Other uses for the Portland slop buckets........

Via comment from JFP on I forgot my grocery bag in Portland......



At our place, we've been living the Sam Rand Way, dutifully scraping all of our food slop into the official City of Portland slop bucket and dumping it into our yard debris bin so that a private company can make a bundle out of it. It's our way of showing solidarity with North Korea.

But not everyone has been complying with the program. We've been hearing stories about other purposes for which people are using their free slop bucket. Our two favorites so far: A kid using it as a trick-or-treat candy bag on Halloween; and a woman washing out her wigs in it.

The pails are so versatile -- surely, there are more uses going on out there. What are you doing with yours?

  1. Collecting spent brass in the buckets.... Portlandia is such a funny depiction of Portland and pretty accurate. I like the fact that these folks (and a variety of different Hollywood actors) are goring pretty much every Portland lefty ox and having a good time doing it.
