Jason Becker's Ice Bucket Challenge

[Angel]

I hate cheese.

Angel disagrees with you. A bucket of water will make a difference.

If 500 people save a bucket of water...that's 500 gallons...

When I had money, I had a few wells built...

More anti-American propaganda, really Angel? Leave it to us Americans to sacrifice our fresh water for a good cause (in a time of drought in the west no less).

[ELVIS]

I'm a terrible person...

We all are...

The word of God calls us "filthy rags."

[ELVIS]

a bucket isn't going to make any difference to anything.

You sound like Obomba...

To the right person, it will...

No matter how little water I use, I still get the same bill, around $45 a quarter. Conservation isn't gonna save me any money. Most of the time I flush the can downstairs with dehumidifier water, I'm not thirsty enough to try to purify it and drink it.

[ELVIS]

It's still good to conserve...

This just happened to be the meme I saw...cld just as easily say "Canada" or "First World"...

I fully support the cause...I'm just not fond of the method. We take water for granted, and we shouldn't...it's the giver of life...

Oh, I know. I don't wash all five vehicles, maybe two, and if I do it's in the yard. The village is picky about what goes down the street drains anyways. I even considered a rainwater storage and pump system for the toilets. I have the supply shut off to the one in the basement and dump the dehumidifier into the tank. Stupid to just dump it down the drain and not get any use out of it.

A group here in the village is promoting the use of rainwater collection barrels, for those who water gardens etc. We're bordered by Lake Erie and a river so proximity to the water is a selling point.

I don't use a whole lot. Daily showers, two loads of laundry a week, and maybe one in the dishwasher. I got a neighbor's bill by mistake once and they were in for $500, but the wife was babysitting and they had a teenage daughter. Just me here.

No doubt we have idiots doing the ice bucket thinking they were donating to a good cause. It took awhile for most to realize it's money or the ice bucket.

People are stupid, celebrity people more so.

It takes 30 gallons of water to create a pound of cheese, 150 gallons of water to create a pound of beef - a bucket isn't going to make any difference to anything.

Not to mention but that bucket being "wasted"... mostly evaporates and returns to the atmosphere where it hooks up with other moisture and eventual returns to Earth in the form of rain, dew, snow, etc... or it is absorbed into the soil which nurtures plants that produce oxygen that is released into the atmosphere where it combines with the abundant hydrogen making brand new water molecules and the cycle restarts again.

If every human on Earth took the ALS challenge there'd still be an abundant water supply to support life on the planet...

[DLR Bridge]

As the debate over water wasting continues, Dave and Ed go about their usual business by not accepting the challenge.

[ZahZoo]

Odds favor Dave & Ed have never heard of the ALS challenge... know they were challenged... or are even aware it's Monday today.

There already isn't enough...

Another challenge out for ED... This guy is associated with that crappy Catherine Porn project...

Also Hagar and John Meyer have thrown out challenges to Ed.
