Bubble Gum Interview- Eric Gage
Just when you thought you knew your favorite bloggers, along comes the Bubble Gum Interviews. We ask the really tough questions about things like food preferences, high school stories and favorite hair products. Today’s victim is my friend Eric Gage who is a fellow Texan. Eric practices commercial real estate and loves it (and swears to me it’s not cutthroat as I experienced it to be… weirdo).
Tell us about one of your scars.
Scars? I don’t have any scars…I wasn’t an accident prone kid growing up, and to this day I don’t do anything that I can get hurt on. Well, I try not to, and if I have to do some heavy manual labor then I will have to hire that out. Oh wait…kindergarten I got chickenpocks. I have a small little bity scar now to the right of my belly button…still there, but slowly going away…does this count?
Have you ever gone drag racing in Houston (or somewhere else)?
See above on the accident prone…no drag racing for me! Wait…I live in Houston, Texas and every freeway is a drag race I thought!
Why is UT better than TSU (fka SWT)? Oh wait… did you go to SWT? My bad… just answer the question!
Yes, I went to SWT or TSU now! I hate the name change, but you didn’t ask that. Still a bitter subject. However, just because UT is larger doesn’t make it better. Though, if you went to SWT you were either a UT fan or a A&M fan…I happen to be a UT fan so it will be hard to say anything bad. I am a devoted UT football watcher every Saturday despite their losses! GO SW(U)T!!
Who would you rather arm wrestle- Chuck Norris with his bulging muscles or Brittney Spears with her insanity?
Oh, you haven’t seen my Popeye’s have you? I can blow them up as if they were arm floaties for a child to make them bigger! Oh to answer your question…I can’t arm wrestle Britney Spears…she may win! Come on with it Norris!
Which of the following have you done: ballet (for football n stuff), bowling or archery?
Ummm..you don’t want me doing football or archery! I will have to choose bowling! Why? I took it in college and received an “A”! That sure helped my GPA!
Have you ever run in a marathon for a cause?
I have done a relay for the American Heart Association, but I think that was in elementary school! Now, I just donate…but easier and less work on my part! But it’s funny that you asked, because I do want to do one in the near future. How near I am not sure, but until then I will keep donating to the causes! My causes that I am partial to is the Susan B. Komen Breast Cancer, American Cancer Society and Lance Armstrong.
******************
So, there you have it. Eric is scared of adventure that might harm his pretty mug (awww), is jealous that I went to UT and have alumni seats, has officially threatened Chuck Norris’ manhood and donates money instead of running because feet blisters just aren’t sexy, y’all! Now that you really know Eric, what do you think?

When did SWTSU change names? Have I been gone from Austin that long?? Lordy, I need to visit and re-charge.
Another great interview! Thanks Eric! (and Lani)
I’m just glad you didn’t ask about scars in my interview…

SWT began the name change campaign in 02, finalized in 04. No one here likes calling it “Texas State University” and most of us still don’t understand what people mean when someone says TSU. Boo.
Yes, visit. Now. Now now now.
I’m glad you weren’t asked about scars too if that one got your interest…
Isn’t Eric funny? I LOVE the inflatable arms answer best! Eric’s a good sport

Yeah, I stopped at the scars question too (although not personally asked). I can’t imagine not having any. They’re like old friends. I just look at a sharp edge and I scar. My husband says my arms look like I was a knife fighter before selling real estate. I’ve already got scars on top of scars at this point and I’m still somewhat young. How do you go through life without being marked? Blows my mind.
Hi Eric! Glad to meetcha, you crazy no-scar man.

Ahhhh…and there were comments about this too? Wait! Why is everyone thinking about my body? It’s taking me 29 years to keep this chisseled body and you guys talk about a small scar! ha..just kidding!
This was fun Lani..thanks for asking me (even though you asked me ions ago to do it and ions ago)
Jay — You need to pay Texas a visit soon! There’s a lot of changes here! I know the tropical islands can’t possibly compare to the serene sounds of nature and cow patties! Well in Lani’s town…I live close to skyscapers! ha
Kelley — do you cook? If you get scars that easy I am feeling sorry for your husband right now…we have to keep knives away from you…isn’t there a term for that? haha…jk! Thank you for your kind words…love reading your blogs! Maybe one day ReRevealed will host a blogging reunion in the pastures so we can all meet — and get Jay back home!

Dude, I am still trying to get past the fact that you managed to find one single scar by your b-button- amazing. But you know, karma is a bitch and now that you’ve bragged about your bod either you’re gonna get fat or you have a skinned knee coming… I’m not sure which you’ll pick…

I can’t imagine anyone not having scars. Maybe I’m just too darn country as I have quiet a few all on the same leg! Four-wheeling and chainsaws are the tools of scaring choice for me it seems.
TSU: Those of us from East Carolina have known them folks for quiet a while now. Bowl Game loss - ugh.
