The one in the middle of the front line of the scrum, whose job it is to hook the ball with their feet as it gets rolled into the scrum and push it back out the tail end of the scrum. The ones to either side of the hooker are called props.
So in rugby, you must give the hookers their props, yo?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Try searching on rubgy + scrum + "first row." There are only 3 people in the first row of a scrum, and the hooker is the middle one.
Done properly, the hooker sits on the shoulders of two middlerow people, one person per hip. Unlike the other two people in the first row, the hooker does not have someone reaching between his/her legs to grab at her waistband, either. It is a curiously virginal position to play.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think one of my college roommates was a hooker -- she's kind of little and mean, so that would be right, right?
OK, I have got to get out of here. Note: favorite thing to do in the rain is not go outside. I failed miserably at that on Saturday in the driving rain, and will fail again today. Bleh.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My favorite thing to do in the rain depends on the season. Summer = run outside and play. Winter = curl up on the couch with tea/coffee/cocoa/etc.
Sadly, today, I do not have that option. (Though I will be having my lunch delivered -- no way I'm going out in this more times today than I absolutely have to.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I like this sentence.
I caught sight of a reflection of me this morning, striding into work in high-heeled shiny boots with big buckle, short red skirt, shiny black blouse and a Hellboy lunchbox. Ah, well. It's all me.
I really want cheese. I have yoghurt. Want cheese. Have chicken and rice, want cheese.

Like yesterday, where all you had was cheese?

Basically, the player whose job it is to try to "hook" (grab, get control of) the ball with his/her feet when they're in the scrum (which is the chaotic-looking mob scene thing).

Ahh, Buffistas. Source of all knowledge. Thanks!

Um, yeah.
