Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

All the New York picket lines seem to be within twenty feet of food, I suppose bringing them goodies would be pointless.

Steph, can you make other things fizzy besides water?

It tells you not to, that any liquid other than water can (1) make a carbonated explosion, and/or (2) gunk up the machine and possibly break it.

But you can make your water fizzy and then afterwards add stuff to it (in the bottle, or in your cup when you drink it), like fruit, or other flavorings, etc. You can buy flavorings that are like Coke and other soda flavors.

I'm just a straight-up fizzy water addict, so while I might toss in a lemon wedge or something once in a while, I'll mostly just be guzzling the fizzy H2O.

The few times I've tried carbonated water, I got nauseous.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So carbonated water is just water that is... carbonated? Huh. I don't believe I've ever had it by itself.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What's the difference between seltzer and club soda?

Perrier is the brand I'm thinking of. Bleah.

I'm drinking seltzer right now. I drink it almost every day. I get annoyed when I'm not in NYC and I can't find any.

You can't shoot club soda down a clown's pants?

Did the name mislead you?

What's the difference between seltzer and club soda?

Nothing, really, although I *thought* that club soda was saltier than seltzer, because it has bicarbonate of soda in it.

And that's supposed to be a deterrent?
