Rule 5 Sunday: Down Home At Stoney’s

— compiled by Wombat-socho I’m not much for bars these days, what with the diabetes and all, but since I have a passing interest in country music, I’m occasionally tempted to check out Stoney’s, located off the Strip in a hifalutin’ shopping center that also features a Victoria’s Secret and a Whole PaycheckFoods, among other […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Cinco De Mayo

— compiled by Wombat-socho Another Sunday, another opportunity to take a break from politics* and enjoy some attractive young ladies. This week, the over-hyped 5th of May, which much like the Feast of St. Patrick is celebrated to a greater extent (and more drunkenly) than in its home country of Mexico. Historical details here, for […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Formal Affairs

— compiled by Wombat-socho We’re not quite into prom season yet (I think) but in contrast to Niven & Pournelle’s caustic description of science fiction conventions with “half-pretty girls half-dressed to show it”, it’s not a bad thing to remember high school proms, Homecoming dances, and -if you attended one of those high schools with […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Hyundai Race Queens

— compiled by Wombat-socho It’s time again for our weekly break from politics and celebration of God’s creation, especially the part of it that’s young, female, and human. Since my Elantra got crunched Friday night in a hit & run, I’m on muscle relaxants and pain pills, and thinking about the next set of wheels, […]

Rule Five Wednesday: Double-Dip Easter Edition

— compiled by Wombat-socho I guess I could have done something tax day related, but after the last week or so of an especially aggravating tax season, I’d prefer to just close the door on it and move on. Besides, I promised an Easter Rule 5, and by George, we’re going to have an Easter […]

Rule 5 Monday: Baseball Babes

— compiled by Wombat-socho As the Washington Post baseball writer Thomas Boswell once remarked, time begins on Opening Day, and this season began on a positive note with the Rays thrashing the hated Yankees. As I write this, my Nationals are leading the Fish 2-0 in what I hope will be the first of 90+ […]

Late Night With Rule 5 Monday

— compiled by Wombat-socho Nothing like having your schedule screwed with on short notice to throw everything off. No appetizer this week; we’ll just get right into the hotness. As usual, many of the following links are to pics generally considered NSFW, and the management is not responsible for any consequences, dire or otherwise, arising […]

Rule 5 Sunday: The Original Dragon Lady

— compiled by Wombat-socho Many many moons ago, there was a popular comic strip by the name of Terry & The Pirates, which was an action strip by Milton Caniff about the adventures of a young man and his pals in the Far East. One of their antagonists, the beautiful but cold “Dragon Lady”, was […]
