"I don’t make enchiladas very often because even though they’re not hard to make, they are fairly time-consuming to assemble. One thing this recipe definitely taught me is that heating the tortillas in the oven, especially since it’s already heating to bake the enchiladas, is much easier than frying or heating each individual tortilla over a burner."

So it's since Tuesday huh? The ultimate thread. How will the thread die then? We must have a limit for that, let's say 24h without one comment.
- ElijahBailey-Zu of FF <0,
As a side note, I do have to applaud the endurance and pettiness of those of us on FriendFeed. No one on Facebook gave this status update a second look!
- Mike Nayyar
We pride ourselves in our pettiness and obsessiveness. Um, wait.
- LogEx
Remember. It's not whole Scoble likes. It's who likes Scoble.
- Akiva Moskovitz
According to FriendFeed, that's everyone. And some Twitter marketers and SEO experts.
- Mike Nayyar
Mike will get in the last word. Eventually. Everyone else is an idiot for playing his little game. Me included. :-)
- Robert Scoble
I'm not actually playing. Or, if I am, I'm playing to lose.
- Akiva Moskovitz
HAHA! You see that? Robert Scoble acknowledges I will eventually win! HAHA! FINALLY! For once in my life, I win! :) :) :) :) Unless Logical shows up...

Only mostly dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, well, with all dead there's usually only one thing you can do.

We're testing the limit on the number of comments.
- DGentry
Nah, the FFundercats live chat pushed that one way over the top. We are, however, testing the limits oh how sick people are getting of setting my face.
- Mike Nayyar
This thread has a lot of comments, that must mean Mike is an expert of some kind...or maybe an A-Lister. Must stalk^H^H^H^H^Hinvestigate him...
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
Wow losts of comments...shame this is the last comment though.
- Nicholas James
Olympus too? Good thing Logical doesn't know any Japanese mythological figures.
- Mike Nayyar
All right, if you're going to play that way, Raijin AND Ajisukitakahikone are BOTH mad at you. And Raijin was especially unhappy because you interrupted his NOMmage of children's bellybuttons.
- LogEx
Dude, my best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Raijin put down the platter.
- LogEx
We'd be content, of course, if you (Mike) issued a public retraction of the assertion in your post, followed by allowing someone else to post the last comment in the thread ;-)
- LogEx
LE: Someone is going to go "last" again and it will continue ;)
- Nicholas James
Logical made it into a competition and now alot of people want to hold the title as the last comment on this thread. It will eventually stop when people give up and/or another one is made ;)
- Nicholas James
Gordon: No-one is going to give up. Well about 85% of the people on here already have...its just time to wait for the remaining people to give up and let me post "LAST"
- Nicholas James
Someone will eventually win this. However, since everyone else will have clicked "Hide" by then, they won't be able to tell anyone about it.
- Glen Mistletoe
You know at some point, expanding this comment will really put a strain on mortal browsers. It already has a 3 second pause to expand it.
- Mark Philpot
I wonder if at some point we will hit a soft limit and FF won't let it keep going. That or they look at this as a great high-bounds test case for the system.

I'm scared to expand the comment thread :)

i'm afraid to click on the link to see all comments. so i'm just typing this so another guy (or gal) can read it and comment to make this comment disappear.
- Alfredo
If anyone gets these emails in their gmail and got sick and tired of them like me, just press 'm' to mute the conversation (if you have keyboard shortcuts enabled) (haha i got the last word)
- Daniel Morgan
No you just don't know I posted this.
- John D Reasor
cant the person that started this block the comments now? and thereby win.
- Morgan Haley
If you can get buddy buddy with mike and figure out his schedule, you can prevent him from stopping the comments because you'll always be able to get the last word in. We must prevail for great justice!
- Jon, the Beartato of FF
That would be cheating, and he knows it :)
- LogEx
That's how the FriendFeed Mob rolls. :-D
- Steven Perez
from IM
you didn't disable the comments yet? you could comment and then do it and then you really would get the last word. but then again, that's cheating. and cheaters never prosper.

You're not supposed to make sense of it. It exits only as an opaque, monolithic data structure that is constantly being updated and evolving. ;)

Attempting to parse it in a manner that is not approved by FriendFeed, Inc may result in disruption of the space-time continuum, and a series of Bad Things(R) occurring.

I'll never take a better pic in my life - I'd start a "caption this" thread but I know you all well enough to be scared to death of what you would have my poor daughter saying ; p

I actually feel kind of manipulative and guilty - I got the pic because right before I took it i said "Hey, Kaidan, guess what - Glenn Beck's show was canceled!" she started crying when I told her I was just kidding

Seesmic, Friendfeed and Twitter next to each other in a test version of Twhirl. Adding tons of Friendfeed experience improvements in there, Marco rocks.

I love the 3rd, 6th and photo of Shayera the best. The last pic of the Erin and Aaron schmoopifying is GREAT!
- Admiral Anika
Thanks Pea, that's Kodak BW400CN film, Olympus OM-1 SLR and Zuiko 50mm/1.8 lens. Old school. A lot of photos turned out blurry due to my craptastic focusing skills, but enough turned out ok. Always love it when low light comes through clear without a flash.
- Adrian
Doh! I finally figured out how to see the rest of the pictures! Adrian, they're really great!
- Shayera Tangri
@Anika, I keep staring at that 3rd photo too, for the same reason! Also, I love the photo of you swimming!
- vicster
Isn't the lighting on that great? It reminds me of those old Vanity Fair photos.
- Admiral Anika
You guys are talking about the pool photo, right? I only took 4 photos at the pool, by the way, there is another good one but the last one is in blurrovision. Personally, I like the 4th one because it's almost a miracle. It was low-light, no tripod, no flash, and 10 people standing around in animated conversation came out clear.
- Adrian
Yeah, the 3rd photo. The lighting is really good.
- Admiral Anika
These pancakes look delicious, they remind me of chocolate in pita bread :-)

Mine had J Mayo, avocado and sauce made of Worcestershire, sesame oil and Unagi sauce on it. Yum. Never tried it with avocado... it works great.
- Adrian
Mine was just cabbage & shrimp in the egg batter. I put seaweed and a little soy sauce on top.
- Admiral Anika
Hrm... It looks like Sushiyama has it. It's about 2 miles from our old apartment. I may have to head up there for dinner tonight.
- ha3rvey (needs soup)
Ilia is about to make hers. Batter and shrimp only, no vegetables for her. Maybe shredded carrots she says.
- Adrian
Actually, I might go home and make this for lunch. Today.
- ha3rvey (needs soup)
Go for it Ha3rvey! It's no more complicated to make than an omelet. Pretty much anything goes as long as you have cabbage, egg and flour. Lots of cabbage. A giant MOUND of cabbage. :)
- Adrian
I don't think I have any cabbage at home. Hadn't planned to buy groceries until tonight. This could easily change. :)
- ha3rvey (needs soup)
I didn't think of taking pics either :( I'm hoping I'll be able to go to SXSW again next year so hopefully there will be another chance (and can meet more people)!

It is slow until, for just a few minutes, it's not. Then it's over. The visuals were pretty neat, though, and I enjoyed the music. Definitely wasn't worth $22.99 for a two-disc set.

OK, pop quiz: you've just found out that the dreamy mope in your class is a vampire. Do you (a) stock up on silver and garlic and wait to ambush him and his clan or (b) go off into the woods to interrogate him all alone? If you chose (b), then this movie is for you!

Seriously, this movie hurt my brain. The dialogue must have been written by the same 7th-grade lunch table thespians that George Lucas used to write the "romantic" scenes in ATTACK OF THE CLONES. I wasn't expecting anything Whedonesque, but geez, watching this movie was like watching a CW teen drama on Ritalin.

Watching the threads from Robert Scoble and also Aaron Brazell about mob mentality makes me shake my head. Not sure where Mike Arrington and Aaron were during the Clinton impeachment, but real time mobs were all over the CNN community.

- Steven Perez
from IM
And no, vampires are not sexy. Just remember this: you're fantasizing about screwing necrotic flesh.
- Steven Perez
from IM
Ah, but even this silent era vamp had his charms--the girl swoons, etc. Coppola's version owes much to Nosferatu.
- Kathy Fitch
Yeah, like all those plague rats he brought with him. HAWT.
- Steven Perez
from IM
Note that Coppola's version is pretty darned ugly at certain points as well--including when he gets his lover's redemptive kiss at the end. Hotness transcends looks.
- Kathy Fitch
I guess. I could never make that mental leap. Depending on which school of thought you subscribe to, vampire hawtness, in my brain, is predicated on either (a) screwing someone with a horrible disease or (b) screwing a reanimated dead person. Either way, I say ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
- Steven Perez
Since we're discussing fictional characters here- Eric from True Blood? Hot vamp. Edward from Twilight? Hot vamp. I'd go for Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt...but..well... so we've got these 'gentleman' vamps who seduce in order to kill. Sure you have your Nosforatu's and your ....oh what hte hell was the one with the chick in the tight suit....
- Erin @queenofspain
Ah, but the allure of vampires is all about the mental leap--about symbolism, power, glamour, etc. Forbidden love, forbidden exchange of bodily fluids, love that conquers death . . .Well, the whole thing is poetry, really.
- Kathy Fitch
Blade is another that owes something to Nosferatu--German Expressionism all the way. Plus, the epic battles between good and evil--and the difficulty, sometimes, of determining exactly what counts as one or the other--is all part of the great mythology and symbolism of the thing, as well. Sex and violence, life and death are always intertwined in horror.

What this guy did with live organ accompaniment was AMAZING. Much better than whatever music that is on the audio track IMO. He referenced the Poulenc Organ concerto ... a great piece. He tours all the time... Check him out if you like silent films + live music:
