What's as cool as a bucket?

A long time ago, this debate raged through the forums, and a little contest was almost brought out of it but never came to fruition. That contest was The Greatest Inaninimate Object in the Universe, and I hope to bring that back. But first, we need to come up with ideas. There is the previous list, sure... but that's no good, because it's five years old. The universe has changed! Well, not on a drastic level, but hey, well go with it.

So, what do you think is as cool as a bucket? Or - heaven forbid - cooler than a bucket!? I know, I know. Not much is cooler than a bucket, but hey, we can pretend.

Rule
We're talking inaninmate objects, here. None of this "The feeling you get when..." or "that one movie where..." or "the video game known as...". That's cheating! Inanimate objects should be material objects without life. And a movie is not a material object. A DVD or a Blu-Ray disc is. But they're not even close to as cool as a bucket, so don't even [sudden end of sentence]!

List of things that are - perhaps - as cool as a bucket
Binder Clip
Bouncy Ball
Brick
Bucket
Cable Tie
Carbon Rod
Cheesecake
Cling Film
Currency notes of high denomination
Electric Screwdriver
Fake Moustache
Hat
Liquid Nitrogen

Non-Lick Envelope

Post-it Note
Rope
Slinky
Small Pouch
Spork
Sports cap

Towel

Wheelbarrow
Wool
Very New Coins
Very Old Coins

Your face.

Real answer: bouncy ball

Liquid Nitrogen
Extravagant Hats

Ooh, hats. That's a very strong competitor.

Err... pants?

The Inanimate Carbon Rod is pretty cool.

Come on guys. What is so down with the bucket, that even the bucket goes "Wow homie, you can roll up in my crib anytime?"

(For the purposes of this post, a bucket has adopted the tone of a 90's black rapper)

Why, the humble MOP of course! Watch as the mop hangs out with the epitome of cool, the bucket. Why, if they both went to school,, they would get the back seats of the bus, as they are the coolest.

Wheelbarrow.

Fake moustache.

Pants are repressive and restrictive. I will put a negative vote toward pants and also a negative vote toward Loony BoB for suggesting such a ludicrous thought.


aaaand fake moustache wins!

Wheelbarrow is definitely up there.

Obviously a towel man. Any nigga with a towel is a nigga i can trust dawg.
Need i quote h2g2 for my justification of the towel?

I was about to suggest towels myself. Always know where your towel is.
Also, rope. You never know when you're going to need rope.

Cable ties are pretty cool.

Binder clip.

Brick.

Pocket watch.

Small pouches, as in those that are used to hold coins, dice, or other small objects.

Wool.

Cotton Candy (or candy floss) is pretty sweet. I mean, it's cotton, yes, but it also dissolves in your mouth and tastes delicious.

Watches.

EDIT: Hah, didn't see Pike's answer.

EDIT2: I second the negative vote against pants. Pants suck.

Slinkies

Play-Doh.

I second Play-Doh. It's like delicious clay.

I didn't suggest it, you numpty. I will, however, say that perhaps you should look for more spectacular pants.

The list is growing, people, but I want more!

In fact, I'll add more.

Post-it Notes
Sporks
Electric Screwdriver
Cheesecake
Sports caps
Non-Lick Envelope
Cling Film

While I agree watches are cool, if they were inannimate they would become somewhat less cool.

Very Old Coins
Very New Coins
Currency notes of high denomination

A good mechanical watch is cool whether or not it is actually running!

I don't understand...

Hmm, inanimate was perhaps the wrong choice of word. I was thinking more along the lines of "not alive" than "not capable of movement". Obviously things like electric screwdrivers and pocketwatches are capable of movement. Not to mention slinkies. :D

Non-sentient.

"Harry! It's an inanimate smurfing object!"

"YOU'RE AN INANIMATE smurfING OBJECT."

Shiny rocks. Especially opals. Opals are awesome.

Hey now, don't be blaming the Scots for this one, it's obviously some Kiwi nonsense.

:poo:

Sonic screwdrivers.

Silly Putty.

THE GOGGLES! THEY LOOK PRETTY AWESOME but they do nothing!

Chairs. Sitting is just wonderful.
