...and I don't normally buy bottled water anyway, since I have delicious well water, but this is an, hmmm, interesting idea?

I had well water for years, then the government decided that I should be paying for water weather I wanted it or not. I couldn't even drink the stuff out of the tap after that. I was a Culligan customer for a couple years until I decided to try out one of those on tap filters. I was actually quite surprised at how much of an improvement it makes. There is no bad taste at all now. The filter cartridges only cost about eighteen dollars and last for about three months. I was paying more than that for one month of the bottled stuff. Basically what I'm getting at is lolbottledwater.

Long story REALLY short... Bottled/casked water is hideously energy inefficient. But a lot of piped water has contaminants that I REALLY wouldn't want to drink, and I'm not talking about little bacteria. So filtering at home is fine, if you have a VERY good filter, well maintained/changed. But when out and about, I'd prefer to drink the right type of bottled/casked filtered water in preference to most soft/soda/pop/coke trash.

Boxed Water is a ridiculous solution to an even more ridiculous problem—that we'd rather buy packaged water than drink it for nearly free out of the tap.


Municipal tap water is typically held to higher quality standards than bottled water, and filters work wonderfully for purity.

When I sold the farm, I had to have a routine inspection performed. What they found was disturbing, disgusting and probably fairly amusing if you weren't in my shoes.

Apparently my drainage from the kennel building was not sufficient. Over time, the accumulated dog urine and ***** contaminated the ground, and eventually, my well. I found out that I'd been drinking e coli dog-**** water. It really explained a lot, such as my persistent diarrhea and the way my breath always smelled like dog turds, even when I hadn't been drinking the night prior.

I guess what I'm saying is, so long as there isn't dog **** in it, I'd totally give boxed water a shot.

We have a water cooler at home with the 3 gallon bottles. We go through about 9 gallons every two weeks. I won't use tap water for anything that I ingest.

The community tap at my old apartment was all right (we had a Brita faucet adapter) but the well water here at my mom's is pretty nasty. Especially since the water softener tank broke and she got some sort of electrical-wire-doohickey to electromagnetically treat the water, or somesuch.

We just use bottled and Brita-pitchered water.

Also, it's far, far, far safer to fly than to drive.

People are stupid control freaks. They feel more in control with bottled water. That's all. This will never fly because they can't see the water, hence less control. Whoever came up with this marketing concept doesn't understand the US consumer *at all*.

Dans ce rap biz
On est arrivé les mains dans les poches
A l'époque c'était envoie l'beat
On fait l'truc à l'arrache
Et laisse parler la rage
Moi et mes potes
On veut graver ça dans la roche
On a la dalle et rien dans le bide
De plus le blaze a tourné
Et tu connais la suite
Tout ça est passé bien vite
Ou c'est qu'j'en suis
Dans la vraie vie
Oui c'est de ça dont j'parle
Ce s'rait mentir si j'dirais que c'est pareil
Déjà j'suis moins sur la paille
Et j'suis sorti d'mon trou
Voir du pays et vivre
Des moments forts avec mon crew
Kiffer entre nous
Et rendre fiers les nôtres
Qui nous ont connus et soutenus
Avant tous les autres
C'est pour les mecs de chez nous
Les équipes de nuit qui baroudent
Ou qui restent postichés au Q.G. entres couilles
Là où j'suis dans mon élément
Là où j'ai tellement passé d'temps
A kiffer rien faire j'suis presque un meuble
Qu'on peut pas deplacer
Comme une encre impossible à effacer
Comme un tag à l'acide ou comme mon blaze
Gravé à la bougie sur les vitres du R.E.R.
S.N.I.P.E.R. avec un putain d'lettrage


Eh approche
Ecoute, hoche...
La tête si t'accroches
Pour nos familles et nos proches
C'est gravé dans la roche
Sorti de nulle part
C'était écrit c'est pas un hasard
Un jour notre place s'ra
gravée dans la roche
On lâche pas on s'accroche
Du but on s'rapproche
Sous l'risque ou sous l'porche
C'est gravé dans la roche
Mais on reste les mêmes
On retranscrit la vie qu'on mène
Sur disque ou sur scène
C'est gravé dans la roche

AKETO, TUNISIANO, BLACK RENEGA
Après tout ce qui s'est passé j'ai pas changé
J'suis toujours le même enfoiré
J'retourne pas ma ste-ve
Non j'garde mes principes et mes points d'attache
J'kiffe pas la célébrité j'rammasse juste mon cash
Faut mes points de repères sinon j'suis du-per
La mille-fa la go les compères c'est pepère
Rien à foutre de leur hip-hop jet set
J'profite de la chance que j'ai
J'joue pas l'cain-ri j'me prends pas la tête
J'suis pas une vedette et j'veux pas en être une
J'suis pas mieux qu'un autre j'ai pas marché sur la lune
Gravé dans l'bitum gravé dans la roche
Juste ma plume et mes proches
J'me rappelle de nos débuts
9 7 commencement de l'histoire
Proposition d'l'album on voulait même pas y croire
30/01/2001 la machine s'met en route
2003 toujours le kiff le succès rien à foutre
Maint'nant qu'on est al
On compte bien y rester
Gravé sur la dalle aimé ou détesté
L'aventure continue et continuera
Inch'allah qui vivra verra



J'ai presque arrété l'chanvre
Fini d'raper dans ma chambre
Tu sais tout a changé depuis le 11 septembre
Mais pour le reste c'est idem
Du kiff-kiff au final
Ta r'connu la voix qu't'aime
La même signature vocale
Chacal à l'arrache
Du hip hop sans complexe
Tellement gravé dans la roche
Qu'j'allume mes clopes au silex
Riche pas encore toujours le même problème de flouz
Cette maladie incurable qui soigne par pacte de 12
Eh ma belle! Y a pire moi j'me tue à la tâche
Respire la vie est belle ça s'ecrit pas V.I.H.
Toujours le même salaud dégueulasse efficace rapace
Qui joue l'beau alias Tunisiano
Mon premier cassage de dos
Comme mes premières thunes
Mon premier pas au studio
Comme le premier pas sur la Lune
Les mêmes raklis les mêmes cliniques pressenties
Les mêmes histoires de tarma J.lo ou R.kelly
De la mort d'Bigui au pont d' l'Alma et Lady D.
Ici tu hoches la tête l'album te met en transe
Sniper gravé dans la roche on revient choquer la France

I've never listened to a Sniper song. Now I remember why. I do force people I work with to listen to MC Solar though.

The only thing I like about bottled water is the bottle I can reuse after...

If I'm at work, and really thirsty, I'll buy a bottle of water from the soda machine. Then I'll drink it. Then I'll refill it from the water fountains and use it constantly the whole week.

I think I have a bottle that's about 2 months old still being used that is sitting on my desk in my office.

So carton of water... would not work for me.
