"Gal" Friday! Nicky Whelan

As a heads up for anyone out there who might be sympathetic to my plight, I'm just gonna mention that I would REALLY like to be in possession of the necessary skill set to lure this young lady into a relationship. Mind you, that's not an unusual affliction here in the Catacombs, as generally each weeks new (and lovely) "gal" Friday selection holds a special level of appeal that could easily get me to commit to being treated like dog shit for the rest of my life. With a smile on my dopey face, I might add!

Anyway, I don't recall where or how this Australian hottie came to my attention, but as I ruminated over her pending post. Ruminated?  Yeah, lets just agree to call "it" that! Her blond good looks, sexy accent, overall physical perfection, and lest I forget, my own affable desire to finesse everything else, all conspired to leave me in a bit of a foul mood.

Adding insult to injury, there were plenty of dumbasses this week who plain out annoyed me. At work. At home. On the highway. And everybody debating anything in the political arena.

Still, "Gal" Friday must proceed, so feast your eyes on Australian actress and model Nicky Whelan. She is best known for her role as Pepper Steiger in the Australian television series Neighbours. Stateside, Whelan appeared in the final season of Scrubs as Maya, an Australian medical school student and in the 2011 film Hall Pass, which co-starred Owen Wilson, Jason Sudeikis, Jenna Fischer, and Christina Applegate.

It's tough knowing that I'm not going to get her for Christmas, or my next birthday, or at home as a surprise on a crappy day. That makes me sad, and I usually prefer brunettes too. That makes it a double-bummer!  Take a gander at these sweet pics, down a brewski, and toast the fickle deities of the universe; because they don't play fair at all.
