Also hard to think that many have not heard it …interesting stuff
