But I don't WANT a post the most offensive possible while staying safe for work picture with :( as the heading meme! The meme committee forbids it!

chill out people... hardly a bad pic. :o) had to look twice myself to see what the fuss was, so it can't be THAT obvious lol. :o)

What if I just promise not to bump it?
- Josh Haley
How would you precisely phrase this promise? Let's revise and get that language exactly right
- Matthew DeVries
Do your balls hang low? do they wabble to and fro? Can you tie them in a knott? Can you tie them in a bow? Can you throw them over your shoulder like a contenental solgier? Do your nuts hang low?
- Fake Elmo
Nuts or balls, Elmo? (I bet that gets said all the time)
- Josh Haley
Those would be far more impressive than the set dangling from the back of my pickup currently. Is there anything more classy than a scrotum hanging from the back of your car.
- Matthew DeVries
this is the thread that keeps on giving whether you want it to or not

"Fondo Colanco is a private ranch that I visited on the day of the Spring castration. We watched about 30 bulls get snipped and then retired to a barn for the day. We stripped the balls from the scrota, taking them to a giant plow set over an open wood fire for searing in oil, garlic, and chiles before parking them between two homemade rolls for hand sandwiches. The scrota were sauteed...

- Josh Haley
Did you know that during the end credits of Borat, there is a picture like this, of a different woman in a similar hat cupping a bull's balls? I found that very interesting and now am trying to figure out what the real meaning of it all is.
- Josh Haley
from iPhone
the meaning is... wow, never felt balls like it... :P

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

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.

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.

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..

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.

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.

I, for one, refuse to "bump" posts...it's very unseemly...

There is nothing silly about it. This is serious business.

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.

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'

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.

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."

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.

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.

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 Fuller
I don't think even Canadians know that difference.

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.

Hendrick’s Gin is a little harder to find and a little more expensive, but it’s well worth the search. Made in Scotland, it clocks in at 88 proof. And wile it has the usual botanical infusions of juniper, coriander and citrus peel, what makes Hendrick’s so unique is the addition of cucumber and rose petals.

Hendrick's IS good, but I like that Bombay stuff. WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

- Matthew DeVries
I was a huge Sapphire fan until I tried Hendricks. Now if I could just track down some authentic Genever.
- Kyle Hebert
Yeah I was on Sapphire until Hendrick's, too. I love gin, but hate tonic. That means the gin has to be good enough to go with just ice or as a gimlet.
- Ben Hanten
Ben, I don't know if you have it in your part of the world, but there's a pop called Squirt out here, that is the most magical gin mixer ever there was. Take a highball, ice to 3/4 full, a jigger of gin, top off with squirt.

If I die of a heart attack because of eating food like this, I want my memorial service slide-show to alternate between images of food like this and images of me with a huge grin on my face. :)

You know how it is when you bite into a dog that's way too big for the bun and it's just so much better because of it? That's these times 20.

Damn you, Josh Haley! Do you think this would work with turkey sausage and faken bacon bits? It's all I got, man! But I need it now!

I stayed here Friday night. (1) Kitchen is open 22 hrs/day (VERY hard to find an all night kitchen at a hostel) - closed 6-7 am, 2-3 pm for cleaning (2) Gives you free sandals (3) Free breakfast (4) Free wireless was so flaky, it was almost unusable. Sometimes you just can't log on. (5) Price was $39.99/night. They waived the $3 non-HI-member fee. Boston hostel and hotel prices are ridiculous. (Even NYC has great $22-26/night hostels.
- Mitchell Tsai
Boston real estate has not crashed as much as other places. In fact, Cambridge is much more expensive than last year. The hostel employees said rents in Boston are really high still, and haven't dropped.
- Mitchell Tsai
Reserved 3 nights (Tue 8/25/09 - Fri 8/28/09) for $44.99 x 3 = $134.97 (+$3/night for non-members, which they waived last visit). "Cancellations no charge up to 23:59 Boston time night before arrival. Call 888-999-4678 to cancel. Email cancellations are not accepted the day before arrival." (I used a disposable $25 credit card to make the reservation, so they can't charge me).

Orion was pretty much fur and bones when he first got here. You could feel every rib and vertebrae not to mention his hip bones all jutting out there. He was tiny and and pathetic. In just a week so far he has filled in some and become a boisterous happy little boy ready to take over the world!

oh that's much smarter. He's waaaaaaaaay cuter than I am :)
- metalerik
This cat is absolutely adorable!!!!!!
- The Catz Meow
Orion had a good vet visit. He gained 7oz which is great as he was so so skinny last week. He gets to be with us for one more week and then he will go up for adoption.
- Rachel Lea Fox
beautiful photos, what a handsome gentleman he is!
- Melissa Maskevich
If he keeps this up, I might have to stop calling him "Furbone."
- Cyrus Lendvay
I don't know Cy, I think you may need to stop now, there some definite meat on those furbones now!!
- Rachel Lea Fox
*chuckles* @ 2nd pic. tiny Orion, he'll be a BIG, tough cat someday ;D
- 'Like' robot (frɐnc)
Franc ☺ he will be, but he already thinks he is big and tough. He has been jumping on Nym's head like he is the biggest thing in the world and nothing could stop him. It's super cute!
- Rachel Lea Fox
bumping this because I'm taking Orion back to the shelter in a couple hours.
- Rachel Lea Fox
give him a little scratch for me. Thanks for being so good them Rachel.
- metalerik
done metalerik. he is laying on my lap right now. We are enjoying our last bit of time together. *sighs*
- Rachel Lea Fox
Rachel: I hope they finds the best home for him. I try not to be sad everytime I hear one of your foster kittens is back to the shelter, you're so good to them :'(
- 'Like' robot (frɐnc)
Franc ☺, I try not to be sad too, but I cry every time. Kevin, they are all on Flickr, we use the Flickr API to host them on my blog. If you click on any one of those photos it will take you to the flickr page for that photo or you can visit my flickr foster kittens set here: http://www.flickr.com/photos...

She is wonderful, but remember to let her dig in the garden and get dirty, and not just be beautiful, that we sometimes forget with a pretty girl as yours, but you probably already now that :)
- Lars Clausen
Good point Lars, don't let her grow up into a vain skill-free doll because you're so entranced with her beauty. Believe me, I know some of those women, and life gets quite rough around 40.

Not to be confused with the greeting I send to breakfast food that Josh makes better than almost anyone: 'Hi Biscuits!'

Well, this time, Morgan is right :p. I do make some mean baking powder biscuits.

I told Trish yesterday how much I loved it when Zoe's hair used to stick straight up in hair-tie, so she did it like that just for me today. :)
- Josh Haley
awww. I want to squish her, but in the good way. Hi, Zoe!
- pea
I know she would have enjoyed these Crumb Topped Blueberry-Lemon Cheesecake Bars. They're extraordinarily good, and my favorite dessert I've made in a while. The base to these bars is a buttery shortbread, topped with lemony cheesecake filling, followed by fresh blueberries, and a crumb topping made from brown sugar, cinnamon, butter, flour and toasted almonds.

I have to be honest, I love pineapple in cakes, but this cake doesn't sound that appealing to me. Firstly, it's cake from a box, and secondly, it's packet pudding. It's not that hard to do both from scratch. IMO the only cakes better then sex are a Hummingbird cake and/or a damn good Cheesecake.
- Will Higgins™
For a cake to be better than sex, it would have to involve a lot of chocolate, and possibly some pharmaceuticals.

Sources said Microsoft search technology will be used on Yahoo sites, although it is not clear if it will be branded as “powered by Bing”–Microsoft’s handsome and innovative new search offering–or not.
- Bindu Reddy

I am actually rather surprised at the fact that Yahoo search is going to replaced by Bing. Last I checked it seems like Bing's search quality is much worse than Yahoo's.
- Bindu Reddy
It's hilarious that this is the opposite of the deal that seemed to be in the works two years ago, with Yahoo! Search being incorporated into Microsoft's.
- Kevin Fox
Kevin, yup... I was thinking this as well. I thought Yahoo had the technology and MSFT had the distribution.
- Bindu Reddy
So I am guessing Google is currently pressing some large red panic button?
- Bindu Reddy
Bindu: why? Does this get Yahoo or Microsoft on the iPhone?
- Robert Scoble
I can't imagine Yahoo and Bing joining is worrying to Google in the least.
- Soup
Robert, I know Yahoo and MSFT has been talking forever about joining forces. Now it seems like it is really happening now. Bing regardless of search quality has gotten a rather good response from the tech blogsphere. For the 1st time I am actually seeing a competitor to Google and Google takes competition pretty seriously :)
- Bindu Reddy
Kang, anyways this is just me speculating. I could be completely wrong :)
- Bindu Reddy
Bindu: oh, I'm sure this is being taken seriously inside Google. But panic? No. It'll be interesting to see the big guns shoot at each other over the next couple of years.
- Robert Scoble
Robert: You are right... "panic" is prob. not completely accurate but there is definitely going to be a lot of action at Google HQ. It will indeed be interesting to see how the situation develops. So far, I don't believe they have really taken each other all that seriously. Partly because they are both clearly #1 by a huge margin in their core products and I think for the 1s time that...
