She Likes The D
D as in Detroit of course.
I could write a long post detailing every little thing I did while in the Detroit area. I could brag about my sweet Red Wings shirt Adam got me hooked up with, or cringe at all of the cereal Adam eats, but you would probably only get half way through reading before your Monday distracted you. So, instead I am going to give you an action packed and easy reading list of all the enchanted and bewildering things I experienced on my trip. You know, the highlights.
I also developed a game for you AND included ANOTHER video. Hold on to your desk. Here we go!
1. I sat by a gentleman named Dallas on my flight to Dallas. Coincidence? I think not.
2. “Helen” cut me off after my third Jack Daniel’s on my second flight. Apparently I was “done.”
3. Adam told me I smelled like a hobo when I got off of the plane, but then I used my hair to mesmerize him. Funny how hobo changes very quickly into fairy princess with one good hair flip.
4. I learned, reluctantly, that turning left on red is a apparently a thing in Michigan. Supposedly. Maybe.
5. It’s a lot easier to take pictures of people sleeping on planes than one would think:
6. Planes can do the Harlem Shake too when given the right amount of youarenevergettinghome style weather.
7. Michigan Toys R Us’s are sexist.
8. Drinking at high altitudes is good for the creative brain. This is how I came up with a little game. It is the opposite of laying on the grass and making pictures of the clouds. It is sitting in a plane and making pictures of the ground.
Example:
Here is one for you to try!
9. I had to spend a night in Dallas on the way back from my trip as you know. During that night, some shit went down.
- Two women who looked to be members of some bizarre cleaning lady gang tried to swipe my iphone right out of my hands. All I wanted was a light. Sheesh.
- I would have spent the night in a hotel located conveniently in between two strip clubs and over thirty minutes from the airport had it not been for a savior in a Holiday Inn Express uniform who picked me up at just the right time.
- The video you are about to watch happened.
Disclaimer: this video contains a person in the state of extreme delirium.

10. I learned a lot more about the handsome Adam. I even chose to look past his sick cereal addiction. We all have our vices. Thank you Adam for being a lovely host, an excellent Clue player, and for showing me the best parts of the D.
D As in Detroit.

Sounds like one interesting trip. I love taking pictures of sleeping folks on planes… strange habit I guess.
I’m really glad you clarified what that “D” stood for. Because when I just read the title, I wasn’t sure… However, I don’t mind saying that I was a little disappointed that it only stood for Detroit.
Anyway, I’m going to have to play that Find the Peen game the next time I fly over land. That looks like fun. But who is this Helen bitch and who does she think she is, cutting you off after only 3 Jacks?
Also, you and Adam make a nauseatingly cute couple. I may barf now. But in a good way.
Helen needs to play find the peen. Obviously.
And thanks weebs. If there is any kind of good puke it is yours.
With love,
Me
Becca,

I have a keen eye for peen.
I win.
Le Clown
I feel dumb that this picture surprised me. It’s like I didn’t even know you for a second there.
Becca,
I’m disappointed.
Le Clown
Oh, there’s one! It took awhile. I guess Le Clown’s photo resolution was much sharper. You two fucks made me laugh during a very important (so important I was reading blogs and twittering) meeting! Thanks for that.
Meetings are the BEST time for blog reading/tweetering! Yay!
You: “Hi honey!” Him: “Hi hobo!” Shit, that’s romance.
I LOLed too hard at this. The Notebook a’int got shit on that kind of romance.
I wish I had been in the Mitt when you were there–we could totes hang, and I could show you something other than the big D–West side is the best side of America’s High Five. Next time Becca, next time I get you. Hehe!
The West side of the state? Or west of Woodward?
Of the state. It’s rad, minus all the religious crazies.
I think you may just get that opportunity ma’am! I think I will be back before you know it ;).
YESSSSS! Is this Adam guy a man friend? Hehe
Man friend indeed.
Ooooooh! Well. I’m in the Mitt, so let me know when you come back!
Yes ma’am!
In spite of your cat lover status, Chelsea reblogged this on my blog, Becca.
Great flying post, by the way. Have fun with your kick-ass host, Adam.
By the way, did you get my e-mail?
Flying post on 25toFly… who knew?! Thanks! E-mail answered!
Expect the unexpected, Becca.
Thanks for the response. I know you’re busy criss-crossing the country spreading the Gospel According to 25ToFly…
“I learned, reluctantly, that turning left on red is a apparently a thing in Michigan. Supposedly. Maybe.”
That’s only when you have the ability to turn left. A lot of places you have to make a u-turn and a right….
I’m so confused. I like Louisiana roads where the rules are clear and the single laned roundabouts are abundant.
Don’t worry, it gets more confusing and frustrating the longer you’re there.
hee hee….halitosis coming out of the dryer and into my hair….
It was gross, and funny, and gross.
“and for showing me the best parts of the D.”
Awwwwww yeaahhhh, becca got some!
I can’t take you anywhere Aneroidocean.
I see a bottom in that picture, but daren’t look for anything else. I’m supposed to at least pretend I have a sense of decorum!
Bums are acceptable too :). It’s all in good innocent fun. Okay, maybe just fun.
I have a feeling you’d like the game “cards against humanity”. Maybe you should invest in it for the blogger meet up. It’s apparently a completely non-PC version of apples to apples, and is one hundred and ten percent inappropriate.
OH. MY. Yesssssss. High five on that suggestion! There will have to be games. Speaking of the meet up, there are still surprises to come!
Pity I can’t be with you, but I may be able to wangle Skype…
You guys are too cute!! Of course when I read your title, my mind immediately went to the gutter!! lol
So you did, in fact, see what I did there.
🙂
Yes, because I have a gutter mind!!! lol By the way, what type of cereal does Adam eat?? Lucky Charms? Coco Puffs? I’m certain it’s not granola or Special K! lol
He roasts mini marshmallows and puts them in a bowl with milk. It’s like Lucky Charms, only more terrifying.
Where in the hell did he come up with that?? Why can’t he eat eggs and bacon like normal people?? hahaha
I don’t know, but at least he made me some bacon!
Pretty jeally of that cleaning set.
Y’all are cute ;D
Thanks Emily. I know what to get you for your birthday now!
what’s the name of that vibrator/dildo thing that has the anal attachment? like “the rabbit” or something? there’s one of those in that pic. Here:
how do you not stay in motel between two strip clubs? i would have rented out all the rooms and then resold them to the “gentlemen” at the “gentlemen’s club.” i think that’s how Expedia got started. or Expeenia.
Rich, like you don’t know the answer to that question. You own two. One for daily use and one for back up. Remember when you were complaining about your battery expenses?
Expeenia! HA!
i have a solar one now, but i can only use it outside. obvious drawback being less fun on cloudy days. or at night. i hear the neighbors are chipping in to get me some rechargeable batteries. how nice.
Didn’t know those kind of neighbors existed. You have it made man.
the more i’m naked outside, the more they’ll pay to keep me inside.
I’m really disappointed in Helen. If anyone was going to funnel unlimited booze, I thought would have been her. Oh wait! Is this the same Helen that once dated a guy named Adam in Detroit? Uh oh…
I think Helen just ate some bad peanuts. Either that or she had the lavatory cleaning duties at the end of her shift and she was taking it out on me. I was obviously having too good of a flight for her liking.
Wait, Helen and Adam? Aw hellllllll naw.
It must be the same Adam. How many other Adams are there in the world, after all? Two? Maybe three.
There are four, and Helen is a bitter peanut slinger, Calahan. I am innocent of all hanky panky charges brought against me. You should fly American and extend an invite to Helen to join the mile high club. The woman clearly needs some pop rocks in her panties, if you know what I’m sayin…
Peanut slinging, pop rocks in someone’s underwear. You seem to know an awful lot about Helen, Adam. Almost a little too much…
I was the second gunman on the grassy knoll…
You get around.
But was that Jack Daniels free?? Sounds like “Helen” is a rule follower.
So rude. And unfortunately, the Jack was not free. Not free at all :(.
Welcome back!!! I’ll check out your video later tonight as my internet is being a $%^&* and it took me I don’t know how long to get your post to open. Worth the wait though as I looooove it! Glad you had such an awesome time! Your picture with Adam is so cute. Can I pinch your cheeks? Also, you do realize i am picturing Adam hiding behind a pile of cereal right? Like a mountain.
YES! YOU DID THE HAIR FLICK.
I’m having the giggles about “the peens” now. Hahaha!
xoxo!
TJ, your compliment on my video made me giddy. Thank you for your continued support and congrats again for being the coolest artist I know ;).
You can pinch my cheeks any time. Just not those cheeks. Okay, you can pinch those too.
Adam would be in HEAVEN in a swimming pool filled with Fruit Loops. I am sure of it.
Just follow your nose!
Adam, please rethink being with someone who doesn’t like cereal!!! I mean, this is a CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY. (Becca can’t see this, right?)
I feed cereal to Jack as punishment. MUHAHAHA! Take that you cereal freaks!
I meant every single word! Jenna’s humor is kinda hypnotic and I get the same vibe with you. I can’t stop watching haha. I can’t wait to see how Beccatube evolves. I’m a forever Flyster!
Oh my gosh. I can pinch BOTH cheeks. This made my day. You should watch out when we meet now, but I promise to bring some milk.
Thank you SO much for your support and sweet words as well. I’m excited that we won!! *dances*
That gives me so much motivation TJ! I just adore you! I just got my hands on more than just a webcam too, so the possibilities are endless now. Muhahahaha!
*dances hard as a mofo*
You made me laugh out loud with this one(several times)! Read both posts and it looks like you two had a blast! This makes my Monday, complete. Time for a smoke, I need to try and get my laughter under control. Cheers!
I’m so elated to hear that Amber! I’ll have a smoke with you. I love to hear that you really laughed out loud and didn’t just “lol”.
Oh my goodness, the second picture of the person sleeping: I DIED.
BONUS: He kept hitting his face on the window in pure exhaustion. He wouldn’t even wake up and open his eyes on the rebound either. He stayed steadily snoozing… pecking away at that window. To my amusement.
Oh drats, I just posted my comment logged in on my limebird profile, rather than my normal one, but never mind!
That’s why my first comment isn’t showing up yet because my Limebird profile is stil to have its first post moderation.
No worries. I recognize your face! Duh!
Phew!
That video is SO funny, like you’re talking about some really serious stuff. And is it wrong that I felt a little bit excited when I saw the ‘Just Like Home’ cleaning kit, and kind of wanted one, not when I was a kid, I mean now?
Between that toy kit and the Battle of the Sexes game Adam and I played, I am beginning to wonder about who is in charge of Toy’s R Us inventory choices. Thanks for saying that about the video! I thought y’all might get a kick out of body lotion as conditioner. Even thought I did not at the time ;).
Hahaha … that video is sooo funny. I think you hopped on that Magic School Bus and partook of some magic mushrooms. Glad you had fun in Detroit. Crikey, you two are cute! 🙂
Thanks Maddie! Unless someone slipped shrooms into my Famous Amos cookies and peanut butter crackers from the vending machine, this is all 100% Becca. Minus sleep. Added a weird hotel and no hair product.
Michigan is, uh, neat.
I lived there 10 years too long, as a child.
Glad you had fun. Surely, the company had something to do with it.
I sense some Michigan resentment? The company was definitely the high light. But what I heard about Detroit compared to what I actually saw were two different worlds. It’s not so bad ;).
No resentment. I just love the Midwest.
I’d love, even more, to live in the NorthEast for a bit.
So turning left on red is okay? Really? I feel like I’m back in Tunisia…
Anyway, I’m really fond of your flying game. You drink every time you see a peen, right??
Looking forward to reading A from the D’s version!
Yeah, how can you turn left on red? Is it like in DC when you can turn left on red if both streets are one way? Or is Detroit just some unlawful land where anarchy rules?
I’m going with unlawful anarchy. I even saw someone do a rolling stop. I mean, WTF?!
Pixie, the game was quite fun. I took so many pictures of the ground in which I thought I was finding images. When I looked back on them the next day I forgot what I imaged. Except for the peens of course. Hope you enjoy Adam’s take!
Danggggg girl, you have taken next-level bloggy friendships to the, er, next level. You two crazy kids are adorbs. Sounds like you had a blast! I don’t have sound right now, so will have to watch the video later (wah)!
P.S. – Booooooooo “Helen.”
I like the word adorbs. Only because you said it. Thanks boo, it was indeed a blast. Hope you enjoy the video. It’s different than what I normally do, but it had to be shown to the world.
Helen will regret her actions one day when she really wants a whiskey and no one will give it to her :(.
The size of a “tear” – HA!
