Arby's Bucket List

Thanks to the 2007 movie The Bucket List, people the world over have been spending a lot of time wondering about those things that they hope to see, to accomplish, to own, or achieve before they die. These items are written on a list called a “bucket list.” I had not heard of a bucket list until a few months ago when I saw the term on another blog. Since then I have seen the term popping up all over. This afternoon, for absolutely no good reason, I decided to write Arby’s Bucket List.

#10 I’ve always thought wooden buckets were cool. I have no idea how practical they are, but owning one would be fun, so item #10 on my list is a wooden bucket











like the one you can get at Connie’s Crafts for $45.

#9 Re-living some of my childhood and sharing that with my children is always nice. I’d love to own a genuine reproduction set of Bozo’s Buckets














complete with a Schwinn bike in bucket number six, a slew of silver dollars, and two tickets to Tommy Bartlett’s Water Show in Baraboo, Wisconsin! (I found these for $24.95)

#8 You never know when you’ll need an armadillo, and it’s frustrating when you don’t have one on hand. I’d like to own a Bucket O’ Armadillo. Just in case.













#7 Ever get a hankerin’ for a big pinch o’ chew, but you just don’t know what you’ll do with all the brown spit you’re sure to accumulate? Me, too. You can solve that dilemma with a spittoon.














This US Calvary spittoon is only $49.95 at http://www.bmsbiz.net/.

#6 I’ve always wanted a good mop bucket.













This beauty is only $50 at Cherokee Cleaning & Paper Supply.

#5 Just for kicks, I’d love to dig a hole with an excavator bucket. Might as well line the hole, fill it with water, and make a swimming pool while I’m at it. Why not?



#4 A bucket o’ suds. This needs no further explanation.



#3 This beauty does double duty as a Fireman’s Bucket, which is pretty cool, or a portable grill.


Unfortunately, I don’t know what I’ll do if I have to put out a fire in the fireman’s bucket. This makes me wonder, who answers the call when the fire station is on fire?

#2 A simple, clean, shiny steel bucket.

You never know when you’ll need to milk a cow.

The number one item on my bucket list is














A bucket head! And I already have one of these. It feels good to have one item checked off the list.
