I know I'm a newb, and I should probably lurk moar. But this is stupid. Why do my roommates want me to buy 4 liters of water when I can take my unlimited supply and boil it? And yeah, it's on me because I have today off. (I live in Eastern MA btw, and we have a water emergency) :argh!:. On the bright side my humanities homework is basically listen to Black Sabbath's paranoid and write about the importance of Heavy Metal. Not so bad after all.
Just boil 4 liters of water and tell your roommates to suck it.
Boil water, strain through muslin cloth to make it look clean, ??, prophet.

Good point. On the brighter side, I can push for more beer. For hydration purposes naturally.

We don't have any cloth for that, but we do have a Britta.

CAUSE PEOPLE ARE DUMB
The majority of people I saw at the grocery store Saturday night panic-buying carts full of water probably barely ever even drink water. It's simply the fact that they cannot get it that makes them fell that they MUST HAVE IT.

The water LOOKS clean, it's just made a detour through the Charles River between the reservoir and our taps. It looks like perfectly normal water. Smells like normal water. Washes my hair and flushes my toilet like normal water.
BUT IT MIGHT BE DEADLY.
So boil it, then remove panties from twist, then have a beer. That's how I've been rolling.
Then yeah, your roomies need to suck it up. Waterworld is not for non-web-toed pussies.
Tell them to get their own fucking water, and then laugh at them for spending money on water.
Also, why is this such a big deal? This kind of thing happened regularly when I lived in the East Bay, and occasionally here; we just boiled our water. BFD.

You know how it is. Every time we have a fucking Nor'easter, it's out to Shaws to buy the non-perishibles. Nevermind the fact that Boston occasionally gets shitty inconvenient weather. Dude, throw your milk on the back porch, there's an endless refrigerator outside. I never drink water, unless it's really unbearable outside. The hype is stupid. I put my contacts in yesterday after washing my hands in tap water, and I don't have pink eye yet. I think it's ok. I'm going to make them reimburse me.

Eh, I owe one of my roommates. So I'll do this stupid chore, but expect money back. I agree though.
Urine is sterile.
Piss in a jug, and sell it to them for top dollar.

Then turn around and sell it as Ayrurvedic healing medicine when they get sick! :lulz:

That I don't have the cred for, unfortunately. I'm not a hippie and come from Irish stock. My cures consist of Guinness and poitin (when poitin can be had)

Just give them the same water you would drink, if they get ill, then you can boil them. And settle in for an afternoon of the only "Metal"
worth it's wieght in, . . . erm, Metal?
