Rule 5 Sunday: Fightin’ Words

— compiled by Wombat-socho Almost tempted to put this off until tomorrow night after spending a good part of the day squashing white supremacist trolls in the comments, but there’s no reason to penalize the innocent along with the guilty. This week’s appetizer is UFC womens’ bantamweight champ Ronda Rousey, who stirred up some controversy […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Insert Clever Title Here

— compiled by Wombat-socho Feeling kinda fried this Sunday afternoon after overdoing it last night at the buffet. Usual reader advice applies. Loose Endz kicks off this week’s Rule 5 roundup with Comic Con Cosplay Goodness, followed by Goodstuff who invites us to explore heavenly bodies with Stephanie Arias. Also, Marilyn Monroe! Randy’s Roundtable checks […]

Rule 5 Sunday: The Persistence of the Bunny

— compiled by Wombat-socho It’s actually a tad cool in Las Vegas as I write this, which is to say it hasn’t reached 100.

This week’s appetizer is provided by Canadian organist Maxine Thevenot, who I found after sorting through quite a few […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Showgirls and Other Attractions

— compiled by Wombat-socho This week I’m trying to get back into the blogging saddle, so to speak; you might even see the return of Live at Five tomorrow! For now, insert the usual disclaimer here about being discreet in your clicking, ogle the intro pic of traditional Vegas show girls, and on with the […]

Rule 5 Sunday: Welcome To Las Vegas

— compiled by Wombat-socho Well, after a week of late-night driving, a busted water pump, and way too many hamburgers, I have arrived in my new home of Las Vegas, where I’m holed up at the Plaza Hotel & Casino until I can sign a lease on something more permanent. Once that happens and all […]
