Rule 5 Sunday: Eponymous Shorts

— compiled by Wombat-socho One of the things that made The Dukes of Hazzard worth watching was Catherine Bach playing the role of Daisy Duke, most often seen wearing the cutoff denim shorts that came to be named for the character. For very understandable reasons, Daisy Dukes have remained quite popular with young ladies, as […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Hockey Girls

— compiled by Wombat-socho Well, contrary to everyone’s expectations, the Las Vegas Golden Knights are going to the Stanley Cup finals. Pretty amazing for an expansion team whose roster was filled with castoffs from the other NHL teams. Anyhow, diligent search of the Intertubes failed to turn up any scantily clad Golden Knights fans, so […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Camille Paglia Approved!

— compiled by Wombat-socho Some weeks, I have to really struggle to come up with an appropriate appetizer for Rule 5 Sunday. Other weeks, ideas just fall into my lap – and so it was this week.

Rule 5 Sunday: Tammie Jo Shults

— compiled by Wombat-socho Always had a soft spot for women in uniform. Sorry I couldn’t find a pic more suited to Rule 5, but Captain Shults has managed not to plaster herself all over social media, which is a rare achievement these days, and one I respect. This week, Ninety Miles From Tyranny has […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Not Your Normal Graduation Picture

— compiled by Wombat-socho Earlier this week, University of Tennessee coed Brenna Spencer set off a furor online by posing for this pic and posting it to Twitter, thus: The Tweet predictably triggered many of the usual suspects, and to her credit, Miss Spencer didn’t back up, not one millimeter. Good on her. More suitable […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Lieutenant Dish

— compiled by Wombat-socho Growing up as an Air force brat, I’ve always been fond of women in uniform, and Robert Altman’s M*A*S*H had plenty of those – Sally Kellerman as chief nurse “Hot Lips” Houlihan, Tamara Horrocks as Capt. “Knocko” McCarthy, but most of all, JoAnn Pflug as Lieutenant Maria “Dish” Schneider, who saves […]
