Wow, whatever you do, don't google "Asian guys at beach licking" if you want to find the Flickr account for this. No, seriously. Just...don't. o.O
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
changed my life forever...I will always go to the beach with a a few chubby buddies after porking myself up for those bosoms ~ and this image is most definitely going in the ol' spank bank

Remember ! I bring quality product to Friend Feed !:)
- Akiva Moskovitz
you know what would be funny: ok bear with me, if we blindfolded leather donut (you know the booby man) and...yeah fill in the blanks...something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch...

Sir, randomly linking to your FriendFeed from one of my posts is oh wait you'll never see this because you're blocked for spamming. Thanks anyway, kaghazrangy.
- Akiva Moskovitz
damn this picture just won't go away - you have forced me to hide it
- William Harryman
Akiva, wasn't that pic taken at your last BBQ?
- Paul
Every time I see this picture I smile. Their joy is infectious, like herpes.
- Sparky
Paul, I surely do wish I had a beach in my back yard!
- Akiva Moskovitz
Sparky, I'm going to have this blown up to poster-size and attaching it to the ceiling above our bed. That'll cause some infections!
- Akiva Moskovitz
makes me want to grow a rack and diddle with my own, know what I'm saying?
- sofarsoShawn
this. . . .this. . . ugh . . . so fucking wrong.
- Peter Ghosh
Akiva - you can put anything you want above our bed.
- Sparky
i've been trying to formulate a comment for this for days, but i just...can't.
- joey
I still want to know the motivation here. is this a gay marriage argument? or are we already pushing group social contracts on friendfeed?
- Noah David Simon
oh man this one keeps popping up on ma friendfeed,....must spread virus nao
- Chris Hofmann
I'm surprised no one's noticed old boy's red-framed glasses.
- Akiva Moskovitz
oh right... the glasses are so important when three asian men are licking his nipples and all the comments are by people who think gay marriage has something to do with equality... when it has everything to do with taking protections away from children. the red glass glasses.... um yeah. chicken and Oklahoma with milk
- Noah David Simon
Mark, you have uncovered the dark underbelly of humanity except in this case it isn't dark but is rather a pasty hue somewhere in the vicinity of undercooked flan.

This should be in the default noobie FF stream. Like the first thing anyone who signs up sees. If they stick around they're part of the family.

I wonder if the FriendFeed guys see this and say to themselves, 'Well, this isn't exactly what we had in mind when we started started FriendFeed.'

Just about the time you FF is getting some class .. Oh well we is what we is.

I can't believe after all this time some diligent FF'er hasn't dug up the identities (I said "titties") of this bunch and invited them to join the service that made them famous. Mitchell Tsai, get to work!

i think if you unlike and delete all your comments anna it'll go away, but hide in general would be nice too (this photo makes me smile every time it pops up so don't mind it)...

*sigh* This is never going away, is it? It's gonna end up like James Bond movies and Swedish meatballs - always existing in the same form. never diminshing, never forgotten. :( :( :(

It will go away, to be replaced with photoshops of the original. It's all part of the meme lifecycle.
- Sparky
I am too new on friendfeed to know anything about record comments.. I love gmail tho, puts all the comments in one threaded email and I can delete them all later in one shot or not if I choose..

You can't close this thread. A lot of people say that this place is a Scoble-fest but, truly, it is this thread that is at the very heart of FriendFeed.

I'm officially going to proclaim that this is the FF equivalent of Goatse or FFoatse if you will. Lets all refer to it as that from this point forward.

Chris, you just woke up? C'mon, man! It's 10:30!

I knew he would break eventually - it's fitting that it's on this thread *now to find out how to hide a thread once you've commented....*
- WorldofHiglet
As much as I am loathe to bump this post, I have to do it to say, You, sir, are a master. Well played, sir. Well played. This is why I take every opportunity to say, in my next life, I want to be Akiva. I've already called it! Don't anybody go getting any more ideas.
- ♥patricia♥
I, for one, refuse to "bump" posts...it's very unseemly...

I wish FF-search allowed to do GROUP BY -aggregations so I could COUNT(*) who are the biggest *bump*ers. :)

Makes me laugh everytime I see it. Such a happy yet silly scene by the sea.
- Toby Graham
There is nothing silly about it. This is serious business.
- Sparky
The more I see this, the more I like it. Not for the ironic nipple-licking, but because these kids are genuinely enjoying themselves. :) Carry on.

This photo looks so much better in iPhone 3.0!#!~

Seriously dude. What do I have to do to get rid of this disgusting picture!? Doh! Now I've just pushed it back to the top... yuck, I'm so sickened.

- Bec Rowe @d0tski
Oops! I hope I didn't just bump this up again... ;-)
- Sprague D
It's just so refreshing to see genuine juvenile humour at work. These kids are no different from any other, I think it's a great happy image, given all the other shite happening in this world on a daily basis. For those that are too pompous and prudish, 'up yours with brass knobs'
- ImJustCreative
Wow. 666. Nice! Actually, the reason Asashoryu is getting a divorce ( http://ff.im/4T0UA ), is because he wants to spend time with this lot.

To this day, the pic still comes back. Just like Herpes. :D
- Danny Minick
Although unlike herpes this photo is fun to share with friends.

I just use this image as a way to announce crap. no one really pays attention to my feed... except my enemies. so when I have something important to say I tell the Asian Titty lickers. it is my strong belief that this thread needs it's very own domain name. something like http://xrl.us/TittyLickers
- Noah David Simon
You know, every time this pops up, since FF hides the middle of the comments of which there are 804 or so, I see Akiva say "I'm sorry." at the top. It makes me wonder about how some things are just not possible to apologize for!

the thing that strikes me about this (aside from the obvious) is after seeing this thing pop up like 35-40 times since March its just occurred to me that I don't have any (guy) friends that a) would lick my nipples b) would lick my nipples for a photograph. Maybe I should get out more...
- J. Abdul-Qahhar
I'm a little scared that I've this has gotten more than 800 comments and almost 200 likes over nearly five months and I still haven't clicked "Hide."

- Ian May
Allright, you guys ready to shoot "mirth and girth"?
- Rick Cogley
For the life of me, I'll never understand the emotion people have around this picture for or against. There's no nudity at all, not even implied nudity. Less dude nudity than a beer commercial or cigarette ad, yet there are people who really really really hate this picture.

- sofarsoShawn
The bumping algorithm includes things like novel people posting to it, in addition to thread age, and rapidity of comments. If the same 3 people are talking in a thread, it quits bumping because it's obviously a closed tea party.
- Matthew DeVries
I forgot, also you're a very handsome guy(saw the wedding images), I don't understand why you don't like to share your face. Rochelle is a lucky lady.

Jimminy, it's an irrational phobia. No different than people who are afraid of heights, spiders, clowns, or Canada.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Akiva, now I'm LMAO at the fear of Canada. People are actually afraid of Canada, or just the fact they don't know if they're British or French?
- Jimminy
I don't think even Canadians know that difference.
- Akiva Moskovitz
If Friendfeed had sound .. this thread would be all licks and slurps

On Fark, there was this one thread, that just kept growing and growing. On Fark, it was a single page per thread. And you could post images and gif inline. Well the thread wouldn't die, people just kept posting. I forget which one it was. Anyway, it got so monsterous, that few people going to read/post to it per day (which was only a handfull) accounted for 1/3 of the server load of the site. They eventually had to cull that thread.
- Matthew DeVries
I think everyone who has participated in this thread has 'culled' themselves privately.

Cheerwine - I'll have to be on the lookout for this when I'm back in an area that sells it. It's mostly in the southeast US and in areas with a high concentration of young hipsters (NYC, LA, Portland, OR, etc.) At least we have Vernors up here. UPDATE: I found some here in Indianapolis! - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
From http://www.cheerwinefinder.com/ "Cheerwine has been found in the following states: Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, Maryland, Missouri, North Carolina, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia"

We have it in abundance in Atlanta:)
- Roney Smith
I'm sure, Roney. I lived there for several months. Wish I'd been aware of it back then. How does it taste?
- Kamilah Gill
Heard of it, but have never seen it in the flesh. I think they had it in Austin.
- Derrick
We had it in the college dorm cafeteria in Lincoln, NE.
- Jordan Hofker
Derrick, cheerwinefinder.com claims it's in southern California somewhere. If you really want to try it out, you could check that site. Jordan, you might want to add that sighting to that website. They didn't get Nebraska yet.
- Kamilah Gill
Did we talk about this before? Very few regional sodas left. I get Cheer Wine and Sun Drop from my mom in NC. I also grew up on Vernors.
- Jason
from iPhone
I'm only 30 miles away from the factory, apparently I've heard thy have other flavors, or they used too.
- Jimminy
Jason, I may have missed the earlier conversation. I'd love to get a list of remaining regional sodas. They do fascinate me a little bit.
- Kamilah Gill
I know that there's a soda store somewhere in LA that sells all kinds of crazy sodas, Derrick. Heard about them on NPR or some such.
- Alex Scoble
Honestly though, I didn't really enjoy the flavor when I had it. I do like crowd-sourcing, so I added it to the site. :-)
- Jordan Hofker
Jordan, I'm sure someone out there will really appreciate that :)

It's terrible that the industry makes it that way but it does not absolve the consumer of guilt for buying it and creating more waste. Wanna waste less? Buy a laser printer.
- Spidra Webster
Spidra, laser printers aren't much better. The toner cartridges are expensive, not as bad as buying a new printer right away, but you will only replace them once, maybe twice before you get to the point where the photoreceptor drum needs to be replaced, the thing is so horribly expensive that you might as well buy a new one. Cost wise at least, waste wise buying the damn drum is better. :(
- Rachel Lea Fox
That has not been my experience with them. I used an Apple Personal LaserWriter for more than a decade. Never needed to replace the drum. Only replaced the cartridge once or twice.
- Spidra Webster
But now printer manufacturers mandate that their drums will only last for X pages, and they chip the drums and track the pages, then stop the printer from working until you replace the drum *even though the drum still works* in order to get you to buy a new drum. It's despicable.
- Kevin Fox
It only gets better... I purchased an $200+ HP WiFi capable printer with 6 separate ink cartridges. Then when it came time to replace some of the colors I discovered that the ink cartridges that came with the new printer were about half of the capacity of the normal replacements. I guess waiting for a set of normal capacity cartridges to get used up before the customer buys a new printer was just taking too long!

Please can some of my fellow FF'ers that live in climates that ARE ACTUALLY COLD please chime in here and back me up. I lived in Chicago until I was 13 and that was cold...what we have on the west coast is a mild chill compared to that.
- Mark Krynsky
Backing you up from Indianapolis. Just under two hundred miles south of Chicago.
- Kamilah Gill
It's not that it's colder than those places, though, Mark. It's that it's cold and it's not SUPPOSED to be cold. In St. Louis, 50 degree weather doesn't bother me at all. It's SUPPOSED to be colder than that. Cold in LA feels psychologically colder than it does in places that actually get cold. Especially when your heater doesn't work so it's 50 degrees inside your apartment, too.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
It's near freezing here in PDX...it's cold.
- Alex Scoble
When I lived in Chicago, it seemed people still usually wore coats and turned on the heat when the temperature was 50 degrees, though. :D
- Victor Ganata
hush yer mouth Victor :P 50 is nothing. I bet those were california weather wussy transplants, not true Chicagoans...
- Kamilah Gill
Living in NE gives me the right to smack back with a frozen cup of Dunkin' Donuts coffee. :)
- Heather
I used to walk about 10 blocks to school every day in the snow during winter. Many of those days were sub-zero degree days made even colder by the windchill factor. I welcome this wannabe chilly weather with open arms knowing what true cold really means.
- Mark Krynsky
Just because your parents were NUTZ and lived in a place like that doesn't give you the right to go swinging your trout around at anyone that has the good sense to live in a proper climate. :P Now.. that I've said that... Damn I'm hot.. I need to pull off some of these layers... as is proper people cloth themselves when its cold outside.
- CW™
Cold is my hometown in Montana. Currently -11 with 86% humidity. 8 degrees in No. CO right now.

You come upon a cliff and you see dangling from it seconds away from dying, losing their grip, 1 random unknown human and all of the Gorillas on the planet. You only have time to save either the human, or all the Gorillas (they're all like in the same bag or something) Which do you save?
I wonder if the answer to this says anything about a person. I wonder if any person would chose them-self over all of the gorillas in the world.

But damn they are sexy! The secret is to NOT weigh it down like they did. A monitor, keyboard, and mouse is all that should ever be on a glass desk.
- Sparky
So, I should stop storing my freeweights on one???
- Jordan Hofker
I used to have a full glass desk. It was made of safety glass, though, and the sides, back support and top were glued together. It supported my laptop with all the peripherals. And sometimes even my legs when I put my feet up. :-)
- Rene Wirtz
I'm generally scared to even touch glass desks. They just look....breakable.
- Jordan Hofker
With the right glass, you shouldn't. Think about, cars have glass windshields and they can withstand quite the impact.

Yeah, but most windshields cost more than the general glass desk you pick up. :-)
- Jordan Hofker
My custom made desk was 600 euros ...

Two reasons. First, the snark: I haven't drank the Google kool-aid; second, the other snark: Whether I install Dr. DOS or Chrome OS, I get about the same results out of it: something that I will look at for a few minutes but never, ever use.
- Akiva Moskovitz
I like things that work. Google makes products I use that work. Call it kool-aid; I call it productivity. I swim in the kool-aid.
- Jeremy (cropmarks)
Yeah, Google Koolaid > Mac Koolaid (What about MS-Bob? )
- Matthew DeVries
I think it's all about branding. If this were coming from some unknown source, people wouldn't care nearly as much.
- Akiva Moskovitz
That is a distinct possibility - but chrome is mighty. On the other hand Launchy > Gdesktop.
- Jeremy (cropmarks)
They wouldn't care at all. I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't want Google in control of what I run on my computer.
- Jordan Hofker
Jordan, just you wait. Once the underdog veneer fully washes off of Google, people will turn against them just like they're currently turning against Apple. People in America love it when something is successful as long as it isn't TOO successful.
- Akiva Moskovitz
So then accelerating that arc should be in your interest?
- Matthew DeVries
That's just it: I don't have an interest. I'm like Jeremy: I use what works for me. And I don't choose software based on politics: I couldn't give a crap less about FOSS and I won't not use a Microsoft product just because it's Microsoft. Google is my primary mail and maps provider but that's about it. Like Jordan, I certainly don't want Google in control of everything. Diversification is essential.

I like Google, because they don't actually seem to do/create/run anything. They just keep setting up amorphous playgrounds and let the kids decide how the toys should be used. All these properties and still, the only thing they make a dime on is simple targeted highly specific to your interest text ads. Everything the create is just to put that little bitty bit of text in front of your eyes from time to time. I like that philosophy a whole lot.
