Hooked on "You've Been Hooked" Blog

With my personal time being scarce as it is, it’s hard for me to keep up with as many blogs as I would like. With the exception of informative blogs like Engadget and Punchline (tech and comedy blogs) I pretty much just skim a few of them through Google Reader and call it a day.

With that being said, there is one Blog that I discovered almost at random that I haven’t stop going back to and that’s “You’ve Been Hooked!” that’s written by a hotel worker in Canada. I say “almost” random because the author of that blog wrote a comment on mine (back when I was still using WordPress.com. I know it hasn’t been that long but whatever!). I appreciated the comment, noticed he had a blog of his own and decided to give it a read and after two entries I was hooked! (no pun intended).

This blog is filled with hilarious stories of The Hook’s exploits at his hotel and the patrons he has to endure . It is a fun read. I even subscribed via the email option. It’s such a good blog that I noticed it’s absence in my emails and wondered if he had stopped blogging. It turned out that my email subscription settings were reset somehow and so I reactivated them and hopefully I will be getting wonderfully funny new tales delivered to my inbox.

Worse case scenario, I also have this blog in my Google Reader but the I’d rather get the tales sent directly to me instead. Anyways, what are you doing still reading this critique? Go and check out the humor of “You’ve Been Hooked!” already!

A quick plug for Doug Stanhope

So last night was quite a night for me and I’ll get into it in a later blog post but I first want to promote the hell out an upcoming comedy show.  Thanks to comedian, Ray Devito, I recently got into comedian Doug Stanhope.  And within a month of listening and enjoying Doug’s albums, “Something To Take the Edge Off” and “Sicko” I came to find out with glee that he’s going to be performing in New York City at Comix Comedy Club in the first week of November.

Earlier this week, after seeing a great comedy show that commemorated Punchline Magazine’s 4 year anniversary, I was told that there was also a discount code people could use to get a great discount on a great show.  I figured the best way to promote this discount would be to put a page on my blog and here’s the link for it. Doug Stanhope is a great nitty gritty comic and I encourage anyone and everyone to take advantage of this promotion code to save some money as well as just enjoy a great show.
