WILF Wednesday presents the other sexy sexy sisterly half

Hey, guys, Tom here again. Sorry for being late. Now, I have run out of videos from theassman345xxxo, so that left me with no option but to improvise. So, with that in mind, I found a new hottie. Yeah, you the deal with her. You either love her or you hate her. Me? I find her unbelivably sexy. She definitely was lucky enough to have the same breasts ans ass genetics as her sister. Not to mention a penchant for singing. Did I mention she is a recent MILF? I'll tell ya, she's a sexy thang. And for all the haters, what do two albums to debut at Number 1 on Billboard say? I think it speaks for itself. Beleive me, I wanna la la with this hottie. She's Ashlee Simpson.

No Way Out results

Ugh! I thought I had the possibility for perfection last night for No Way Out. But unforeseen changes in the card threw everything I had out the window and sent me downward again at 2-3 for the night. My winter woes continue to haunt me as I now drop to 186-151. God, I am fearing WrestleMania XXV now. Jack Swagger and Randy Orton, thanks for preventing this from becoming an epic fail. John Cena, Edge, and JBL, go straight to Hell, do not pass Go, do not collect $200.00. Man, I still had Cena picked to retain in the RAW Elimination Chamber even though Edge entered the scene. DAMN YOU, HINDSIGHT!

WILF Wednesday Double Feature

Hey, everybody. Tom here again. Recently, I posted a video of Kim Kardashian after saying that theassman345xxxo pulled it down. Well, neeedless to say I am quite embarassed to correct myself and say the Kim Kardashian video by assman is still up and running. So, I pulled down the second Kim K video in favor of the first. So what could I do to make up for my wrongs? How about two WILFs for the price of one? That's right, I'm giving you not one, but two incredibly sexy women. And thanks to theassman345xxxo for making these videos. And by the way, as much as it pains me to say it, both aren't pornographic, but viewer discretion is advised. God, I hate YouTube flaggers. Anyways, both these women are incredibly sexy blondes with asses that deserved to be spanked. Both are very different. The first is a funny actress. The other is a WWE Diva. The first got her big break in the "Scary Movie" series of films. The second, a former bikini model, got her big break on the first episode of the new ECW portraying an exhibitionist. The first saw her career take off with the success of last summer's movie "The House Bunny." The second is on her way to stardom and is probably a few steps away from showing how much she has improved by winning her first WWE Women's Championship (give her time on that, though). Why don't I just tell you who they are? They are Anna Faris and Kelly Kelly.

Keep Rihanna in your thoughts and prayers

I wish the Barbadian (is that correct, Victor?) beauty all the best through these traumatic times.
