"Philadelphia Rule of Thumb: Never buy a soft pretzel in a plastic bag, they are sure to be stale, soggy or hard! A brown paper bag is BEST!! The true Philadelphia soft pretzel is usually bought from a street vendor or small "mom and pop" shop - seldom from a chain store. It is fresh, soft, and chewy comes in a sort of slab in which a number of pretzels are stuck together and is sprinkled with just the right amount of coarse salt."

a guy used to come outside my grade school every day, selling them. they were wonderful. fresh and chewy and soft. with a thick schmear of mustard, swiped on with a brush.

I have coffee. And egg nog. A delicious pairing for a November morning...you're welcome to a cuppa, but it's a much longer walk to here than to your kitchen...

Good morning, Starmama. Better get started, then. :)

I just want to rub noses with you Mr. Bunneh you always make my day.

Is it possible to love your FF friends? I have connected with people who I'm likely never to meet, people have given money, donated time, fought for the cause, helped me get into library school, crashed at my house and have had my back when others have not? I feel like I sincerely *love* y'all.
Is that something we could've imagined, that despite connecting people around the world with this internet thing, that deep connections would be established? That it wasn't just an experiment? The things you think about...
- Derrick
I mean, I never would have thought about library school. I never would've moved to New Orleans. I never would've gone to Portland and had dinner with Bren and Rochelle, Akiva, Alex, SAM, holly...I never would've bopped around LA with Monique at Roscoe's and Pea at Yogurtland. I just...I think it's fascinating.
- Derrick
Yes, love is possible here :) I would not have got to Chicago were it not for Sarah G, and would not have had so good a time were it not for Robin, Kirsten, Barry, Abigail, and Zee :)
- Pete
It makes me wonder if other are connecting, getting close to people, formulating relationships via other networks, and in other places (and if they seem to be as strongly connected as we are).
- Derrick
Oddly enough, Chris, yes. I'm not crazy about some of the stuff you've pulled over the years, but you're part of the fam, for better or worse.
- Auntie Buttinsky Botts
MaryB, I'm pretty crazy about most of the stuff I've pulled over the years. :)
- Cristo
Well, that's the difference between a youngish rake and a Midwestern old bat. I'm not saying I wouldn't check your story with three sources before lending you money.
- Auntie Buttinsky Botts
Anyway, I was just thinking about that. :)
- Derrick
MaryB, I'm not pretending to be a Midwestern old bat on this account... today.
- Cristo
Derrick, there are at least 4 other networks/boards I've been on that have formed friendships as close as what's on FF. It's definitely possible. I think the actual architecture at FF here just adds to the whole thing, though.
- Spidra Webster
And I've formed close friendships with Spidra on all of those boards and networks. As different people, of course.
- Cristo
Derrick, there are some people on FF I feel genuine, actual, platonic love for, though I will never meet them. You're one of those people. In fact, you were probably one of the first. Not bad for a random assortment of pixels on my screen. :-)
- Slippy
Funny, Cristo! Were you "Jesus Chrysler" on SFNet?
- Spidra Webster
D - it happens. This is the second community I've found like this. I love you, too.
- Lix
I feel it's definitely possible to love people you've spent time with and watched their lives here on FF. <3
- Zulema ⋅ spicy cocoa tart
actaully I feel platonic lov to every1 that I interact with on FF.. be it a good convo or a heated one..I still belive(I am naive at times), that ALL people are good and need to be loved !
- Peter Dawson
I don't know what I'd call it but I definitely feel a strong connection to the people here and the community in general. You guys were there for me when I lost my job. You were there for me when my wife nearly died. You were there for me when she lost her job and we didn't know how we were going to make ends meet. There is a core of people here that I truly consider friends whether we ever meet in real life or not. I think that's love.
- DB - Just DB
It's totally possible to love your FF friends :)
- Soup in a TARDIS
This is real life. This is not a drill. (This is also not a pipe, but that's beside the point right now.) Love you, D.
- Your Neighbor Steve
D, I agree. There's a lot of authenticity on FF and a willingness to help that makes me proud to be here. I've now met 3 FF'ers in person and look forward to meeting more, including you.
- Corinne L
{{hugs}} we never would have met and you wouldn't have given me one of my favorite nicknames. :) Yeah, you can definitely love people you've not physically shared space with. I know this for a fact.
- peamageddon
Internet friends are great. My closest friends now are people I first met on the Forever Knight mailing list in 1993 or '94.
- Betsy
<3 I've been thinking about this as well. I have friends here. I wish we could actually spend time offline together, but, this is good. So much better than not having you all at all.
- Yolanda
I love you D. And so many others here. I've connected in real ways with people thru blogging, a parenting website, & now friendfeed. Y'know, real recognize real, and I'd like to think the reason we're all having the same kind of positive experience is cos ALL YOU PEOPLE ARE GOOD FOLX. Love shines thru even online <3 <3 <3 <3

Haven't read all the comments, but I dare say I agree with most of you, FF is a strange place, it has redefined the terms/boundaries of friendship, more so than any other social site. It's a place where we all look out for each other and have each others backs, yes there are the provocateurs/trolls on here, but that's life they are everywhere. I♥U all too! New FF plan is to convince a...
more...
- Halil
I held off commenting here until I could get my thoughts together coherently. My two cents: Derrick, it's entirely appropriate that *you* posted this. The first time you and I met, it was if we had known each other for years. In truth, we had. You are one of my best friends, dude. You are among a group of people I'd do anything for. I have my moments of social ineptitude, but I love meeting you people IRL. Not only is it possible to love FF friends, it's easy to love some of them.

Also, my family has joined me at 2 different meet-ups, and their reactions have been the same both times. They understand why we're friends. We still talk about the Rudy's BBQ meetup in Arlington, even though it was months ago. The meetup at Sarah's in Austin seems like last weekend. That's real.
- ha3rvey (Hugs 50% off!)
I want to go to a meetup and meet you guys. I can't wait for you to meet the wife either. I think she's gradually warmed up to me spending so much (virtual) time on here over the years. You guys liking her yummny kreations hasn't hurt. When we talk I mention you by name (or handle) and don't even have to say from FriendFeed anymore. It's just assumed. Happens all the time now.
- DB - Just DB
Nine and I talk about you guys as though we know you. You are our mutual friends.
- m9m, Crone of FriendFeed
Scott and I just said last night that we wish all of y'all could be at our wedding.
- Mary Carmen
MC, you know we'll be there in spirit. Remember Alex and Cassie's wedding? We got blow by blow descriptions ... or was it livestreamed. Felt like we were there. Joey's too.
- Laura Norvig
My best friends today are mostly people I've met online. That includes FF, Twitter, Second Life, and mostly Seesmic. I have moved so many times, and friendships dwindled along the way. Social networks changed that for me, and I'll always be grateful.

Some of my very favorite people in the world are here on FF. My love is real.
- Fikisha
I don't have to add to this. I just need to love you all back. Both the folks I've met and have not met.
- Cristal Blue Persuasion
We really have to figure out a way to stream it. I am also counting on the folks who are able to be there will share their pics with everyone.
- Mary Carmen
I love D. I'd let him seduce me any day. I love all of ya'll. You make me who I am, encourage me, keep me going. I may not be around a lot, but I love you just the same. For realizes.

thanks, this explains the big light in the sky this night (too early and too yellow for sirius)

This is clearly not my cat. If this was my cat he's have one arm shoved down into the printer trying to tear up all the internal whirling bits with his bare claws.
- Soup in a TARDIS
Too Funny! Reminds me of the San Mateo Cat Shelter where one of the cats loves to sleep on top of the laster printer where the paper comes out...
- Greg Lato
1600+ to beat the FFundercats live chat thread. I think with this real time now on all threads we're going to see some truly epic comment numbers.
- Simon Wicks
Ivan, no the picture speaks for itself. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Petr, I have no idea what you mean, but thank you. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
@Kol .. :] that, partially, might have been the purpose.... I don't know it exactly either. :] .. was I reflecting on a cat under the fax, and that it is hard to fax that way ... /?:] ... "underfaxing at its worst" ..
- pb:
there ya have me ! :] .... see, to be honest with you, i saw this pic couple days ago, but i let it go, without posting it ..... what does that make me? :]
- pb:
even a flat cat... faxes just can't handle the hair. You'd have to shave the cat first, else the hair will burn and stick to the drum... a mess! (I am extrapolating from transparencies, mind, i don't have access to a cat to test)
- Iphigenie
Hehe, Joelle. This is now tied for the 'likes' top stop. One more then, hehe. :-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Hehe, Greg. Blimey! Erm, is that not far from 500 likes now? ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Bloody marvelous, Kol. Wish I could like it again... too cute (and help u to 500 likes).
- Roberto Bonini
I couldn't believe it when I logged on from the morning over posting it and saw it was at something 200 likes! You all have a strange fetish with cats and fax machines, hehe. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
Am I the only one who saw this and their first thought was - My goodness did someone break that cats neck? It still freaks me out a little
- SteVe C
Steve, it does look a little out of place, but cats are pretty bendy. ;-)
- Kol Tregaskes
They fax much better if you flatten them first. What?
- The original Kevin
So we can put this post to rest now. :-) 505 likes final count, wow! :-D Good night all!
- Kol Tregaskes
did 3 people really un-like this? now at 506. wtf (edit: uh, oh, yeah, me and 2 + 506 others makes 509. dammit, jim, i'm an artist, not a mathematician)
- ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ
One of the best funny cat pictures I've seen! :-)
- John Collis
Kristian, it appears to be. Hehe, John.

It's really only social convention which regards it as inappropriate, same with Xeroxing it, like one does with their b__tocks. Wait are we still talking about cats cats here or...
- sofarsoShaw BAZINGA!
OMGosh 700+ likes now!! LOL. Thank you all 702 of you. :-)
