Ooh, a table to input stuff into would be excellent!
I'm very good at filling in blanks :-)
(eta: I'll just start filling in info from low price and work my way higher, and stop when it seems too high for comfort)

F2F 2: Is there anybody here that hasn't slept together?
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

Hey folks - I'm here, but not saying much because well, I have no input on Nilly-age. However, I'm with Noise on the fact that we should be talking about F2F 2005.

Yeah, I know. Inappropriate, and related to nothing, but it was my last chance. Had to get it in there.
I'm trying to think when the last time someone at the table ordered bottled water that didn't come with added (purposely added) bubbles.
Yamashiro offers non-sparkling bottled water. I'm sure other places do too, but it's been my experience that it's pretty rare.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, I've seen it on lots of menus. Just not seen it ordered by anyone at my table.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
IME, most places have both sparkling and still, but very few people will opt for the still, if they're paying for water at all.
(Except in Europe, where bottled water is the default, and you have to specifically ask for tap water if you want your water to be free.)
[eta that I don't know what the default water ordering behavior of Europeans is, just that the restaurants in Paris and Barcelona will bring you bottled water unless you tell them not to.]

I can set it up so that you can fill it randomly, and I can sort it by price.
I'll have a looksee at the RFP and use those as the fields.

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

In Peru we were told to get sparkling because some places would re-fill still bottles with tap.

Frankly, I'd say not to waste your time on the $150 plus ones.
I lurve my Brita. If I thought I could spare the fridge space, I'd upgrade to one of the big square ones.
I have one of the big tank ones with a spigot on the front. It takes up a lot of room but it's so incredibly worth it.

Not just Peru. It happened to me in Spain. I actually saw the guy take an empty bottle and start to fill it from the tap. I hate sparkling water and refuse to order it, so after that I just drank the tap water. I never had any problems with it, I just had that held over prejudice that any country other than America was going to do nasty things to my intestines if I drank their water. Come to find out, it's not that the water is bad, just that each area has different microorganisms than what you stomach is used to. Once you get used to them, the tummy problems disappear. Coming back from Spain one time (to Virginia) I had quite a problem adapting to the water. My first week back I spent a lot of my break time in the bathroom. But then my system acknowledged the intruders, decided they weren't harmful and quit giving me grief.
