Meatloaf. I'd be too tempted to have an erotic-asphyxiation-gone-wrong episode with Rush.
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
I would graciously step out of the way and let the two of them engage in a devil's three-way with Roseanne. I would then watch and administer MST3K like commentary. Win-win-win?
- Joe Pierce
I thought my comment was really clear, Mark. Rush would 'accidentally' have an issue with his happy noose. Duh!
- FFing Enigma (aka Tina)
Neither. But at least Meat Loaf is mostly human.
- Kevin Pedraja
Well neither one's a looker - so laidies, I suggest you pick Meatloaf. That way if the condom breaks, you won't be a party to spawning the Antichrist.
- Ciaoenrico
Meatloaf, without question. Rush would be all 'creepy sweaty' under his man tits. From his sedate lifestyle and affection for barbituates. Meatloaf would be sweaty too, but from rocking the fucking hell out of the show last night. And Meatloaf would just fuck me and move one. Rush might get all clingy and needy and shit. Nobody wants that.
- Morgan Haley
Enrico, I didn't realize this post was directed towards women, considering how many men have responded and given it consideration in the last half hour.
- Trish R
Off topic, but are bitch tits and moobs synonyms, or gradations of that particular phenomenon?
- Victor Ganata
Well, with Rush at least I wouldn't feel bad about being a rough top. :D
- Roger Benningfield
...well let me sleep on it, baby baby, let me sleep on it, baby, baby, let me sleep on it...and I'll give you an answer in the morning! Dittohead!

Do not take Cialis if you intend to have sex with Rush Limbaugh, as it may interact with the medications circulating in his system, causing an unsafe drop in both of your blood pressures.
- Victor Ganata
This is easy: Meatloaf. Especially after seeing him on House yesterday. I like him better with the short hair.
- ♥patricia♥
Uh uh, Rush is so hawt! He's just how I like 'em - pasty and middle-aged. :P
- April Buchheit
once I got past the fact that I was in hell, I'd probably just flip a coin... OK; Meatloaf.
- J. Abdul-Qahhar
I call forth my reserve insult for things like this... "I'd rather put my dick in a mangle"
- alphaxion
I'd pay BillO to stand in for me and give Rush the loofah + hummus treatment. Eww, ick, GOPr0n! One of you ladies will have to walk on them with stilettos!
- Richard ¿digame? Walker
I hope I can forget I ever read this, or I just may never make love again!
- jcunwired
To be fair, you should have posted a recent pic of Meatloaf. He has thinned down a lot and looks a lot better than that old pic.
- April Russo (app103)
Open question for the FriendFeed world: What band or musician would you say is the one you most enjoy and think most of that you don't own a single bit of their music? You like them when you hear them but you have no albums, tapes, CDs or paid downloads of them.
What an excellent question! I'm going to say Massive Attack, but I'll probably re-think that before the day's out.

Also in the running: X, Lucinda Williams, Waylon Jennings, Circle Jerks, Public Image Limited . It would clearly be Brian Eno but I bought "Here Come the Warm Jets" from Amazon MP3 store a month or two ago.
- Dave Slusher
Just posted a similar thought. Rehab is a common PR tool in entertainment, and sex addiction? Doesn't make him look bad in the eyes of many...
- Jeremy Hall
I considered it a marketing move, especially the announcement of it.
- Ruud van Wijngaarden
Flickr should give me this view natively. I love to see which of my photos have made it to Interesting or Explore. Cool little web app!
- Josh Bancroft
I've used this before to check out some of my stats. It's unfortunate that Simon Blint is staring back at us in your "Most viewed from the past 30 days" section, but I guess it's good to keep bringing notice to the story. What a tool. ;)
- Chris Luckhardt
Like the "ego surf" part at the bottom. :) Been a while since I checked it, kinda cool to see some of my photos being used by people.
- Jason R. Hunter
Happy Anniversary! Wow, four years of my podcast buddy Dave. The intro doesn't get old, I still love that tune. I bet you do too.

PJ, as many hundreds of times that I have heard it, when I sit down to do the show, I always listen through the guitar solo all the way when I sound check. It keeps me from getting transfixed listening to it and forgetting to start the show. Which I have done.
- Dave Slusher
I hate people that say "Failure is not an option." Best lesson I ever learned is that failure is ALWAYS an option. A lot of times failing at what you think is essential points you to something wildly more important that you weren't even thinking about.
I take your point about the Essential Lessons Learned from Failure, but here's a counter-example: My s.o. wore a NASA tee shirt w/ that slogan the morning he was admitted for open heart valve replacement surgery. Surgeon was good, all went well.
- Susan A. Kitchens
How about "Failure is not a desirable option. But it IS a distinct possibility"? I just made that up!
- Paul Reynolds
Susan, I'd accept that as a counter-example if no surgeon has ever failed but they do. How about the case of the late Will Eisner?
- Dave Slusher
Paul, let's tighten that to "Failure is never the option you want but sometimes the option you need."
- Dave Slusher
Dave, OK, that merited a trip to various locations thanks to Google. Looks as tho the initial quardruple bypass surgery was okay, sadly recovery was not. Don't want discussion of these particulars to take away from your point which is that even in surgery, failure happens. Okay. In other related aphorisms, I'll toss out one from Randy Pausch, "Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want." ("don't get what you want" == failure?)
- Susan A. Kitchens
Backblaze looks like it might be cool, except it's invite only and looks to be Windows only FTL. I used Carbonite.com when I was on Win32 - $50/yr unlimited and they've been out there for a couple of years now.
- Chris Weiss
Throw in some hard drives? These things are really cool....but still too expensive. Maybe it would be worth it if they included 500gb or something

Because it really sucks to have people make assumptions about you when they don't know you based solely on your pigment?
- Dave Slusher
I seriously think that it's the idea that there IS a stereotype. It's not that it's that offensive, but the mere thought that there are people out there who might think all caucasians are like this gets under some people's skin.
- Cyndy
Cyndy & Dave - I think you've got it. I also think it's a subtle form of real racism -- all this pointing out how white people are goofy is sort of like how Victorian men said that women were more noble and angelic than men.
- Mitch Wagner
I'm about to go meet a guy about a job. I plan on blasting Faith No More's 'Introduce Yourself' all the way. Wish me luck if you are so inclined. Indie Comic Book Noise will be posted later day.
To make use of this wifi would need to be freely available everywhere. Other than that this is a great idea.
- Joe Perrin
Would be nice but it would take a miracle. Pretty easy to spec out what you want and stick some low price on it. I want a $50 iPhone, $5k hybrid car, and 25 cent Whoppers but that's just not going to happen.
- Rodfather
So, Josh, where are those MIDs these days?
- Warner Crocker
Warner - I don't know. Ask Arrington. He seems to know. ;-)
- Josh Bancroft
I like the idea for the app, though!
- Richard Klein
A slightly larger iPhone would make an excellent reader and internet surfing device. The ultimate MID I think.
- Loren Heiny
Richard - those advantages the Kindle has could be it's selling points - the reason to buy a Kindle, rather than just read on your phone. Loren, I agree. The fabled "mini tablet Mac", or Return of Newton, or whatever you want to call it, is the stuff of dreams. :-)
- Josh Bancroft
@Jabancroft you should blog about your idea as it is a good one.
- Roger Kondrat
@Jason Calacanis - agreed, I'd love to see the press conference after he was waterboarded to see his composure. "It was no big deal, like a massage. I set an appointment for another one next week!"
- Damien Franco
Christopher Hitchens is one of my heroes. The guy is just spot on almost constantly.
- Akiva Moskovitz
That's an excellent piece. It is also a strong reminder of the importance of good writers putting themselves out there and relaying the experience to the rest of us.
- Thomas Brox Røst
He didn't last long at all. I doubt anyone the military was doing this to would be so kindly set upon the board and have the directions for their torture explained to them so nicely either.
- Yolanda
That's the same call I made. At some point near or far, I'll even turn off that.
- Dave Slusher
I got three Fail Whales just trying to see if my FF was being exported correctly. So, yeah. I'm happy with this decision.
- James (@willia4)
I've been thinking about that setup, too. I may not be far behind. I've made imaginary friends of all the Twitter people who aren't on FF but who I want to see updates from. I may slowly add the others, too.
- Gregory Pittman
How were you posting to Twitter from FF that made it say "about 4 hours ago from FriendFeed" ?
- Araceli
I did modify the script to say "FriendFeed" instead of "idt", though. Slightly unethical but I liked the way it looked better. ;)
- James (@willia4)
Ha ha! I did the same thing (changed the "via" tag) a couple weeks ago. I bet you tried something besides "FriendFeed" like I did and realized only a string registered with Twitter works.
- Paul Reynolds
lol. I knew there had to be a way to do that. I figured that's what you did. I'll have to figure out how to do it.
