Speaking of water…
Okay, I can admit it: this is a pretty stylish water fountain. Bronze, fully immersive, ELKAY! However, it is still only slightly cooler than the Fresh Flow Pet Fountain my cat drinks out of at home. Let’s face it: public water fountains are fucking gross. How much of the water actually goes into your mouth, and how much of it dribbles down your disgusting face back onto the spigot? I’m guessing A LOT. Rinse, repeat, gross. Coupled with the fact that god knows what else is happening with the pipes and the filters and the transients and I’m sorry but I haven’t drunk out of a public water fountain since the third grade.
Stranger Offices: Please invest in one of these!! SAVE JOSH FEIT!!

That is a stylish drinking fountain, but it looks like Mr. Poe was there first.
Editorial has one of those dispensers and it's mildewed and disgusting, though not as bad as our water fountain.
Jesus, from the look of the outside of the Stranger offices, mixed with the descriptions of the dereliction inside, I'm surprised the whole place hasn't collapsed!
Those things get gross too. Especially if the water in the little tray never gets cleaned out.
Just use a sink with a Brita.
We have many of those refillable water cooler things. There's like one around every corner. And I don't know what's wrong with you people in editorial, but the ones on the 3rd floor are not mildewed, for fuck's sake.
Come on. Tap water is good enough...
even the Mayor agrees with me.
Seattle giving bottled water the boot

Fuck that Fresh Flow crap. Mine broke on me after less than two years (and regular cleanings/maintenance). I feel bad not replacing it because the cat likes it so much. However, the cat also enjoys licking her own ass a lot, so I've held off on it so far.
And seriously-- if you're so squicked out by the fountain, get a Nalgene or a Sigg or something and pack it with you. I have yet to use a fountain at my college.
If you're not coordinated enough to drink from a water fountain without getting water all over your face, you're probably not coordinated enough to suck cock.
Or play Nintendo, I guess, if you do that instead. With your face.
I'm with you. Public fountains are gross. When I think about it too much, I wonder how we're not all dead.
Maybe I should stop thinking about water fountains...
