I’ve Been Hooked From The Start
Posted by becca3416
Hello Flysters and happy Monday! Many of you may know today’s guest post author. He was mistaken as a stripper at the LaLaBec NYE Party. He is a legitimate author. He has seen many a hooker in his lifetime, but only from afar. He can handle any kind of baggage you throw at him, even emotional baggage. This guy has been one of the most devoted Flysters from the beginning. This guy faces his setbacks and never gives up on his dreams, so naturally we get along. He is my cheerleader, my supporter, clapper to my jokes, and most of all, my friend.
Please give a warm welcome to The Hook, because he is bragging on me, and that is much better than me bragging on me.
Also, here is an obligatory book plug: It’s true, I own my very own autographed copy of The Bellman Chronicles. It is sitting on my bed side table. Well, it isn’t really autographed, but maybe one day it will be. I haven’t been able to finish his book yet due to this thing called blogging that has taken over my life, but I can guarantee you that I will be taking it with me on my next vacation. Because it is fun to read about hotel visitors while being a hotel visitor, right?
Enter The Hook stage left…
Why I Love Becca: A Top Eleven List.
Because any schmuck can write a Top Ten list..
DISCLAIMER: And this is solely in the unlikely event my wife reads this, by “love”, I mean the respect that exists between two bloggers, not the hot, sweaty passion that exists between two bodies locked in the throes of passion.
Moving on…
1. She has a big heart. Seriously, she can’t wear a bathing suit.
2. Her talent knows no limits. She is adept in philanthropy. She can pirouette with the best of them. Heck, for all I know, she has the proportionate speed and agility of a spider…
3. Positive is her middle name. Okay, I cannot confirm this, – it could be Gladys for all I know – but I don’t believe I’ve ever read a negative post on her blog. Ever. No one can say that about me, I’ll tell you.
4. She bought my book. Yes, she was the one. I don’t know if she liked it, but she spent her hard-earned cash on it, so she’s aces in my book. So to speak.
5. Blogging, vlogging, you name it, she can do it. Before you cry foul, this is entirely separate from #2. I’m talking about social media skills here, people. Becca isn’t a one -trick pony. This filly has mad skills!
6. She is an extraordinarily cute mammal. Once again, I’m speaking platonically here. There is simply no denying her beauty.
7. She’s willing to open her heart and share the things that keep her up at night. There are millions of bloggers out there, writing about everything from baking to sex, but not everyone is willing to travel to those places that leave us vulnerable and open to ridicule. Fortunately for her readers, Becca is fearless.
8. People like her. They really like her. She’s earned the respect and friendship of the Daily Posts’ darling, Le Clown, and as Jack Nicholson once said, that ain’t bad. Actually her following is legion and growing by the minute.
9. If you haven’t read her work on The Indie Chicks, there’s something seriously wrong with you. And that’s all I have to say about that.
10. She’s willing to laugh at herself. Not to mention, she has a kick-ass work ethic and an inexhaustible supply of ambition. She’s going places, folks. And I knew her when.
11. She’s a credit to the Ginger race.
Editor’s note: Even if she is a huge dye jobbing phony.
And that’s why I love Becca.

BECCA FOR PRESIDENT!
But seriously, everything he said is true. You are THE woman among women.
It’s only because I am among rad women ;).
Ok, couple things:
1.) Hook, you have a real book, not an electronic one — yet another reason why I like you.
2.) #11 el oh el
I had a fantastic comment and then I read everyone else’s comment and not only forgot my comment but was overwhelmed at how awesome their comments were sooo all I have for you now is “Yaaaaay!!” Pretty boring I know but trust me, I laughed and enjoyed the post very much 🙂
That happens to me ALL of the time Vyv. No worries. Your comment is getting as much love as all of the others. I extend a reciprocal “Yayyyyyy!”.
Woohoo!! 🙂
Aw, beautiful! Best compliments – and all so true! ^.^
I like this guy, Hook! His disclaimer was especially sweet. Definitely scores points for honoring his wife. Plus, he thinks “positive” is your middle name. And well, you already know how I feel about that!
You really have something great going with the optimism. It is incredible how much a simple positive mindset can change things in your life. Go Anka! My fellow PYT 😉
Fabulous! I agree!
Very well put – and completely ACCURATE!
Thanks Denise ;).
Ahhh, very nice blog-love post, Hook.
Becca, how many pages is the book? That looks like a LOT of bellman stories. I’ll have to put it on an eReader and make the type smaller, so it won’t take so long to read. 😉
I can’t remember an exact number, but it sure is stocked with stories. Good stories. Funny stories. See why I am looking forward to finishing it?
I read his sample on Amazon when I first met him, and I am definitely looking forward to reading the book.
By the way, you’re my friend too.
I better be.
Easy there!
The verdict is in: You’re a hit, Becca! Savor the flavor, young lady. You’ve earned every accolade.
And thank you for returning the platonic blog love. Today’s title – and the praise that followed – made my day!
Mission accomplished, for both of us I’d say! I always have your back Hook!
Glad to hear it! I could always use another lovely friend…
can “a big heart” count as a third breast?
Duh.
“She’s a credit to the Ginger race” Fiction. She’s a pretender. A phony. A fraud. But I’m a Flyster™ anyhow…
I made an edit! GOSH. Twindaddy, you’re on thin ice, but don’t worry too much because the water isn’t that cold underneath it.
LMAO I know, I just never tire of having fun with that. 😉
I feel you. Not in a creepy way though.
Well, that sucks, too.
That’s sweet Hook. Becca is one of my favorite bloggers!
Amy, ditto.
You’re one of your favorite bloggers, too? What a coincidence!
I like my own posts too, what of it? See my response to your other comment.
Oh…the ice just got thinner, didn’t it?
You are basically standing on a snow flake.
This sucks.
So today’s post has basically been mutual ego stroking? I can live with that! 😉
The best kind of stroking is mutual stroking!
Saying it like that sounds kind of dirty…
Basically.
Becca, you picked a great guest blogger. Hook and I go way back. He’s a good guy and wrote a great post.
He actually surprised me with this write up on Friday night. It made my whole week. I had to post it first thing today!
Wowm Hook, I think that’s the longest I’ve ever seen you be nice on a topic (excluding Vampire Lover, daughter, or comic-con),
An excellent list of reasons.
And Kudos to you for delving into the reason for number one, instead of just enjoying the fact that she was naked poolside.
I made The Hook be nice! Woot!
Hey, The Hook is nice on a regular basis! Should I be concerned that I’m referring to myself in the third person?
No, it exudes confidence. Or arrogance. I am not sure, but it works.
I don’t know who I love more now, The Hook or Becca
Right?!
It’s a tie, I’d say!
You’re not a real Ging? What color is the rug!? (Crude, sorry. Only way to ask)
My natural hair ON MY HEAD is blonde (dirty blonde now with age). Red suits me much better. Trust me.
I dig the red.
I found Becca quite by accident and I’m glad I did. More importantly, I wanna know how much I’d have to pay The Hook and Le Clown to write good shit about me on my blog. I need the hits. 🙂 But seriously, folks…Becca stopped by my place and realized that she too is a Dumbass. She’s my kind of people.
After some thought I realized that what I wrote didn’t come out right. I was NOT implying that Becca paid anyone to write nice things about her. I was, however, implying that I would HAVE to pay someone to write good things about me. I am a Dumbass.
Dumbasses unite! Thanks for the compliment. I am sure you could bribe them. Neither of them have many weaknesses, but if you can find them and play on them, you might get a post ;).
I am always open to a guest post…if someone is willing to stoop to my level. Takers?
The Hook,
Le Clown says: spread the love when it comes to Becca, like a wild case of herpes during a Frat party. There’s no stopping La Becca.
Le Clown
Just like herpes! Wait a minute here…
Becca,
It comes with a great tag: the gift that keeps on giving. It can only be good. Eradicating herpes is yet another propaganda campaign by The Man.
Le Clown
Whatever you say almighty Le Clown!
I, for one, am glad that there is no topical ointment to stave off Becca. If she is herpes, then I welcome the scar.
I’m going to cry. That was beautiful Mike.
It’s going to appear in my new memoir, “Shake, Rattle & Herpes: One Man’s Journey Into STD-themed Compliments”
That is going to fly off the shelves. I feel like I should be wearing a condom.
The book will be wrapped in one, so don’t worry.
Whew!
Originally, the dust jacket was to double as a diaphragm, but the cost got too high. And I have no idea what one looks like.
What language are you speaking?
Sexyese?
Oooh la la!
OohLaLa is actually the capital of Sexystan. Fun fact!
Neato!
