Ugh, I think shaving the genital region is repulsive. One, I like *some* hair, and all of it on man. Two, stubble is evil. Still, this is funny.
- fn (fairnymph)
still confused; this new “girls-with-pubes” fad is going to take a while for me to deal with.
- Anthony Citrano
No, pubic hair is not at all new for girls who've gotten old enough to develop secondary sex characteristics. I really hope you won't just take my word for it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
- MiniMage, sheeple of FF
SCREW YOU HAGGIS... I wax me legs, I spend hours in the hairdressers and weeks doing my makeup for you... YOU BASTARD... I HATE YOU... *runs off sobbing*
- Johnny Worthington
Oh I have you in another list Johnny: Crossdressing Australians of FF.
- 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.
- Josh Haley
Sean you created a monster didn't you....hehe
- jamar78
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.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
ok i just now read the whole thread damnit i always miss everything lol joel... ::shakes head:: u kno to some i'm not a lil sister lol ur so funny i luv u!
- Cardeen Martinez
don't let it get to you Sean....all that matters is that you had no malicious intent which you didn't
- jamar78
**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)

Ok I am not the brightest crayon in the box so I want to know how the hell do you see a list of people like that. I have different lists but where do I go to see all in just that one list?
- 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
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Don't misunderstand what I mean. I mean I am thankful I didn't make the list period. PRAISE THE LORD :)
- Jeunelle Foster
We should have an Academy Award of FriendFeed or something. That I would have a long ass speech prepared telling everybody how I'd like to thank all the little people who were responsible for me winning that award and it should be sponsored by Mashable and FFundercats :)

ChiliMac, on a serious note, it's really dependent on the parties conversing. I've openly had many discussions on religion. It's also helpful to comprehend the other party's(ies') views and backgrounds, to have amicable discussions. :)

Mona: You are absolutely right, it does depend on the parties. I believe most people still know how to and are polite and respectful of one another. I was having this conversation with a friend from my church the other night. His roommate had criticized him for reading books by Dawkins. We disagreed with him. We should understand those who have different opinions then ours and be respectful to one another.

my car does the same thing, once she hears a can opening.

- Peter Dawson
Peter, that's awesome! We didn't realize she liked Doritos until she stole one from my husband and growled when we tried to take it away. The tequila was an accident too: I made tequila lime chicken and left the marinade in the bowl while we ate dinner. 20 minutes later she walked into the room kinda sideways....
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
My kitten will take a Dorito and lick all the flavor off of it, delicately flip it over and lick the other side clean. Then she'll eat it. It's hilarious. I have yet to find anything she WON'T eat.
- Ladybug Heather

[UPDATE: Skip the plugin and just go with the bookmarklet: http://ffcheck.com. Same functionality, plus cross-browser compat, plus bug fixes] My first FireFox extension, version 0.1 - "ffcheck provides a toolbar button which, when clicked, displays a list of all the FriendFeed items related to the page you're currently visiting."
- Ken Sheppardson
from Bookmarklet
that's pretty cool, i'm usually hangin' in Safari but I'll check this out in FF, want to try that twitter/googlesearch greasemonkey script too
- Brian Hendrickson
One thing that using it has made painfully apparent to me is how ...well... imbalanced FriendFeed turns out to be. If you see an item from one of the big name FriendFeed users, you can bet there are probably 20+ other users who've shared the same item, often a day or two before. If you're not already following them, you have no idea they "broke the story", they often get no conversation around what they post, and are sort of relegated to tree-falling-in-the-forest status.
- Ken Sheppardson
Maybe this little tool can help folks track stories back "up stream". Before you share something, you can look to see if it's already shared and just comment on that item. It consolidates the conversation and connects you with the people who found the item first/earlier.
- Ken Sheppardson
I've installed this but I have no toolbar or toolbar icon Like I say on FF Feedback post if it works like feedly with a set of icons at the bottom of every page, then I'd love to have this as a script in Chrome. Sadly feedly doesn't work in feedly so this could perhaps trump them. :-) Give feedly a go in FFox to see what I mean, their icons appear bottom right.
- Kol Tregaskes
Ken, this sounds really interesting and I agree it might help with content duplication. Installing now!
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Yeah got the bookmarklet, ta. But do you see what I mean about feedly? :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Packaging this as a bookmarklet is great, Ken. Thanks for putting the "x" to close in. Could you add this: jQuery("#ffcheck_close").hover(function(){$(this).css('cursor','pointer')}) so instead of the i-beam, the pointer/hand displays when about to click the 'x'. Thanks!
- Micah Wittman
Kol: Yeah, I've gone through two stints with Feedly - once early on and again about a month ago. I'm pretty comfortable in Google Reader as it is--just using keyboard shortcuts to plow through my feeds pretty quickly--and Feedly made things feel more disorganized. I also recall that the FF link feature only displayed the most popular(?) conversation, which most of the time isn't the original item. I think it's certainly possible to use both, no?
- Ken Sheppardson
Micah: Done. Thanks. Keep 'em coming :-) If you want to grab the uncompressed source, it's javascript-full.
- Ken Sheppardson
I just grabbed ffcheck.com and moved this over to http://ffcheck.com, so if anyone is so inclined they can delete the bookmarklet that points to kshep.net and grab it again from there.
- Ken Sheppardson
Micah: I've been meaning to sign up for SmugMug :-) I'll check it out.
- Ken Sheppardson
Ken, it's specifically the set of icons in the bottom right of each page (not on feedly.com but elsewhere) that I mean, i.e when you visit, say, a news.bbc.co.uk article these items tell you if it's on DIgg and how many comments, if it's on FF and how many entries, if it's been shared in Google Reader by your friends and how many times and if it's been shared on feely and by how many. Then give you icons for sharing the page. It would be great to have this on Chrome.
- Kol Tregaskes
That's the one, if you can re-create that in Chrome, I'll be your biggest fan. :-D
- Kol Tregaskes
If you haven't heard it as yet, I can report that the bookmarklet works on IE7 on XP as well. Small tools rock! Thank you.
