Rule 5 Sunday

Posted on | February 14, 2010 | 31 Comments

by Smitty

The hue and cry over the Danica Patrick crash has been all over the Rule 5-osphere like noxious fumes on Troglopundit.
So let’s start with him. Lance the boil. Boil the lance.

  • Troglopundit noted her 6th place finish back on 07Feb, staking his claim and claiming his steak. (Mistake?)
  • Point of a Gun notes that the economy is sporting cement galoshes when even Hooters hasn’t got enough buoyancy to keep its perky self bobbing playfully above the wavetops.
  • Instapundit, traffic powerhouse and no Rule 5 slouch, was first in (my Google Reader) with news of Brooklyn Decker. I’ve long thought New York streets were shovel-ready, so the fact that she’s the most attractive road improvement project ever was a pleasant surprise.
  • American Power was next in with backup on Brooklyn Decker Syndrome, an important upgrade to BDS.
  • Smash Mouth Politics was also in the SI locker, but went retro with Paulina Porizkova.
  • The Camp of the Saints, keying off Scott Brown’s 41st Republican Senate vote, free associated himself down to Cabo Wabo for Jennifer Aniston’s Birthday. Of course, if we really want to play the 41 card,

    USS McClusky (FFG 41)

    there is only one way to do it right, and this is to mention the USS McClusky (FFG 41)
  • Wade McCusky, a Rule 5 All Star if ever there was, was kind of important

    C. Wade McClusky

    : “In the words of Admiral Chester Nimitz, McClusky’s decision to continue the search for the enemy and his judgment as to where the enemy might be found, “decided the fate of our carrier task force and our forces at Midway…” I’ll venture that, alive today to opine on DADT, CWM would be NPC (Not Politically Correct).
  • SI VIS PACEM had some retro B&W Christine Keeler from ’62, as well as a bit of Monty Python cheek that would be more funny if modern life were not trending that direction.
  • Troglopundit was back, underscoring the Danica fixation with a play at non-Danica blogging. Finding Kyle Boller more attractive than Carrie Prejean is an example of where one doth protest too much, methinks.
  • Bob Belvedere gave us Nancy Crawford. Brunettes.
  • Hyperactive Rule 5 Retiree American Power brought on a Brooklyn Decker roundup, furiously relaxing within the intense downtime of his chillin’ phase.
  • Piece of Work in Progress relates Teri Hatcher, the Donner party, the DC snowstorm, and Jim Treacher. The elusive allusive stew: POWIP’s got it.
  • Dan Riehl points to the Levi Johnston cover at ABC. Later, RSM would show even less restraint an post it straight away. Also, I will not eat balut.
  • Troglopundit came back with still more Danica Patrick blogging, hat tipping a ‘Smitty’, who may or may not resemble me, on days ending in ‘y’.
  • The Daley Gator points to a possible rival: “Irish Cicero, the king of hottie blogging?”
  • Rightofcourse, venturing beyond Melissa Marie Gonzalez and into Danica Patrick territory, marked a turn in the high-speed blogger hit chase. The week would only enweirden (?) after 11Feb10.
  • House of Eratosthenes returned to the traditional alphabet crawl. He brings Victoria Silvstedt and Willa Ford.
  • American Power decried “The ‘Sexualization’ of Ski Champion Lindsey Vonn”. Any man can cry; it takes a trained academic to decry.
  • Belvedere prepped for valentines day with Pajama Gram gals. This invites the question of Pajamas Media/PJTV’s total lack of anyone in jim-jams doing the blogging.
  • Proof Positive features a lady with a Hello Kitty M16. Nothing says ‘love’ like a bubble-gum semi-auto.
  • Fishersville Mike celebrated Jasmine of the Saints, in a post-Super Bowl moment.
  • Israelly Cool reveals that Scarlett Johansson is Jewish. Never mind the Scandanavian name, I thought she sounded rather Italian:

    • I think the point is that ethnicity is fine in a positive sense of remembering where we came from, and maybe we can fret less about it otherwise.

  • Reaganite Resistance brings Hana Soukupová.
  • Dustbury: “Kerry Washington,” said noted asshat John Mayer, “will break your heart like a white girl.”
  • Theo Spark has a “Bedtime Totty” feature about which we’ve no complaints. H/T Libertarian Advocate.
  • Nation of Cowards introduces Rosario Dawson. Excellent.
  • Instapundit came back with a link to the top 10 Winter Olympics hotties.
  • Yankee Phil also celebrated Jennifer Anniston’s 41st, and had a link to some British designer dude that can’t seem to differentiate between life and a sci-fi flick, IMO.
  • Three Beers Later serves up Larry the Cable Guy for Rule 5. You be the judge. But don’t miss this week’s Juliana Moreira installment. Paco’s sidekick, Wronwright, got zany with the time machine and the harem, TBL discovered.
  • Proof Positive saluted Amber Heard.
  • Jeffords’ Valentine, in some parallel universe, might be Reese Witherspoon.
  • Little Miss Attila narrowed the Olympic hotness to just the guys.
  • The Classic Liberal coaxes an explanation of health care costs from Anne Hathaway.
  • And then Troglopundit spoke: “Race, Danica! Win! Or at least crash spectacularly and escape unharmed!”
  • Paco inserted Helen Forrest for a bit of dramatic tension in the Danica story.
  • The Daley Gator and American Power grew wrathful at Troglopundit’s Danica maneuvers. The Camp of the Saints lowered the boom, as well.
  • Trog’s slavish devotion at least extended to the crash.
  • The Daley Gator: “Danica Patrick crashes, blames Wisconsin blogger”. Fishersville Mike reported a four blog pile up.
  • WyBlog interrupted the Danica thread with an important Valentine message.
  • Belvedere wanted to make sure that we did not lose sight of Christina Hendricks in either the Danica or Anne Hathaway crushes. Then he thought of the beach.
  • Right, Wing Nut posts a Haiti update featuring the wife of Rapper Ice-T. She may have served in the Navy as an Operations Specialist, and be trained in bi-directional writing. Fuggedaboudit.
  • No Sheeples Here posted on Apolo Anton Ohno. Quite handsome for a fellow who thinks that he’s a multi-tool, going around all folded up like that.
  • The Camp of the Saints also featured the ageless Sophia Loren, Teddi Smith, and some Selma Hayek
  • Knowledge is Power had that lady in the Progressive commercials with the layer of war paint chipped off. A being lives under there, both human and attractive.
  • Trainwife1962 offered some background art on the Roman Catholic Bishop and Martyr selling all those cards and chocolate. Oh, there is supposed to be a spiritual point to all this? Wait…
  • Here’s My Thing had a roundup of hotties in body paint that is tasteful.
  • Left Coast Rebel went with a roundup of Winter Olympics hotties.
  • American Power rounds us out with Britains’ Sexiest Farmer. Rumored to be in his draft queue: “The Amish Rule 5 Beard Review”. That’s just the kind of powerhouse blogging DD is into. I hope LCR is taking notes.

    Let’s just say I’m a closet Rule Fiver! But that’s a good one, Smitty: BDS (with apologies to Brooklyn Decker!).

    P.S. I toured the USS McCluskey in 2001 when it made a stop at the Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station. Full tour, about an hour or so. This was the summer before 9/11, and seriously, it’s like the Navy was jonesin’ for public support 10 years after the end of the Cold War. (I noticed that in 1999, when I toured the USS Abraham Lincoln, the same ship that,. if I recall, led offshore flight operations during Operation Enduring Freedom not much later.)

    The reason why Hooters is going down the tubes is simple, and two words: Tilted Kilt. They have girls in cuter outfits serving better food. Ain’t the free market wonderful?

    Oh, and Rosario Dawson is made of awesome; did you know she was at the 2008 Republican Nat’l Convention?

    Belvedere prepped for valentines day with Pajama Gram gals. This invites the question of Pajamas Media/PJTV’s total lack of anyone in jim-jams doing the blogging.

    I have visions of Dr. Helen in a PajamaGram pajama.
