You might have noticed that I have bad luck with men in the romance arena. I'd like to blame the male species, but I can't. There are too many great guys in the blogoverse alone. And they've been some of my most enthusiastic, funny, and gracious readers. Given the extent to which I mock stupid men, I truly appreciate my male blog friends. So this post is dedicated to you, my manly followers, spotlighting a few good men in particular...
First, my most adorable male fan, Mini-Alex. Behind every cute guy is a woman, and
Elise Fallon created Mini Alex for the Alex blogfest. Mini and his Peeps recently toured Alex's blog with my book, and they made an appearance at my facebook page. The fans are going wild. His agent,
Captain Alex, has been one of my dearest blog friends for several years. Thank you, Alex and Mini. [And thanks to my new creative blog friend, Elise.]
Second, there's blogland's rhyming wizard, Mr.
Pat Hatt and his cat. Pat and the cat express everything in rhyme. They even respond to every blog comment in rhyme. Pat's a good guy and a successful author too. I'm most excited that his newly published book,
Tune at High Noon, features a
Rockin Robin!! It's really fun, the illustrations are great, and my praise of Pat's work comes completely unsolicited.
And the men who've made me laugh more than any other bloggers, A
Beer for the Shower buds, Bryan and Brandon, always deserve mention. Their talents amaze me. B & B are artists, accomplished authors, and outrageously funny. Despite their beer chugging bravado, they are down-to-earth nice. B & B recently celebrated the distribution of their books in Denver based bookstores. Congratulations, guys.
I have so many more wonderful male blog friends: Jamie, Anthony, Pat T., Kal, Chuck, Matthew, Gorilla, John McE., and the guy reading this saying "Damn that Robyn, she forgot to mention me. Ungrateful little b*tch!" I love you all.
Women, I love you too. I just figure you already know this. If not, please know it now.
Be well, everyone. I appreciate you.
I don't believe I have been to the A Beer for the Shower blog yet. Maybe I should remedy that.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I got your book. Good work. I have yet to write my review. I will though.
Mini-Alex and the Peeps were happy to hang with your book!
ReplyDeletePat rhymes like no other and Bryan and Brandon are hilarious.
And Chuck is The Dude.
You are a dear friend Robyn and I'd follow you to the ends of the earth.
ABFTS is always good
ReplyDeleteGlad I'm above those ones you post here haha if only people in real life were as good as the ones in blogland, then I may have success dating too. Thanks for the shout.
ReplyDeleteAges ago I'd heard a lot of good things about Bryan and Brandon but for various reasons kept ignoring it but ever since I've followed their blog I haven't regretted it once. Not only is their blog one of the funniest things I read here on a regular basis but the guys behind the blog are top class and always give me insight and advice that I find to be really helpful.
ReplyDeletePat is awesome as well, if I didn't acknowledge that he would cause quite a smell!
Most of these bloggers I don't know ...But Pat Hatt is wonderful. I need to check the others out.
ReplyDeleteI like the blogger klahanie too... great guy!!
Hey! Thanks for the mention Robyn! I truly appreciate it and right back at you!
ReplyDeleteSome great shout outs. Definitely a few people I need to get to know.
ReplyDeleteAwww, thanks for the extremely generous words! You are far too kind, not just to put us beside these other great gentlemen, but the fact that you called us 'men' and not 'overgrown manchildren.'
ReplyDeleteThanks, all, and you're welcome, gentlemen. That includes you, Mini-Alex.

ReplyDeleteI seem to have seen most of these men in my travels around the blog world. Your book, yes, a review is pending and promise to do it in April, whether I participate in the A-Z or not. I need to attract bloggy friends back to my site before I post your review or you can bring your herd.
ReplyDeleteHave been missing my regular Robin humour fix. Hopefully, by June, I would've make enough progress in my freelance work and bill payments that I'll get enough time to blog like before.
The beer guys are hilarious and Pat is awesome, been a great help.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot of really talented guy friends. I agree that ABFTS is hilarious. I will check out the others you mentioned as well.
ReplyDeleteHa! all I can say is 'Great minds...
ReplyDeleteRobyn, you spotted the best--and judging by their comments complimenting you, so did they.
ReplyDeleteLovely tribute to the good, the wise and the funny!
It's terrific that you have such a supportive group behind you Robyn! These are all great male bloggers, and Mini-Alex looks quite dashing next to your book!

I think it's great giving a shout out to the supportive men in blogland (: I know a couple on your list and also think they rock. But looks like I'll have to check out the other fine gents you mentioned as well. (;
ReplyDeleteI'm not familiar with your men, I'll have to check them out. I mean, I'll have to check out their blogs!
ReplyDeleteRek, it's tough to balance it all, isn't it? I understand. It's great to see you. No hurries, no worries regarding a book review or anything like that. All in good time. Be well.
ReplyDeleteJohn, glad you agree.
Cheryl, I'm glad to have introduced folks to some exceptional bloggers.
Faraway, yes, great minds indeed. Smiles.
Margaret, thanks so much. I hope you're well.
EmptyNest, I am lucky for my support network. And Mini is dashingly cute!
Elise, thanks, Elise. So glad to have met you. We all love Mini-Alex.
Yvonne, you are funny and always make me smile. Thanks.

Alex is like Ferris Bueller - everyone wants to be his friend.
ReplyDeleteI love mini alex!! Never seen a ninja play guitar before, although I'm pretty sure Alex does just that.

Good on you! Great idea and there are a few good men out there. I found mine in the newspaper, so you never know where romance lurks.
ReplyDeleteThank you dear.
ReplyDeleteLove you too.

It's weird when people refer to me by my real name. I think I have convinced myself that I am actually Powdered Toast Man. Thanks for the shout out.
ReplyDeleteIt's always nice to know that there are good, nice guys out there. :)
