This is the result of some massive and irritating research I did on this after some LJ kerfluffle or other:
The short answer is that you can only do that if you have a paid/permanent/etc account. The long answer is long, and from looking at your friends list, the caveats don't apply in this case anyway.
If you do have a paid account, at the bottom of the syndication page there's a form that says "Add feed by URL." You can add each of your LJ friends individually (not all at once) by putting the addresses for each of their individual RSS feeds into the box. An RSS feed address looks like this:
However, you can't see friends-locked posts this way.
If you've got access to Google Reader or Bloglines at work, a faster thing to do would be to set up an account at one of those, then use this tool on your friends list, then take the file that that gets you and use those sites' Import features to upload it.
Again, though, this won't show you friends-locked entries. It also won't show you entries by certain people who've done weird things to their RSS feeds for privacy reasons (several people on my list have), and won't preserve cut-tags. (I'm not sure whether IJ does that either, actually.)
