Promotion Of The Year

The ECHL's Las Vegas Wranglers are holding "Over 18" night on Tuesday. It'll feature an open bar, All-Male Review (something for the ladies) and Stripper-101 (something for the men). Now, I don't want to rain on the Wranglers' parade, but it's Vegas -- EVERY night in Vegas, no matter where you are, is an "Over 18" night. But I give the Wranglers credit for creativity. I also give them credit because Stripper-101 reminded me of this oldie but goodie: 10 (Mostly) A-List Actresses As Strippers. Both Natalie Portman (Closer) and Salma Hayek (Dogma, From Dusk 'Til Dawn) made the list. I wanted to use a Salma picture today, but she was just in Hot Clicks five weeks ago. So, then I thought about using a Portman pic because I don't think she's been in Hot Clicks. But then I realized this isn't about me. It's about you. So, this poll is for you.

Terrific Titles
One of my favorite things about doing Hot Clicks is seeing the creative names people come up with for their blogs. I tend to like the ones that incorporate someone's name the most, a la The Legend of Cecilio Guante, Deuce of Davenport, Tirico Suave, The Ghosts of Wayne Fontes, Hugging Harold Reynolds and Sharapova's Thigh. Well, ZonerSports.com wants to decide the Best Blog Name, so make sure you vote in this tournament. One relatively new blog that isn't in the contest is making a strong play to be in next year's: Smoking With Hank.
E-Mail Of The Day
Craig Ashford, of Eugene, Ore., says "A student from our law school is raising money for his unpaid internship. He got creative and offered up his services to clean our filthy, disgusting, and genuinely awful (it defies description) student cooking area in the school lounge. I would like to see this happen. In addition, the guy is funny. Could you post this as a Hot Click? I really want some clean appliances at the University of Oregon's law school. Thanks!" After seeing those microwaves, I don't think I have a choice.
