What's as cool as a bucket?

[Loony BoB]

I mean, it's well known that a weedwhacker is cooler than a bucket, but buckets are still very cool. So what's on par with a bucket? This is an open debate.

The penny is on par with a bucket. a bucket of :skull::skull::skull::skull: that is :D

[LunarWeaver]

I enjoy pockets because they're like mini-buckets attached to your pants.

[Loony BoB]

That's disgusting, Bert.

I'm talking about empty buckets, anyway. Well, an empty bucket. That means one bucket. And a penny is certainly nowhere near as cool as a bucket.

EDIT: Pockets are also not as cool as buckets.

[Old Manus]

I hope I wasn't the only one who invisaged a Top Gear style 'Cool Wall' when I read this thread.

[Loony BoB]

I hope I wasn't the only one who invisaged a Top Gear style 'Cool Wall' when I read this thread.
It's actually kind of creepy because I was originally thinking of ranking things and editing my first post constantly based on the arguments made in this thread as to how cool something is.

Maybe I should do that.

[Rye]

A bucket hand is cooler than bucket. After all, you can sit on it when you're tired.

[Shauna]

A pail.

[XxSephirothxX]

Lamp.

[Shlup]

Hm... I don't know. I would say a folding table is as cool as a bucket, but that may just be the whore in me talking.

[Loony BoB]

A pail is not as cool as a bucket. That's like saying a Casio is as cool as a Rolex. Which actually might be closer to the truth.

I don't even know what a bucket hand is but it certainly can't be as cool as a bucket. It's a spinoff. Fool's Gold!

[Old Manus]

I was also thinking about the song 'There's a hole in my bucket, dear Henry, dear Henry', but I thought it was pushing the boat out a bit.

[escobert]

Well, if we're talking about a empty bucket that changes everything!
Well, I'd say bucket tool belt is on par since you need the bucket for the tool belt! :D

[Loony BoB]

Lamps are okay, but too cliché what with the whole "I love lamp" crap. It became too mainstream to be a true classic like buckets are. I was never really into lamps.

Folding table is an intersting argument and I'll have to think on it.

What's a bucket tool belt?

And a bucket hand too. Man are you guys making bucket everythings over in America? God you ruin a good thing sometimes.

EDIT: What, me double post?

[LunarWeaver]

I was going to try a bowl because it's like a bucket you eat out of but now I'm a frightened American.

[Rye]

A robotic mobile body for cockroaches. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwZD59Ic9T8)

[Jojee]

Ice cube? *_*

[Shlup]

Bucket clothing is not as cool as a bucket. That's just silly.

[XxSephirothxX]

Chip clip. Not only is it more versatile than a bucket, but you can stick it on someone and cause them pain.

[Shauna]

How about a barrel, then? :D

[Christmas]

No one or nothing is as cool as SEPHIROTHISHERE. :(

[Loony BoB]

http://www.shop4tools.co.uk/acatalog/70143_irwin_bucket_pro_tool_bag-sp.jpg
I've started the cool wall but I still have no freaking clue what the hell that is supposed to be. It's a belt that goes around a bucket? Do you dress your dog, too?

[Shlup]

Chip clip. Not only is it more versatile than a bucket, but you can stick it on someone and cause them pain.
That is possibly the worst suggestion yet. :(

Though I stand by my folding table suggestion, I'll continue to ponder this while I make my cocoa.

[escobert]

Some people dress their dogs :D. It's so you can put you tools outside the bucket and still be able to put things IN the bucket ;)

[Loony BoB]

How about a barrel, then? :D
Now that's more like it! This is much closer to being as cool as a bucket.

[Shlup]

The barrel is merely the uncle of a bucket. What's that about?

[escobert]

Seriouly, or what about a bucket for a tractor. It's a bigger more useful bucket

[Rye]

One of those buckets that can be used to make sandcastles because they're shaped like towers.

[Loony BoB]

The barrel is merely the uncle of a bucket. What's that about?
I don't know, but I think it's something to do with something I've seen on a Western movie.

EDIT: Let's not get into the detail of the variety of buckets. That's going into way too much detail. Generalise more.

[Shlup]

One of those buckets that can be used to make sandcastles because they're shaped like towers.

We're talking about things as cool as a bucket, not a bucket with enhanced coolness.

BoB, keep on top of these people! They just don't understand the query.

[Old Manus]

How about an ice bucket, for wine?

EDIT: enlightened by jojo
EDIT2: And bob, previously
EDIT3: THREAD GOES TOO FAST OMG CIDDIES

[sephirothishere]

No one or nothing is as cool as SEPHIROTHISHERE.


there is your answer BoB...AGios...

[Loony BoB]

Again, a bucket is a bucket. Don't be so ...bucketist.

[Levian]

Keys are pretty cool.

[Rye]

Hmmmm... a mini-refridgerator.

[Jojee]

Why is ice cube #7? >(

And am I as cool as bucket?^.^

What about penguins?
http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g6/sukifruit/2006/pengueeeens.jpg

[oddler]

I say heavy duty vacuum cleaner.

[Rye]

Actually, Jojo hit it right on the head. Penguins. :jess:

[Loony BoB]

Keys are pretty cool.
This is true. Would you say they are cooler or less cool than barrels? I'm having a hard time deciding.

Mini-fridges are going right up there.

Penguins are going somewhere up there too, good stuff people.

[Shauna]

I'll tell you what's cooler that buckets. Lava. :cool:

[Rye]

I'll tell you what's cooler that buckets. Lava. :cool:

Lava lamps!

[LunarWeaver]

Spork is a funny word and useful invention.

[Rye]

...Pie-charts. :jess: *scores BoB points*

[Loony BoB]

The more suggestions I get, the more I realise that pockets aren't as cool as I thought they were. :( Rough ride.

Vacuum Cleaners is given a starting spot of #29.

EDIT: Rye, are you trying to hit on me?

[oddler]

Heavy Duty Vacuum Cleaners, BoB.

And is the question really about buckets now since weedwhackers are obviously superior?

[Rye]

Horse feed-bags. And Segways. And Self-Stirring Mugs.

[Levian]

Keys are pretty cool.
This is true. Would you say they are cooler or less cool than barrels? I'm having a hard time deciding.


Hard to tell. I have a key I found 5 years ago, and I would be willing to give up a barrel to find out what it does. The mysteries of the barrels are limited.

[oddler]

Ballet shoes. Followed closely by envelopes that don't need to be licked.

[Rye]

Naughty girl calanders. *scores double BoB points* :p

[oddler]

Wheelbarrow?

[XxSephirothxX]

Chip clip. Not only is it more versatile than a bucket, but you can stick it on someone and cause them pain.
That is possibly the worst suggestion yet. :(
You must just have lame chip clips. :mad2:

[Jojee]

smittenkitten *scores 10000x more Bawb points than Rye*

Yes I'm hitting on your woman :</>D

[Loony BoB]

Heavy Duty Vacuum Cleaners, BoB.

And is the question really about buckets now since weedwhackers are obviously superior?
Because it's pointless asking what is as cool as a weedwhacker is since the answer is nothing.

I can't deal with Rye's mind games, I can't put pie charts up there. There's too much emotional conflict going on there.

Non-lick envelopes are definitely going up there.

EDIT: I'm totally not including people, I'll get in trouble.

[Jowy]

Ironing boards, coat hangers, and lava lamps are cooler than buckets.

[Loony BoB]

Wheelbarrow?
I like the way you think a lot better than your ideas for new usernames.

EDIT: Lava lamps are a variety of lamps. And we already have lava, too.

Coathangers, now...

[sephirothishere]

bucketheads are different to buckets...they are level in coolness...completely freakier though...

[Rye]

A pinata that spills hair from the heads of EoFFers. *x3 BoB points*

[Jowy]

I forgot to mention oversized foam hands with the index finger pointing upwards.

[LunarWeaver]

[Loony BoB]

It's at times like these that I wish I remembered what a pinata is.

LunarWeaver I love you for this moment.

[sephirothishere]

rye is high...ye.h...naughty girl calendars...and buckets or BoBs go as hand in hand as buckets and heads....

[Rye]

http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/cinco-de-mayo-pinata.jpg + the head hair of EoFFers~

[sephirothishere]

pinata is those thngs you hit and stuff comes outta them...

[XxSephirothxX]

Loftable beds and (ANALOG :mad2:) watches are some of the coolest things ever invented.

[Loony BoB]

http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/cinco-de-mayo-pinata.jpg + the head hair of EoFFers~
I'm not sure that's practical enough to include on this list. This is possibly making things a little too complicated. Let's leave contents of things out of it and stick to single objects.

[Jojee]

http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/cinco-de-mayo-pinata.jpg + the head hair of EoFFers~
That's gross D: All that hair. Getting in your food! Dx

Pinatas are awesome, though :mog:

[rubah]

Loftable beds and (ANALOG :mad2:) watches are some of the coolest things ever invented.

azzie's hot little butt is the coolest thing ever.

[Rye]

Sharpie markers~

[Shlup]

I've yet to see any examples that are even close to considerable, excluding my folding table example. Except maybe ice; that one's kinda close.

[Loony BoB]

Analog watches was really tough to put on there. I had to consider it against coffee tables for some time.

There's just something about that penny. I might need to move it up a bit.

[sephirothishere]

i guess pennies and buckets are equal...i guess...

[Loony BoB]

Completely undecided as to where sharpie markers should go. On some levels they're so cool but then it's just hard to weigh them up against such things as lamps, pennies and coathangers.

[Rye]

Those handheld lint & hair remover machine thingies. They're really handy.

[XxSephirothxX]

Bruce Campbell, chainsaw arm and all, is almost as cool as Nerf guns.

[Levian]

I wonder how long we can go without bringing up Final Fantasy.

... D'oh http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v17/levia/smack.gif

[Loony BoB]

No people, Azar.

Lint removers are okay, although lint is probably better. But I'll stick to the removers for now.

EDIT: 30 things so far and I've gone to n+1 numbering.

EDIT: Final Fantasy slots in just under naughty girl calendars.

[Evastio]

Probably a barrel since buckets and barrels are both used to store stuff.

[Loony BoB]

Probably a barrel since buckets and barrels are both used to store stuff.
Slow on the draw! Barrels are already on the list.

[Rye]

Polaroid Pictures. <3

[Loony BoB]

I just got bored of this so someone else can keep up the rankings.

[XxSephirothxX]

No people, Azar.
Bruce Campbell is no mere person! And I can't believe you don't comprehend the awesomeness of Nerf guns. What a sad childhood you must have led. :(

Staplers.

[fire_of_avalon]

Potholders/hot pads/whatever the hell some of you crazies call them.

[Loony BoB]

Nerf guns are cool.

Staplers even more so.

[blackmage_nuke]

A red bucket
or a dimension bag

[Shlup]

It comforts me to know that BoB and I have similar ideas in this area.

[Rocket Edge]

Bing Cosby.

a bucket filled with sparkling grape juice. :bigsmile:

[Jojee]

That looks surprisingly good, Kishki :( I want some. ^^

[escobert]

EoFF is on par with a bucket. Or maybe you are Dan!

[rubah]

I like springs

[Loony BoB]

EoFF is on par with a bucket. Or maybe you are Dan!
I'm on par with a bottle of L'Oréal shampoo. Because I'm worth it.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

You're high-savvy regarding shampoo slogans but don't understand what the deal is with piñatas? I just don't know, man.

[Yamaneko]

They're all pretty lame. Unless this is within the context of some sort of Internet gag, in which case, apple cores in a bucket-sized pail.

[rubah]

stu's dad makes High Quality Performance Pails.

[oddler]

There were entirely too many important people posting in a row so I had to break up the party.

Let's take the top ten answers and put them in a cage match so we can finally know what the coolest thing really is. It's either that or a poll. :(

[final fantasy is stinky]

hehe rubberbands..... enough said:love:

[Martyr]

How about a wench?

[o_O]

Highlanders are cooler than a bucket.

Blues aren't.

[Jojee]

hehe rubberbands..... enough said:love: Yes! Rubber bands are the best ^_^ You can use them to tie your hair, to hold things together, to close bags, and to hurt people ^^ in so many ways.... so many ways....:greenie:

[Little Blue]

Lawnmowers, with a bucket on the back.

[sephirothishere]

[Rantz]

I'll go ahead with good confidence and say Paper clips. I mean, come on, just look at them!

http://p.office1000.com/mrp/26749BAU.jpg

More examples to be found here (http://www.officemuseum.com/Elongated_nifty_type_paper_clip.jpg), here (http://www.nunndesign.com/images/pageclips/paper-clip-individ.jpg), here (http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/j/ap/xmtl10404162128.widec.jpg), here (http://www.nunndesign.com/images/pageclips/monogram.jpg), here (http://www.sxc.hu/pic/m/t/th/theliberat/355617_paper_clip.jpg) and here. (http://www.nunndesign.com/images/pageclips/paper-clip-oval.jpg)

You can do other stuff with them than to hold paper together! For example, bend them to Sakai tops (http://www.grand-illusions.com/images/articles/articles/paper_clip_top/paper_clip_top_diagram.gif), use them as a haircut on whoever happens to have a magnetic head (http://komod.com.ua/images/goodsphoto/00000391/paper-clip-dispenser-black_x500.jpg), making christmas tree decorations (http://www.merrimack.edu/uploads/Jewish_Christian_Relations/files/paper%20clip%20for%20web.JPG), bending them to stupid shapes (http://www.resonancepub.com/images/Paper_Clip_Motor_1.gif) or this (http://www.ualberta.ca/~happnin/images/album_05_06/Paper%20Clip.JPG) (I don't know what these are doing and why, but they sure seem to be having fun!)

The best thing of all, though, has to be that you'll never run out of them! It's like magic!

[Quindiana Jones]

Several gallons of melted cheese. However, they would be stroed in a big bucket, so I guess that makes the bucket cooler because without it the cheese would go everywhere. Damnit.

Cucumbers.
