Rule 5 Sunday: Them Ain’t Turkeys, Them Are Ducks

— compiled by Wombat-socho As promised, the post-Thanksgiving Rule 5 Sunday contains no turkeys (well, none that I know of, though EBL may have tucked a few mutants into her links) but instead a fine collection of pulchritudinous Ducks, namely the young ladies of the University of Oregon’s cheerleading squad. As usual, many of the […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Post-Veterans Day Recovery Edition

— compiled by Wombat-socho I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by the way Las Vegas celebrates Veterans Day. Just about every fast casual restaurant in town has some kind of free food to offer, and a lot of them start handing it out on Monday. It’s not just the Red Robins and Applebees […]

Rule 5 Sunday: The Hearts of Space

— compiled by Wombat-socho The local classical music station here in Las Vegas is notable for three things: an absence of annoying NPR “news” programs, the most excellent Pipe Dreams program, devoted to music from pipe organs, and the intriguing Music from the Hearts of Space, arguably one of the oldest radio shows devoted to […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Just What It Says On The Label

— compiled by Wombat-socho With the coming of cool weather to Las Vegas, one’s thoughts naturally turn to hot & spicy foods – and, of course, hot and spicy women.

Rule 5 Sunday: World Patriarchy Day Edition

— compiled by Wombat-socho Sometimes it’s hard to think of a post title for these weekend linkagery posts, but other times one just seems to drop into your lap. Apparently not content with the existing Annoy A Feminist Week, or perhaps wanting to spread the love around (so to speak), Milo Yiannopoulos has declared his […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Columbus Day Edition

— compiled by Wombat-socho It’s that time of year again, when all manner of malcontents are coming out of the woodwork and complaining about the poor administrative skills and politically incorrect conduct of the Admiral of the Ocean Sea, going so far as to call for his day being renamed Indigenous Persons Day, or some […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Time For The Professionals

— compiled by Wombat-socho Week 4 of the NFL season is underway, and this being Vegas, my “home” casino has a (free) game going on that gives away stuff based on how successful one is at picking winners in each week of the season. Me, I don’t follow the NFL, so after a futile first […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Roll Tide!

— compiled by Wombat-socho I admit to not following college football all that much, which is why this introduction didn’t appear three weeks ago when the NCAA season started. Nonetheless, it is time to make the annual obeisance to the altar of the Crimson Tide, and so the appetizer this week is the University of […]
