"The question bounced around the Internet and tumbled from the lips of Washington insiders: Why would Barack Obama choose Caroline Kennedy, a reluctant public figure with little affection for modern politics, to vet the next Democratic vice presidential candidate?" - RAPatton via Bookmarklet
She should pull a Cheney and select herself. - RAPatton
For a week after the appointment, all the press (new an old) could do was say how smart a move it was, how it difussed much of the HRC stuff. Short memories ;) - Michael W. May via twhirl

Lost in Translation keeps coming to mind - Michael W. May via twhirl
Michael, I still haven't seen Lost in Translation. silpol, thankfully two of the friends I'm catching up with here are doctors - they both said I'll live :) I trust them (despite their levels of sobriety - or lack thereof). - Patricia Hanrahan
Glad to hear you got it attended to :) Saddened to hear you haven't seen Lost in Translation yet, though, happy you have it to look forward to. - Michael W. May

I keep secretly wishing I hit some sort of usage limit so I have to walk away. Damn you Friendfeed and your scalability! - Mark Trapp
It's a lot harder for me to walk away from FriendFeed than Twitter. - Michelle Martinez
I refresh often too - Judy Jones
F5 = crack - Hutch Carpenter
Welcome to da club? - Yuvi
I find FF more interesting as well. - Globecode
I resent the implication that ever-refreshing FriendFeed is not constructive! - Marco
lol@Hutch Indeed - Shey
It's gotten so bad that I have to regulate myself. I use a plug-in for FireFox called Leechblock that you can use to limit your time during the work day.: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-... - Dan Kaplan
huh? F5 just blips my Mac's little sound level at me. - Thomas Hawk
@Thomas F5 = Command + R on a PC. Refresh. - Parth Awasthi
Yes, FF is the new internet addiction. F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5... - Tad Donaghe
The only way to solve this problem is for you people to post quicker ;) - Earl E Morningwood
Use LeechBlock, limit yourself to 5 minutes an hour, you won't be sorry. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-... - Jason Wehmhoener
@Jason you essentially just told Amy Winehouse she should check herself into rehab - how likely do you think we are to match your show of discipline? lol ; ) - Marco
At some point we just need FF to auto-refresh every second and include a pause button so we can stop the action to read stuff that catches our eyes. That would be pretty freaky, huh? - Tad Donaghe
it has been eating into my reading and sleeping time - RAPatton
What? Reading Friendfeed isn't constructive or creative? - Tom Landini
like right now, for example - Sarah Perez
Sometimes I interrupt what I'm doing (re-reading the manual for Twilight Struggle) just to check for new FriendFeed action. Totally addicted. - Akiva Moskovitz
I do that too. But now we're going to see the Incredible Hulk. - Robert Scoble
F5=Crack. Crack is Whack. Flickr = Crack. FF is the new Flickr. - Russellreno
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O... It helps if you don't notice the walls of the maze aren't very high and there are these people looking down on you. - Karim
RusselReno, I had to double-check to make sure that you weren't Steve Gillmor - Todd McKinney
@Todd rofl - Michael W. May via twhirl
+1 rofl for Todd. And good one Russell. - Hutch Carpenter
and sometimes you just can't help a 'likey' even thought you didn't click ... right? :) - Charlie Anzman
a bigger screen real estate could mitigate this problem - Ramesh Ramloll via twhirl
Yeah it's addictive :) - JegerPhil - Phil via NoiseRiver
Wait that's not normal??? - Mona N
FrF cries for TTS ;) - silpol
time consumption is simply the manual behavior. Get an auto refresher and save a micro second. ;) then again, if you want to remain aware, you have to read everything! - thecolor
use twhirl and updates come automatically to your desktop... no need of refresh, layout is awesome (discussions, etc) - Gustavo Munoz via twhirl
If we could get paid for using FriendFeed, wouldn't we all have our own private islands? - possible248

Tag: Must Read. - Russellreno
I doubt that anyone who was arguing for creationism would come up with most of those 15 reasons. If they can come up with those reasons, which are all pseudo-sophisticated, and arguing for creationism they are playing devil's advocate. The creationist argument is more like "the bible told me so," or "didn't you read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe?" - RAPatton

Very interesting! - Martin Bryant
"It requires ... a widespread neural power failure in females." - RAPatton
"Neuroscientist Gert Holstege of the University of Gro­ningen in the Netherlands and his colleagues attempted to solve the male side of the equation by asking the female partners of 11 men to stimulate their partner’s penis until he ejaculated while they scanned his brain using positron-emission tomography (PET)." No, no, I really *am* a scientist... that's not a camera, that's my, uh, brain-scanning machine. yeah BRAIN scanning. Also, I assume he = "partner" and not "neuroscientist" - Karim
"During ejaculation, the researchers saw extraordinary activation of the ventral tegmental area (VTA), a major hub of the brain’s reward circuitry; the intensity of this response is comparable to that induced by heroin." Heroine = heroin? - Karim
"He went so far as to declare at the 2005 meeting of the European Society for Human Reproduction and Development: 'At the moment of orgasm, women do not have any emotional feelings.'" [raises Spock eyebrow] Fascinating. - Karim
will read it thoroughly when my own brain is working better. Interesting first page, though. - Michael W. May via twhirl

yes you should have! Now he has to play it cool. Do you really want him to play it cool? - RAPatton
We will both play it cool. He will be here in 2 hours lol - Michelle Miller
When you are making small talk make sure you tell him you have baby fever. - RAPatton
hmmm... a Jaiku post here @ FF. must. do. same... :) - Barbara K. Baker
"Why didn't you call?" "I called but they wanted a tracking number. I was hoping we could <insert date here> and you could write it down for me then?" Problem solved! - Mark Trapp
@rapatton Yeah that will scare him off for sure. - Michelle Miller
Mark, the old tracking number excuse. For all we know the number he gave her was 867-5309 - RAPatton
Michelle, think of the look on his face though! Just yell psych and punch him in the shoulder once he has had enough. - RAPatton
Michelle, just remember if you say it in the right voice with the right attitude almost anything from a gal's mouth can be seductive. A man's mind will find double entendre and euphamisms absolutely anywhere. - RAPatton
Must track this. - Russellreno
Ok when you done with UPS - share your story here :)- http://peterdawson.typepad.com... - Peter Dawson
BTW, my listening post (link above) - has over 3 pages of comments. FF readers pls feel free to add your stories !!! :)- - Peter Dawson

Caroline: Now now... maybe she's buying *him* lunch. - Roger Benningfield
Since she is still AWOL I think we should assume the best. - RAPatton
No I didn't buy him lunch. I just got busy yesterday after lunch. No work today! - Michelle Miller
Too busy for us? What is next? A real life? Non virtual friends? Michelle, I am bit concerned. - RAPatton
