I own a couple bars in South Dakota. I also run a cool fan blog at http://theriverfans.com
I am so happy to have found "Under Seige" with Steven Seagal. I just bartended my ass off on a busy night; this makes the perfect night cap. Thanks, Mr Seagal. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
Nice jacket - Kevin J Hatton
I was going to say, that *is* a nice jacket. - Spidra Webster
Yeah Seagal loves his kimonos. He thinks people won't know he's fat. - Ben Hanten
Every time I see a pic of Seagal (which isn't often), I think of this Ovitz parody in which my brother played Seagal. http://www.youtube.com/watch... - Spidra Webster
Who can I bribe to get on Google Wave now? We're talking cash money.
Boxed water is better for the earth - http://brendaurie.tumblr.com/post...
Doubtless it is -- but even better would be tap water in a reusable travel mug... In other news, when I drink from a box, all I taste is cardboard. - Stephen Mack
@Lindsey is Fierce!: that's what i've been doing for many years now. - Big Joe Silenced
I met my mad scientist neighbor today - http://hanten.posterous.com/i-met-m...

i'm scared, very very scared, :o - chaz2b
I like him. - Steve C, Team Marina
Where is Bill Nye right now? We have problems that a Science Guy can tackle. - http://hanten.tumblr.com/post...
Last time I saw him was at Epcot with Ellen Degenerous - RAPatton
Last time I saw him was on "Living with Ed". - Spidra Webster
That's a crazy movie. Or is it a news headline? - http://hanten.tumblr.com/post...
Don't you love it when movie titles inadvertently form a message. - Dennis Jernberg
I with Pea. Some smartass employee probably put up the sign, then took the photo for Digg. - Ben Hanten
Pretty good graphic; all products that I love/hate. Well I guess I mostly love Life cereal, but it's no Lucky Charms. - Ben Hanten
Oh I love this. My recent partner in my photo class said this on EVERY shoot we had in class. HAHA! - Derrick
The FriendFeed clique... So I'm very close to being in the top 500 for most active on FriendFeed. Does that mean I'll automatically be in the clique? Is there a membership application? Initiation?
Clearly the one "like" in 46 minutes means that I am still not in the clique and that I have a long road ahead. Unless you "no" how to do it better. :) - Ben Hanten
I would never be a part of a clique that would have someone like me as a member. - Akiva
My apologies if this has already been posted. - http://brendaurie.tumblr.com/post...
I'm sorry, I thought this place was crazy about cats... - Ben Hanten
What is your Tumblr address? Posterous is fine, but for my money Tumblr is way more social. So if you're on, please post your address here:
http://amy1961.tumblr.com/ - I've only made a few posts, but in retrospect, not bad, and thanks for the reminder, should use it again. - Amy℠
This one is dedicated to all of the anti health care reform nuts out there. - http://hanten.tumblr.com/post...
I had to reblog that one. - Anika
PERFECT. Sharing NOW!!! Did anyone even pay attention to you/your sign?? LOVE IT!! - mocha59
This was a good movie, no? - http://tic-tac-toe.tumblr.com/post...
Yes, yes indeed. - Matt G
A classic! So many great lines. Well written, great acting and superb directing. - Fossil Huntress
The only sushi I can get in my town is at the Mongolian / Chinese buffet. Boo. - Ben Hanten
Wallpaper that changes color with the temperature. - http://lickystickypickyme.tumblr.com/post...
woot! - Derrick
is it "ouchless"? - Big Joe Silenced
This is ridiculous, but... maybe worth sharing. Justine, the Mozy Girl, has re-done the Black Eyed Peas. Do you know people that change their profile pic all the time? http://www.youtube.com/watch...
Has anybody messed with autotune software before? - Ben Hanten
Alcohol makes you lean, not fat - http://drinkupdate.com/archive...
“Now here’s a little known fact: Alcohol does not make you FAT – it makes you LEAN …Against tables, chairs, floors, walls and ugly people” - Ben Hanten
GLUB GLUB - Akiva
Is that what this protuberance in front of me at my waist is? Lean? Awesome! - Adam Turetzky
Hey Chrome users, how many times per day does your tab accidentally peal off into its own window? For me it's an average of 11. 11 times per day.
Way too often. Every time Chrome does that to me, I'm more tempted to shut it down and use Safari instead. In fact, I'm using Safari right now so I won't have to deal with it. Same WebKit, more stable browser. - Dennis Jernberg
Moving mouse downward does it. I don't have trouble.... - mjc
Can we talk more about Posterous? Do you use it? Do they have an easy to way to check if your friends are already users? Would you agree that if it went real time and switched the "favorite" to "like" we would be pretty damn close? - http://posterous.com/
Also, who is on it? Saw some of the big names, but how about you? - Ben Hanten
I'm sort of interested in Tumblr. Seems like the community is much stronger there than on Posterous. - Ben Hanten
One of my best friends lives on a Hutterite colony. He ran away at 18, built a good construction business, chased a bunch of women, and had a good life. But he went back. Had to give up his truck, house, tools, etc and be grounded for about a year. He just stopped in to say hello. His wife has just given birth to their first baby. Hmmmmm.....
interesting, I think that I would do the same, I mean everyone in the end just wants stability in their life - Cynthia Yildirim
Jeremy came back today. He brought sweet corn and choke cherry wine in exchange for a bottle of Windsor. Now I know he really has been assimilated. - Ben Hanten
I don't have it all planned yet, but before I go, I want a shit-ton of likes on a post. I'll post a picture of Cindy Crawford, another of an artsy piece of food, argue about spiced rum, namedrop Scoble, promote a FF meetup, Photoshop Johnny's beard, find a lot of green photos on Flickr, and high five the FFundercats. The best post ever. Tribute.
And screw Mike Arrington! - Ben Hanten
we can't wait - Aaman (Clone of FF)
One thing I'm sure of, Scoble caused this. I'm just not sure which one or how.
It was my brother!!! - Scoble, Alex Scoble
I guess if I had to choose one to blame it would be Alex. - Ben Hanten
A sign you have a crazy neighbor: he takes a lawnmower deck, some pipe, chains and welding supplies to make a hedge trimmer you can pull behind your riding lawn mower. Yes, that's right. My next door neighbor has made a trailer with a real gas lawn mower deck attached on the side so that he can trim his bushes in the most lazy way possible.
I will try to catch a photo of him actually using this ASAP. - Ben Hanten
i love it, thanks for sharing (but i'm still scared, :o) - chaz2b
Is there a way to see the most popular posts ever? What's the record for the most likes and comments on a post?
FF and FFholic seem to only go back a month. I guess the problem with doing more than that would be that a post could be in your main feed over and over again for years, but... It would be interesting to know what has been most popular here. - Ben Hanten
Wow. Glenlivet 18-year. I just, well... You would be surprised how much 6 years adds to a Scotch. Buy a bottle.
I posted this Friday night -- Twitter is so far behind. - Ben Hanten
I watched a bad movie today. It's called "The Ruins." Seen it? - http://www.imdb.com/title...
Dreadful. Utterly dreadful. - Absentee
nope, but I watched Transformers and I don't think anyone could've wasted more money than its producers. - Rohit
Remember that historic day when Guy Kawasaki started using FriendFeed for the first time? Remember the thread where Scoble and everyone was trying to walk him through it? Apparently that's all over? Guy still has no likes and just has a handful of comments, probably automatically posted. So I guess this place is still safe from the marketers??
Yeah, I noticed 2-3 days after that he had only really commented in 3-4 threads and didn't do anything after that. - OCoG of FF, Jimminy
Oh yeah: One of those 78 people I immediately subscribed to when I set up my FriendFeed account was, of course, Guy Kawasaki. - Dennis Jernberg
