there ya have me ! :] .... see, to be honest with you, i saw this pic couple days ago, but i let it go, without posting it ..... what does that make me? :]

even a flat cat... faxes just can't handle the hair. You'd have to shave the cat first, else the hair will burn and stick to the drum... a mess! (I am extrapolating from transparencies, mind, i don't have access to a cat to test)

Bloody marvelous, Kol. Wish I could like it again... too cute (and help u to 500 likes).

- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Aww, I hope I'm not offending anyone by not including them on the list. Many times I just go by the avatar and if it's a cartoon or something it's hard to tell and I won't put on here, and also these are just *my* personal tastes. Everyone has different types!
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Any woman with the brass to be on FF is a hottie in my book.
- Chris Baskind
Wow - that'd be a drag to be on a list like that. Still, as I always say, if you want to get a lot of followers get a hot chick avatar. It's sad but it's iJustine. True! I mean true. It's sad but it's true.
- Ciaoenrico
Ciaoenrico I kinda take offense to that. My avatar is me, it's my face and I shared it on FF after a LOT of thought about it (plus some gender confusion, but that's another story). Because a woman might be considered attractive she *shouldn't* user her face as an avatar otherwise she's just trying to get followers? Bull crap, and sexist to boot.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Agreed, Tina. That certainly wasn't the point of this list - it was merely a way to point out all of my FF crushes at once. I hope no one takes offense to it. :(
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
I'm offended....I wasn't on this effing list!!
- jamar78
Sean, I'm not offended, personally. I find it rather amusing. The title of this post, to me, however, seemed rather "definitive". YMMV. :D
- Helen Sventitsky
I think I'm due for a new picture. I've used the same one since joining.
- Rochelle
Rochelle, you had that other one, the B&W one of you smiling. That was great, too
- Josh Haley
Quite a collection. There should be a male list too but then that could lead to a match-making game and apps being developed and other memes ... and ... oh dear ...
- Amani
Dammit.. I'm about to delete this post. It was not my intention to hurt anyone's feelings. :(
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
I don't think it's a problem pointing out your crushes, hun. I think it's the fact that it's titled "The Hotties of FriendFeed" that can make people kind of uncomfy. That comes across as a direct judgment of peoples' looks, even though we know you didn't mean it that way.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
@Sean don't ever apologize for your actions.
- Shevonne
Okay, I think I understand.. Thanks Amanda.. I just updated the title, hopefully it will let everyone know that this is my own personal list, and by no means a judgement of anyone.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
It's not my scene, but hey...whatevs. It just feels a little meat market-ish to me. People aren't avatars, and I know a couple on the list who wouldn't be proud of being reduced to a FF hottie on someone's list.
- Derrick
Derrick - But a lot of the stuff you post to the really gay room is pretty meat market-ish. Just because they're professional models it's okay to objectify them? We naturally objectify each other because we naturally are sexual creatures. I'm not offended by being on this list, but I don't like being objectified and I think what Haggis has done is a sweet gesture, not a gesture of blind testosterone rubbing one out.
- Mattie Kenny
Didn't anyone see me grab the popcorn earlier? That's your 1st clue.

Ugh.. no kidding.. I guarantee this list will never be mentioned again outside of these posts. I think i'm gonna unplug for a while and let this all die down.

don't let it get to you Sean....all that matters is that you had no malicious intent which you didn't

**blushes** - gee thanks. :) And go hide for a while, Sean... it'll all blow over.
- Jen (SquirrelGirl)
nice list, i have about half of these in a group called "sexy people"
- sean percival
Mattie, any pics I post in the Really Gay Room are A) *in* the Really Gay Room, and B) pictures culled from sites that are meat-marketish to begin with. I would never post pics of Scoble or Louis Gray and say, "oh these are guys I'd like to see naked". And I'm not knocking Sean. I freakin' love Sean. But I also know that there are women on the list who've worked hard at getting to where they are in life and in their careers and to be thought of as a pin-up on FF isn't their bag.
- Derrick
It's about time you chimed in Leather...LMAO...love it...haha
- jamar78
I don't see how posting this in a room would make it any different a situation, Derrick. I don't think that Sean ever said he wanted to see any of the women on the list naked. Is that something I skipped over while scanning the comments? If he said that, then yes. This list is pretty lame. But being admired for your beauty isn't bad. Especially since (for me at least) being a hottie entails being incredibly intelligent and engaging.
- Mattie Kenny
Mattie, that's exactly what I consider a hottie. Attractiveness is only part of the factor. Intelligence, a sense of humor, and many other things go into that equation.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
+100 Mattie -- There's always a fine line of taste when these things come into play. These are our normal avatar pics, not semi-nude pics, not anything gratuitous. That's what i think keeps it on the good side of the line. It's really just an innocent list.
- Lindsey is Fierce!
Mattie, I'm not going to fight with you over this. If you want to split ends, say I'm a hypocrite, or engage in double standards, feel free. I don't care. Very simply, I know people who don't want to be referred to as hotties. By anyone. I see them on the list. I speak up. That's it. There are 50 people in the RGR, maybe 20 people see it regularly. That's a HUGE difference than the numbers of people who sub to the home feed. But you know what? Forget I even opened my mouth. Apparently I've become a prude...
- Derrick
That's not what I'm saying, Derrick. Now I understand what you meant by putting the photos up in the RGR versus what Haggis did. Did these women speak up for themselves and say they don't appreciate being called attractive?
- Mattie Kenny
<3 Derrick.. I appreciate what you are saying, and think it's very commendable that you are seeing this from an angle I didn't really see. I know you only have the best intentions with what you are saying. Please no more fighting over this..
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
I just happen to know them, Mattie. And I didn't say they didn't appreciate being called attractive. I said they, knowing them as I do, woudn't appreciate being culled up on a list and pointed out for the world to ogle.
- Derrick
Sean, you know how I feel about you bud, and I'm not putting you on blast. Consider my hands washed of it.
- Derrick
Mattie, how about you look at it from the flip side...those women who DIDN'T make the list and don't have the benefit of feeling all bubbly inside because they've been deemed "attractive"? It's all well and good when you're on the winning team, apparently.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
yeah Sean you are a good person....don't beat yourself up about it
- jamar78
Although you better take my sis' out this damn list!! hehe
- jamar78
Amanda - I don't think not being on the list deems you unattractive and I don't think Haggis is the be all end all of who is or is not attractive. Wow. I'm on the list. BFD. I don't feel or bubbly inside, nor did I take it very seriously. It didn't blip in my radar until I saw people taking major offense to Haggis having posted the list, in which case I looked at it & was surprised to see myself there. I'm not on any "team".
- Mattie Kenny
Haggis, I love the conversations you spawn... feel free to include me in future provocative topics. ~xxxooo~
- Far
I would like to state for the record, should there be a men's list...I would like to opt out. That is all, thank you.
- Christian (Simply X)

- Brandy Lea
Brandy, you see this view when you go into one of your lists then select to Add/Remove friends.
- Kol Tregaskes
I think what Brandy is asking is if she can see someone else's list, which we can't. Haggis might have made a list that is friendfeed.com/list/hotties and he'll see it when he's logged in, but no one else would see it if they went to that same URL. He wouldn't even see it if he logged out and went to that URL.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
I don't think I was subscribed to you when I made this list, Jeunelle. This is almost a year old! :D

Lol, I meant to clarify and got distracted with naked supermarkets. An old client sent a recent email asking how to fix something on a site I stopped working on a long time ago and used very familiar language like "thanks bro" "could you look at this, bro" and "thanks dude." Considering we never got that friendly and he was kind of a douche...the email rubbed me the wrong way.

In the case of siblings, I usually use "bro" with a bit of a wink and a nudge. :)

Lesson learned: Be careful when you comment, especially if you are simply replying to the original post and don't read the entire thread, because there could be someone there who is battling with other people in that thread and you will get caught in the cross-fire and suddenly your feed will be attacked for some vendetta you're not involved in.

Yeah that made for one bizarre wake up this morning. Lindsay I hope it doesn't bother you too much, I think she was mostly a weirdo troll, not the scary kind, hiding under a bridge, eating you and your sisters kind :-)
- Rasmus Lauridsen
Rebbecca, this is the last time I'm going to say this and if you keep posting to my threads saying that I have attacked you then I'm just going to block you. I did NOT attack you. I posted ONE comment on a post that I didn't even bother to expand the thread on. My comment was NOT directed at you or anyone else in particular. I did NOT know who was commenting on the thread or what...

- Lindsay
I would just do that ha3rvey but it really sticks in my craw to be accused of something I didn't do. I just want her to realize that she is mistaken and that she will never make any friends if she lashes out at people like that. Of course we'll see if she has any intention of ever making friends by what she says next on this thread. If she's convinced that everyone is always out to get her then she's a lost cause. I'm giving her the opportunity to redeem herself. It's her choice.
- Lindsay
I'm sure this is explained somewhere, but I'm too lazy to search for it. Is there some reason she is typing in all caps all the time?
- Cristo
It feels like high noon at the OK Corral. (I know, I'm sorry, I'm not helping.)
- Victor Ganata
Cristo, I just read through it looking for that, but I couldn't find any reason.
- Rochelle
Rebecca Coleman is not interested in making friends, she is interested in riling people up and she will probably keep posting in your threads because you're annoyed/upset by her actions.
- Andrizzle Gizzle
@Cristo - I think I saw somewhere that she said she had some kind of physical condition and used an alternate input device but I might have read that wrong... or it could have been a lie... I can't say for sure.
- Lindsay
@Andrea - That's why I gave her the ultimatum... one more aggressive comment and that's all: I'm done with her. If she either just quits bothering me or admits that I didn't do anything to her then we're fine. I'm betting she will refuse to take the opportunity to not troll. But we'll see.
- Lindsay
Actually, Cristo, this was her response when asked about it (if you can find a valid reason in there, you win a cookie): "CAUSE I USE CAPS-IWAS SLAMMED OVER 230 POSTS,IWAS CALLED A BITCH,KOOK U NAME IT AND I WAS THREATENED THAT FAKE POSTS USING MY NAME TO EF ME UP.230 PLUS POSTS SLAMMIN ME AND I DIDNT DO NOTHING WRONG JUST SUGGESTED SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND I USE CAPS,WHICH I EXPLAINED...

- Rochelle
Lindsay, I get the feeling she's just lost it. There doesn't seem to be any point to her postings, other than to inflame. I blocked her a bit ago, so she may make more sense now. Part of me wonders if it's really some kind of social experiment. I'm not sure anybody's that crazy.
- ha3rvey, not a sweetheart
@ha3rvey - That may be... but if that's the case I hope she gets help and it sounds like she could actually use a friend... I just want to give her the opportunity to make amends. If she squanders it, then I don't feel guilty at all for blocking her then. I have only ever blocked one other person on FriendFeed, so it's actually a big deal for me.
- Lindsay
Lesson learned. Stay away from crazy people.
- Rodfather
I can understand that, Lindsay. I hope she gets it together and does just that. I'm a little too quick on the hide and block for my own good sometimes. :)
- ha3rvey, not a sweetheart
Awesome! She just left a lovely insulting message on a post I made with a picture of Audrey. What a winner this girl is.
- Rochelle
I just saw that Rochelle... WOW. I like Tad's approach (a bit bothered but ultimately showing groovy indifference, and staying above the fray). We chat with, or are some of the most prolific FF'ers in some cases. Can someone run this issue up the flag pole to get it contained? So that it doesn't drag our conversations into the gutter?
- SAM
@SAM but that's the thing: we try our best to not tell others how to use this service. Hiding and blocking what you don't want to see is up to you (generic) so, it really doesn't matter what another user does. It is up to me to define what I see on Friendfeed, not anyone else.

you are getting reported in CAPS. the account seems fake.

Mike, I thought so too but she has a Twitter account that looks real, so that threw me off. Edit: Looks like she just made her Twitter account private.

"The burger arrives looking beautiful with another perfectly round, brioche bun. The menu describes the burger as coming with arugula, Fiscalini Farms cheddar, brown sugar glazed bacon, a house-made aioli, and ketchup. I have to say, I sometimes get a bit suspicious of a menu that sources every product for me. It can feel like I’m being bullied. I get it—you buy your products from places that have names and reputations."

"I've really been craving Ethiopian food lately. Maybe I'm deficient in pulses, or just have a jones for hallucinogenically spicy food. The first time I tried Ethiopian food, I didn't really know much about it other than its reputation for being hot, that it leans heavily toward vegetarian proteins like lentils, and that it's eaten with the hands, using a spongy flatbread to scoop. This all proved to be true, but my preconceived notions were such gross understatement of this cuisine. Looking around the kitchen, I noticed that I'd depleted my stores of berberé, and I wanted to smell chiles, ginger, toasted onions and fenugreek in my Sunday kitchen."
- Admiral Anika
from Bookmarklet
It is good. I think it's been about 7 or 8 months since we last went to an Ethiopian restaurant. Since we're broke and all the restaurants are clear across town, there's no reason not to make it at home. When I was homeless and crashing at a friend's place, her mom would rope me into cooking all the time. It was fun, easy and tasty.

Rahsheen -- but that really has nothing to do with shortening does it ?
- Brian Sullivan
i'm still confused about the business model of all of these... cant be showing ads on the redirect, as people would not accept that anymore. Is it the accumulated intelligence?

Selling to somebody else with bigger pockets -- like the business model of most tech start ups?
- Brian Sullivan
Brian, I guess you hit the nail on the head, then. The URL shortening business model has less to do with actually shortening URL's than it does with collecting and connecting information about links, which is very valuable.Just so happens that also making the link as short as possible makes it easier to distribute.

Myrna, she certainly knows how to make a cake look aesthetically pleasing to the eye! :) As for these being added to list, baby ... consider it done!! ;p <333

One friend remarked, “What is a banh mi?” For those not in the know, this is the sandwich of all sandwiches for spicy food lovers. Slathered with a mayo-Sriracha mixture, a banh mi is a Vietnamese-inspired sandwich made from pickled veggies, cilantro, jalapenos and various meats piled on a French baguette. Just because there's no banh mi restaurant in your area, doesn’t mean you can’t experience the deliciousness of this exotic sandwich. I tried to make an easy version, but with enough taste and pep to still mimic the original. My problem with most banh mi recipes is they're too complicated to attempt, either with time-consuming braised pork or other difficult recipes for the meat. When I think of "sandwich," I want it to be easy. One option to make this even quicker is using supermarket paté (I got mine from Whole...

"We especially love junk food. That's why we were fascinated by all the bizarre, filthy and fantastic names of junk food products we found while searching for our favorite Malaysian M&Ms on the Internet."

Thanks guys. I posted this originally right when I first launched the site. . . back before I know anything about photography, much less food photography. Let's just say the original has hopefully been forgotten.

I do like the alternative versions to french manicures but I don't know about black. Pretty though. Just not sure if I'd carry it off.
