Fallingwater Water Water

My co-worker went to see the Fallingwater® house and brought back a few bottles of Fallingwater® Water™ for the office. It is “bottled expressly for Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater®”

But, no worries, “water does not originate at Fallingwater”.

This really depresses me. Mostly because it’s like McDonald’s style branding, which I know isn’t new, but Fallingwater® Water™ seems kind of insane to me.

FROM THE PEOPLE WHO BROUGHT YOU WATER, COMES…

WATER!

BUT YOU BOUGHT IT HERE, AT FALLINGWATER!

SO IT’S NOT JUST WATER, IT’S FALLINGWATER WATER!

OK that’ll be $3.75 please. Yes, that’s in US Dollars.

Anyway I brought one home because it’s “premium” drinking water. Not that crap water you get out of your faucets. That shit is for amateurs. I cannot believe I have been drinking just regular, non-premium water from not Fallingwater. Guess what? It tastes like Frank rolling in his grave. Just kidding.

My co-worker brought back apples from PA which were insanely delicious. It is crazy how something so small can taste so awesome. I ate like three of them, and then hid the rest like a squirrel.

And in totally unrelated, but equally awesome news, I rode the subway with a bear last night.

    I believe that if you analyze Pennsylvania, You would arrive at this bit of statehood anthropology. It is either export FallingWater and Great Tasting Apples or consign yourself to becoming a suburb of NYC. Right, I know – that’s mean.

    The guy at the far end of the subway car has a slight resemblance to FLW. More or Less?

    oh my god - you should have stolen that bear. Just grabbed him and RUN at your stop. That’s one of those baddass bears from FAO Schwartz that costs something crazy like $1000. Premium bear. Speaking of FAO… do you remember that big floor piano from “Big”? I recently learned that it could be mine for the low low price of $250,000. such a bargain.

    Fallingwater is in Bear Run (PA)….just sayin’..

    Good thing Stephen Colbert doesn’t take the subway
