Ok, so... does anyone know the origin of "OMGWTFBBQ"?
Someone asked me, and I realized I have no clue.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Man, I need a life with more leisure. Or less responsibility. Or more sick time.
This. I fear I'm about to hit burnout stage.

Message in a Bottle
Americans spent more money last year on bottled water than on ipods or movie tickets: $15 Billion. A journey into the economics--and psychology--of an unlikely business boom. And what it says about our culture of indulgence.[link]

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
We've come to pay good money--two or three or four times the cost of gasoline--for a product we have always gotten, and can still get, for free, from taps in our homes.
I don't get the water that comes out of my tap for free. It's cheaper, sure, but not free.

In my case it says a lot about the water quality here. Recent alert - they've warned people in DC and, I think, Virginia that if their water smells nasty it's OK. The Potomac's low and there's a lot of algae, which causes the smell. They've put another step in the water purification process - it should start smelling OK in two or three days.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
The water at my grandparents is horrible. It's all soft and smells like sulfur. I can't even stand to have iced tea or lemonade or even ice cubes made from it.
We either buy one of those huge gallon water things or cases of bottled. That still doesn't solve the shower issue though.

Free water in my tap at home doesn't do me much good in the car, or on an airplane, or out for a run. It's not usually cold enough, and depending on where you are, the taste can be a crap shoot.

Oh, my god, there are people with a JACKHAMMER outside of my house. I'm going to go insane.

I drink tap water everywhere. Well, ok, I didn't in Africa. I probably don't buy a bottle of water if there is a tap and and bottle handy.
I don't like metally flavored water much, and I was surprised at how soda-y my parents' water is (it'd been a while since I'd had aquifer water) but I get used to it. Unless the taste is iron. I prefer Baltimore water to NC, which was heavily chlorinated.
My aunt and uncle have that sulfur issue with their well water. Dad and my uncle did something that fixed it briefly, but it came back.
