Honey Bucket is a business just as Johnny-on-the-Spot is where I come from.

Interesting Artsy since we are both from NY. This place we used to camp at during the summer had a service truck that went around to pump out all the public restrooms & campers and it was called the Honey Wagon.

BH, I am from NYC. Upstate NY might as well be Montana when it comes to familiar terms! I was just there and noticed that I was making right turns on red lights and parking on the "wrong" side of the street. There is so much of a difference in everyday actions as well as companies, terminology, etc.

I feel ya, edog.

You may be familiar with the campground Darien Lake which is now a Six Flags. We used to seasonal camp there during the summers in the 70's and the owner at the time was Paul Snyder who owned the Buffalo Braves which are now the Los Angeles Clippers. I to have a hard time adjusting to the style when I go back home from being here so long.

We did it in a failed attempt to entertain you cd6, next time we will try to do better....

Now I gotta head down to the commons, I feel a "thread bump" coming on.

I'm surprised the North Ballard Hillbillys aren't flocking down to use it. I mean, how often do they get to use a toilet with an actual seat?

Oh wait, maybe they are and that's why everybody thinks the homeless have taken over Ballard!

You'll be happy to know that we stay north of the border. Can't wander too far from our boxed wine supply.

It's a thriving home business up in Hillbilly land.

I bet they could make a boxed liquor brand work with the visage and endorsement of Elton John on the box. It would be sold as some sort of party in a box. Maybe come with its own mp3 player built into the side.

Oh no no. Phil Lynott. Comes with vinyl.

But vinyl is hardly suited to a cheap party anytime go anywhere format.

Yes, but a Hillbilly is more likely to have a junker record player than a fancy mp whatsit.

No mp3 players are cheap these days they would be built into the box. The box would be one part liquor advert and one part jacket notes with the overall message bring the party, live a little and indulge a lot. I think Sir Elton is the perfect posterboy for that message.

But you're selling whiskey in a box Edog. None of the above work in that context.

I was thinking cotton candy flavored gin or vodka.

Nope. You said boxed whiskey initially. Put if you want to change the playing field Sir Elton would probably endorse pink champagne.

I think whiskey in a box could be peddled by Willie Nelson.

or possibly Keith Richards.

So Phil Lynott didn't work? Was it an over the head moment? Tap tap. Wake up!

Amazing that we are still kicking this shitty bucket.

So here I go, off on a tangent...

Really tempted to open a distillery based on hand sanitizer harvesting. A pressure cooker, a coil of copper tubing, some ice, shaboom... hints of Aloe and vitamin E, and whiff of urinal mint... sweet.

GI, don't knock on Keith Richards, he's old and lucky and should get grandfathered in along with George Burns, as the luckiest f_ckers ever.

See there! A son is born -- and we pronounce him fit to fight.
There are black-heads on his shoulders, and he pees himself in the night.
We'll make a man of him, put him to trade, teach him to play Monopoly, and to sing in the rain.

that's totally you Edog!

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those ... moments will be lost in time, like tears...in rain.

Time to die.

Let's put it to a vote.

On a thread about toilet paper, I said that 'I am Captain Kirk, and you Edog are a Klingon...'

Here is your response:

"KAPLAGH! I have to admit I've always like the bluntness afforded by the Klingon lifestyle, but in real life I am much more of a Captain Kirk than most people can hope to be. Its not always a good thing, but now the days are sure, I'm in the autumn of the year and now I think of my life I've become much more of a Pickard. Still it was a very good year."

http://www.myballard.com/forum/topic.php?id=13850

So, I ask you, what do Captain Kirk and toilet paper have in common?

"I'm in the autumn of the year "

that's the part that confused me. I know you have a wee one so you can't be that old. yet you seem to consider yourself as much.

Trying to breath life into a stale set up that did not work the first time is like some desperate attemp by Frank Burns to get one up on Hawkeye. I mean, as long as we are playing some tvland style of tit for tat.

Edog is an old soul GI. That would explain the Autumn reference. He's also a curmudgeon.

Look Frank, did you even notice I paid you a compliment with my remark before your Star Trek "joke", if we can call it that. Of all the people on her who are not themselves when you so obviously are, I sang you a line a celebration of an invocation and here we are on Saturday night and you trying to frame me as slow. Seriously tough guy, what's your beef with me?

THANK YOU FOR LETTIN ME BE MICE ELF AGAIN!

Back to square one. But to be fair Edog, I think I started it in response to Pixlperson. Sorry about that.

You call that a compliment?

It's alright if you don't know or remember the joke. That doesn't make you thick necessarily. And nobody used the word slow and thick was also your word. Why did you ask the question?

Anyway, just messing with you.

So what do toilet paper and Captain Kirk have in common?

OK as much as I hate to do this I am going to add to this topic!
I actually stopped and used the said Honey-Bucket today!
I do not believe this is the actual unit that was on Market Street, if it is then they cleaned it with miracle cleaner, because I used that one a while ago and it was bad. This one is OK but no urinal! So do not look into the pit when you pee! Plenty of hand sanitizer so that is good and the unit was relatively clean. So there you go, that is a first hand report on the Honey-Bucket.

So there it is. *VeganBiker* admits to using the facilities you are whining about. paying for sanitary facilities is a basic human rights issue. Neanderthals; what is your answer? Will you personally feed the unworthy into the meat grinder?

There you have it! Now 2 brave souls have actually used it and reported that it is perhaps passable. Granted you have to turn a blind eye to the garish color.

C'mon Edog. I'll stand guard outside and make sure no pusher tries to catch you in an uncompromising position. You can do it!

All kidding aside, there have been numerous occasions when I have been down there with the kid and a dog and 2 bikes and seriously, I'm going to force them all to go over to the library and wait outside because dad's last beer has been processed?

The outhouse is pure genius and I'll share it with any of the homeless folks down there no problem.
