Rule 5 Sunday: Babe In Toyland

— compiled by Wombat-socho Today I learned that one of my favorite Christmas movies, Laurel & Hardy’s Babes In Toyland, had been remade in 1961 with Ray Bolger, Annette Funicello, and Tommy Sands…and again in 1986 with Keanu Reeves (!) and Drew Barrymore, though the last one sounds like the scriptwriter got the plot confused […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Happy Hanukkah!

— compiled by Wombat-socho We used to have a saying in the Cold War Army that certain women were so hot they made fatigues look good, and I don’t think there’s any doubt that former IDF soldier Gal Gadot, better known these days as the actress who plays Wonder Woman, is one of those women. […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Roll Tide!

— compiled by Wombat-socho My original intention for this week was to go with a Thanksgiving theme, but much like John Madden’s mutant turkeys, all the pics I could find had too much leg and not enough breasts…fortunately, the Crimson Tide crushed Auburn in the Iron Bowl yesterday, which meant I had a backup plan.

Late Night With Rule 5 Sunday: Pepper Potts

— compiled by Wombat-socho Stan Lee is dead, but along with all the costumed superheroes, he left us a cast of gorgeous & competent women in lead and supporting roles. One of my favorites is Virginia “Pepper” Potts, Tony Stark’s gal Friday and sometime love interest. Pepper’s played in the Marvel Cinematic Universe by Gwyneth […]

Late NIght With Rule 5 Sunday: Nurse! Nurse!

— compiled by Wombat-socho One of the few good things about being in the hospital for the last few weeks was the nurses, who were uniformly young, mostly cute, and generally Asian. They weren’t dressed like this, but scrubs can be sexy too when they’re tight in the right places. Three weeks’ worth of links, […]

Early Morning With Rule 5 Monday: Coffee FFS

— compiled by Wombat-socho Not going to lie, I could use a cup right now, but this room has no coffee machine, and I stupidly left my container of Folger’s in the storage locker last week. This week’s appetizer is a girl who knows what’s up with tread juice. Ninety Miles From Tyranny: Hot Pick […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Salma Hayek

— compiled by Wombat-socho While I’m waiting to move into my new place, I’m shuttling between a lot of Las Vegas hotels; for the next couple of days, I’m at the El Cortez, the oldest continually-operating hotel here. It’s a pretty nice place, with its own unique vibe, and for no good reason I can […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Brennschluss

— compiled by Wombat-socho Ninety Miles From Tyranny: Hot Pick of the Late Night, The 90 Miles Mystery Box #398, Morning Mistress, and Girls With Guns. Animal Magnetism: Rule Five Service Rifle Friday and the Saturday Gingermageddon. EBL: National Taco Day, Sarah Vaughn “Witchcraft”, Marie Claire Bissonette, Susan Collins, Tippi Hedren & The Vietnamese Nail […]
