I want to start calling my friends "mates" like they do in the UK. I've always thought that was cool.

@Tamara: lol :D - Jemm

Maaaaaaaaaaaaate! (you won't get this unless you've seen "Men Behaving Badly") - Vicky

I was chatting with a random stranger on Omegle.com and he was from the UK and he said, "hold on, mate, my mobi's ringing" and I FELT LIKE I WAS IN A JAMES BOND MOVIE. In all seriousness, it made me want to travel and get out of my southern california ghetto. - Derrick

Hi mate... - Håkan Dahlström

Yar Matey! How's yer yardarm hangin'? - Scoble, Alex Scoble

:) You have my permission, Derrick old mate :) (and I really miss ppl saying that and 'moby' instead of cell....*sigh*) - WoH: Minding her Steves

LOL @ "James Bond movie" comment :) Was it the young Sean Connery on the beach of Dr. No´s island ? (which would fit Alex´s accent) :) - ɯɥøq sɐɯoɥʇ

I've watched far too many documentaries to call anyone mate. And that's after living in the UK for five and a half years. I just don't feel right around the word. - Richard A.

LOL - Derrick

don't u mean Australia? - Shiva

Hehe, Derrick. Is "pal" or "buddy" the American alternative? :-) - Kol Tregaskes

I lived in the UK for a long time - and much prefer using the word mate/s - also love the word bollocks - very versatile :) - Patrick Jordan

Hah, we need an Australian friendfeed! :-) - Robert Scoble

Kol, I find myself using 'dude' a lot. But then I was born and raised in Southern California. Patrick, let's do it, mate! - Derrick

I'm a UKer and I love the way Aussies say Mate. My mate Karronnie from LA makes me laugh all day with his awesome accent. Need to get to the states to impress the laddies with my posh english/Bond accent - Toby Graham

Allrighty - Matefeed - or MF for short :) - Patrick Jordan

ahh, bollocks...Patrick has just reminded me of how great that is....as a word. To use. - WoH: Minding her Steves

good on ya mate. ;o) less bollox worrying what other numptys will think ;o) - Rob Sellen :o)

Love using feck and fecking as well. And yeah, bollocks is just so versatile - can mean anything from great (as in 'the dog's bollocks') to rubbish - as in my reply to dopey Twitter spammer touting how they'd 'discovered' a crappy ripoff iPhone unlock site - told him I was delighted for them but site was a loada bollocks :) - Patrick Jordan

Tosser is another very good Brit word ... - Patrick Jordan

"Wanker" gets used in my house a lot. - Nine Ferdinand

Wanker is good too, but tosser always feels like it can be said with a bit more venom (often with a close cousin of fecking just in front of it) :) - Patrick Jordan

I want to start mating with some of my friends, but fear much resistance to this idea. - Morgan

Look, pal, don't start on me with all that old bollocks, you bloody tosser - Ian May

is 'tosser' like 'wanker'? - Morgan

Yes, Morgan, English is rich in earthy vernacular :) - WoH: Minding her Steves

as long as I can still fiddle with myself, I don't care what it's called.... :-) - Morgan

Perhaps you should go the whole hog and call your friends "me old china" which is short for the cockney rhyming slang for mate, china plate. Cheers Geez ! - Paul Nash

OH, if we're doing rhyming slang, I like 'bristols' ... - Patrick Jordan

Derrick, of course - dude - how come I forget that one, it's in so many US movies. Cheers, mate! - Kol Tregaskes

I'm just trying to think of all the various alternatives I've been called to "mate": "chap", "fella", "geeza", "matey", "bloke". Can we think of any others? :-) - Kol Tregaskes

Kol "China" = china plate = mate :) - James Beake

Does anyone else feel this overwhelming urge to be reading more than one book at a time, or is it just me?

I've tried, but I can't do it. I have to have at least two and usually three books on the go at any given time. - Nine Ferdinand

I wish I could! I can't even seem to manage reading one right now. - Penguin

I usually read three or four books at a time, per week. - Steven Perez

Steven, do you leave different books in different locations? Like I have the one at work, one upstairs, and one downstairs right now. Different books for different rooms. - Nine Ferdinand

I do that, too. I currently have a bedroom book, a bathroom book (okay, this is currently the New Yorker), and an in-my-messenger-bag book. I don't feel right unless I'm in the middle of at least two or three. - Jandy

Oh, whew! At least it's not just me. - Nine Ferdinand

Absolutely! I was just thinking that tonight as I sat down to read... I've done it a few times before but I think it ends up taking longer overall instead of reading one at a time... - Shawn Duffy from twhirl

I think I have 5 books in process, plus two fic series and a podfic. :-) - Jessi

I'm reading four right now. That's how I always roll - Shevonne

NOW it's Thanksgiving! I have eaten mashed pototoes, gravy and sauerkraut (it's a Baltimore thing) and listened to the 42nd annual playing of Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant".

I set a new record with my Prius this week. I drove 200 mi and consumed only a 1/4 tank of gas.

Amazing, I can drive about 200 miles on 1/2 a tank. If only the Prius looked alot cooler, lol. - Aaron Myers

I drive one as well, but not getting that kind of hypermileage. Averaging 47mpg here. - Sean Alexander

@Sean I would be jumping up and down for 47mpg, I'm getting MAYBE 20mpg. - Aaron Myers

Is the prius hacked? - Jeremy Franklin

@Jeremy not hacked but it seems do better when it's hot and I do a lot of hwy driving. - Steve Rubel

showoff....LOL...yes I am just jealous. - R. Ferguson

This is the wrong metric. What Steve didn't tell you is that his Prius has an 80-gallon tank. :-) - Louis Gray

I set no records with my 350Z Roadster but enjoyed driving in to work today - James Joyner

@Louis - HA! I had a mental image of a Prius towing a small u-haul for its gas and battery. - Yolanda

Wrong Louis - you know how some cars are using cleaned food oil to power their cars? Steve is using FriendFeed for his - the more postings you make here, the faster the car goes - that's why he can't use it in the middle of the night! - Allen Stern

Friend says: "If he had a 1992-1995 Honda Civic VX, or a 2001 Honda Insight, he could have done even better in terms of mileage and emissions !!!" Think this is true? - Kathleen Mazzocco

Someday I'm going to get me a Prius. - Thomas Hawk

+1 for Allen's comment - Mitchell Tsai

I'd rather get a Smart or a MINI diesel-hybrid. Design is much better and they're more fun to drive. - Raoul Pop

That's fantastic! I'm renting a Prius to head up to Portland with from San Fran so that should help save us some major costs along the way - dbcohen

I'm driving my Vespa a lot more than my Prius. Now that's fuel efficiency. - Matt McGinnis

I told my wife I was thinking about a scooter, and she said, "Great! Then I can use it sometimes, too!" >sigh< I don't wanna share. - Ha3rvey (F please!)

if only the prius was made for tall people, I wonder if I'd fit in a Tesla - clarke thomas

That's not necessarily that big of an accomplishment. I can drive about 200 highway miles on a quarter tank with my '03 Hyundai Elantra. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins

I've had my Prius for 3 1/2 years. I've never had a tank average more than about 43 mpg and my average tank is more like 39-40 mpg. Any tips for improving? - Amy Worley

Also, I'd like to add that comparing miles per tank isn't a good comparison. The Prius has a smaller tank than most cars. When mine is blinking empty I'm lucky to get 9 gallons in there. Usually less. - Amy Worley

Okay, I'm breaking my FF radio silence to reply here - howdyoudothat? And why do our Priuses drive better on hwy? - Matt

So a 45 MPG Honda Civic would still have dirtier emissions than a Prius right? Also I have to say we frequently get 50 MPG with our Prius. Am waiting for a 90 MPG Prius. - Kathleen Mazzocco

From Boing Boing Gadgets: "For what he's done to Star Wars, George Lucas met a poetic fate at last weekend's Star Wars Celebration in Japan. The original Star Wars films were preserved like this for decades, until George Lucas unzipped his fly and thawed them out in 1997 to muck around with. Twenty years from now, if we all cross streams, we can probably return the favor." - Mark Trapp from Bookmarklet

If only they could have done this before '97... - Jason Carreira

Although I think the Star Wars re-release was overdone, the other two are tolerable enough (except for the removal of the Ewok celebration song at the end of Jedi). You may think this is blasphemy but it has more to do with the fact that I haven't seen the originals for so long that I can't really tell the difference except in the first one. - Akiva
