The key to watching Mythbusters is to DVR it, then not let up on the fast forward until ~1 minute past the commercials. Less recap, better flow, nd you can watch an entire episode in about 20 minutes without missing anything.

The key to watching Top Gear is to sit around in a smoking jacket drinking sherry and agree with everything in your best British accent. Bonus points if you can convince your S/O to answer to Jeeves or something and dress in a servant's outfit. Example: Top Gear is showing the new Ferrari Unobtainioso doing 500 mph through Southby's auction house. You say,"Yes, yes, I QUITE like the styling, but it would be so bloody hard to scrape the carcasses of pedestrians off of the trim. Jeeves, more sherry."

The key to watching Smash Labs is to fast forward through everything except the explosions. And maybe the cute scientist. But mainly the splosions.

Years ago I had a tuner similar to this one that mounted in the top edge of a replacement Strat pickguard. It was called "The Edge" and was also offered mounted in a humbucker ring. Ummmm, (google,google,google) ah HAH!
Optronix Tuning Systems
Same functionality(just turn the volume knob down and no one would hear you), easier to read, and held up very well over many gigs. About the same price, too.

I have two of these things, a 1.0 L and a 0.75 L and I love them. They are also available in a 0.5 L capacity. Yes, the colors are a little bland, but some of them have "Hydrate or DIE" on them, which is kind of funny in a geeky way for a company catchphrase. And there are always My Little Pony stickers out there, Magpie.

They are practically bullet-proof, as I dropped one down a steep trail. After a 100 ft. drop and another 300 ft. of bouncing off big, pointy rocks, it was a little scuffed but otherwise perfectly fine. I tend to like the fact that I have to slow down and sip from them instead of gulping and getting that horrible sloshy feeling, but to each his/her/their own.

As to the health broughaha, ummmm.... I just don't care anymore. Everything is bad for you anyways, so I will not stop using something that may or may not adversely affect my health. I'd rather live a slightly shortened, enjoyable life than try to prolong a life spent running away from anything with more than 3 syllables in its name. Then again, I probably would have been fiddling away in a burning house drinking my lead-flavored wine if I lived in Old Rome so... yeah.

And finally, for those of you who ARE concerned over the bisphenol A, Camelbak also makes a Performance bottle, which is similar in design but uses a squeezable polypropylene bottle similar to bike bottles. I haven't tried it, but it looks pretty sound.
