Grammar police, here to save the day. The proper phrase is "beckon call." It is a very common mistake.

Oh, and Erika was reading that over my shoulder and wondered out loud how you could make such a thing happen.

I was planning on doing that anyway, BTW. I can't wait till she gets to open my present. I better hurry up and go find one! :p

It's actually "beck and call". I just said it, and so it is.

Duh.

Oh... and I have ways to make things happen. Wait and see.

This is a fine example of what linguists call “popular etymology.” People don’t understand the origins of a word or expression and make one up based on what seems logical to them. “Beck” is just an old shortened version of “beckon.” If you are at people’s beck and call it means they can summon you whenever they want: either by gesture (beck) or speech (call).

Excellent example of a fine "copy and paste" technique. http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/beckon.html

Back to the point...Happy Birthday, Erika! Mine is next week while we are on vacation.

BUST! Mike is notorious for plagiarizing in that manner actually.
