Stuff White People Like
« on: February 28, 2008, 06:49:55 PM »
I read cassandrasdaddy use the term "Mighty white of you" in a sarcastic manner and it stuck in my head unitl...I found this site:
http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com/

Here is a recent post:


#76 Bottles of Water

Water seems like a fairly simple concept. You turn on the tap, put glass underneath, and drink. Sadly, it is not this simple for white people.

On the whole, they are unable to put a glass under a tap and just drink. In fact, this is such a strange concept that the city of New York had to launch a rather large PR campaign to show white people that it was possible to actually drink the water that comes out of the tap!

Up until this point, white people were consuming most of their water in the form of expensive bottles like Fiji, Aquafina and Dasanai. To this day, many white people continue to get their water in this fashion, and it is important to be aware about how your choice of water can say a lot about who you are.

Logically, you would assume that drinking the most expensive premium bottled water (Fiji and Voss) would be enough to show the world that you are too good for tap water. And a few years ago, you would have been right. But lately, advanced white people have been getting very upset about all of the waste that comes with drinking 15-20 bottles per week.

The leading edge of white people have started to use sturdier, refillable bottles. But do not assume this is from the tap. Most white people need to run their water through some sort of filter (Brita or PUR) before they put it into their bottle. This allows them to feel good about using a refillable bottle, but it also makes it more complicated, which they also like.

Previously, the gold standard was the Nalgene bottle, however recent studies have shown the plastic can leak toxins into the water. Currently, white people on the cutting edge are really into metal bottles of water with a twist cap. It is recommended that you buy one of these as soon as possible.

Having one will give you precious leverage over any white person who is drinking from a plastic bottle. Oh bottled water? really? I mean its cool, but I kind of thought you cared about the earth. If you see someone drinking a Fiji water, you do have the opportunity to go in for the kill. Do you know that your bottle of water has a bigger carbon footprint than me? I think they were originally going to call it aboriginal blood but that bottle was as close as they could get. You know, legally.

Again, this should only be used in extreme situations.

Following your confrontation, the white person is likely to have a metal bottle just like yours. If this happens, there will be an implicit pact whereby they will do favors for you provided you do not tell everyone they got their bottle after you.

Go see entry #75, "Threatening to Move to Canada:"

Quote
Within white culture, it is agreed upon that if Canada had better weather it would be a perfect place.

Being aware that this information can be used quite easily to gain the trust of white people. Whenever they say, Im moving to Canada, you must immediately respond with I have relatives in Canada.

They will then expect you to tell them about how Canada has a perfect healthcare system, legalized everything, and no crime. Though not true, it will reassure them that they are making the right choice by saying they want to move there.
Regards,

I drink from the tap.  But I rarely bother with putting the glass underneath first.

Does that mean I'm not whit enough?

My favorite entry is "passing." I wish they hadn't written a couple of paragraphs, I think one word and a period would have sufficed.

So it's a liberal-bashing site.  But why do they call them "white people"?

Who gives a crap.

I drink bevvies out of aluminium canz, and toss them in the back yard for the local outdoorsmen to scavenge... Of course, since I've moved to the 'burbs, has resulted in a problem with one of my neighbors... This gentulman, who we will call Ul Teg, seems to have a problem with a backyard recycling area...

I'm actually one of only a few students at Marquette that actually drink water from the *gasp* bubbler instead of from a bottle.

After filling the coffee pot with water from the tap, I noticed the water was pink and smelled funny.  I poured it out, waited a little while, and refilled it with water from the same tap that was less pink and less funny smelling.  I have no idea what it was.  The coffee tasted alright.  smiley

If I'm thirsty enough, I have no compunctions about drinking from a hose (and I often prefer it that way, anyway).

However, I do filter my tap water, mostly because it tastes like crap.  That, and I came from a town that would periodically have the sewer back up into the water supply.  Although a filter isn't nearly as good as boiling for that, it's better than nothing (and you don't always find out about those sewer problems in time).  undecided

Best water I ever drank came out of a well in the hills of northeast PA. CortezKid's house. He invited me over for a shoot-em-up a few years back when I went out there for my **th HS reunion. He has a lotta nice guns!

I still want to move back there. Mrs 280 ain't too keen on the idea though.  shocked

I've never found Scranton to be particularly nice, but the area it sits in is rather nice in a bleak moors of Scotland lite sense.

Damn, I'm having an identity crisis now.  All these years I've thought I was white.  I only found a few things on that list that I like.  Does that mean that I'm not white enough?
Oh, Lord, please let me be as sanctimonious and self-righteous as those around me, so that I may fit in.

I use a Brita pitcher, because it tastes better after the chlorammonia or whatever it is they use now is knocked down.

I didn't think wanting to drink water that was just WATER, which is what a charcoal filter does, had any racial connotation.

Yes but oddly enough, pointing that out ALSO makes you racist,  shocked  so you really should have kept your bigoted mouth shut, you terrible, terrible person.

Historically speaking anyways. Between the coal industry and the railroad industry Scranton was quite the hub. Here in CT we have Rockville, also a Victorian era hub, of textiles. One of the best sites in the world for water powered mills. Present day Rockville and present day Scranton share a lot of the same qualities although Scranton is quite a bit larger. It was quite sobering(?) seeing things like school buildings that were old 30+ years ago still there and still in use. I LOVE the friggin' radio tower on the Scranton Times building. No matter which way you enter that valley it presents quite the picture.  laugh

You need to visit northern New England! We have school buildings that are over 250 years old and still in use!  cheesy
