Bucket List
What bride doesn’t dream of being photographed in a bib at her reception? It’s like a fairy tale; The Princess and the Baby Back Ribs. Then at the end of the night, you can gather your bridesmaids around and throw a bucket of cole slaw.

I don’t immediately see a penis, but keep reading he. Huh?
March 16, 2010 at 4:32 pm
I would just like to know what a “happy day supporter” is. Maybe happy days have penises too.
March 16, 2010 at 4:33 pm
Oh look! A barf bucket with buttons. How novel.
March 16, 2010 at 4:33 pm
I needed a barf bucket today. The buttons would have given my daughter something to look at as she was heaving.
March 16, 2010 at 4:36 pm
Am I a shitty artist because I attribute male and female persona’s to my sculpture? Granted..they aren’t super shitty “repurposed” garbage cans…. : ponders her own role in the art world :
March 16, 2010 at 4:37 pm
Happy day supporter sounds like a jock strap of some type. So, Helen, maybe there IS a dick involved.
March 16, 2010 at 4:38 pm
Yanno, if I wanted to use a sap bucket for anything other than it’s original purpose, I’d want it unadorned. Those damn buttons would be the first thing to go in it as a trashcan.
March 16, 2010 at 4:39 pm
#6 cratz~ I think you’re onto something .
March 16, 2010 at 4:40 pm
Can I request a “she” bucket? Would it have pearls instead of buttons?
March 16, 2010 at 4:40 pm
This is the kind of stuff that gives “repurposed” a bad name.
March 16, 2010 at 4:40 pm
{{{sudbaki©’s daughter}}} I had that last week. Sucks yak hoof.
Vintage sap buckets are actually pretty cool. Perhaps painted in a solid mellow color if necessary. With lame ass button face, not so much.
March 16, 2010 at 4:41 pm
I can’t believe even a sap would buy this terribly fugly thing.
March 16, 2010 at 4:41 pm
OK, now I MUST open the Gimp. You have been warned.
March 16, 2010 at 4:45 pm
it’s better than the Michael Jackson face, I’ll give you that.
March 16, 2010 at 4:45 pm
#2: A Happy Day Supporter is sort of like a size XL jockstrap, only with buttons.
March 16, 2010 at 4:46 pm
You can upcycle just about anything…
March 16, 2010 at 4:46 pm
How many magazines can you fit in him if he’s only 9″ by 7″?
March 16, 2010 at 4:47 pm
Oh. I see another Great Mind thought “jockstrap.” This place is a virtual Fruit of the Loom Round Table.
March 16, 2010 at 4:47 pm
someone needs to photo shop this onto the face of alien girl from yesterday…it would go nice with the sunflower in her hair.
March 16, 2010 at 4:50 pm
Why are there so many,
buckets about rainbows…

March 16, 2010 at 4:54 pm
I love how some of the buttons still have thread attached from their re-purposing.
March 16, 2010 at 4:56 pm
I gag, I puke, I vomit profusely. In fact, I projectile-vomit buttons and other assorted upcycled hardware.
God, WHY? why must people anthropomorphize so egregiously?
March 16, 2010 at 4:59 pm
Those look like some pretty decent old buttons. People collect those. Completely wasted as a smiley face glued to a bucket, of course.
March 16, 2010 at 5:04 pm
it puts the lotion in the bucket.

#16 razberries–*snort*
A REAL happy day supporter
March 16, 2010 at 5:17 pm
March 16, 2010 at 5:18 pm
But, I thought it was women that had the multiple buttons…
March 16, 2010 at 5:21 pm
no, i don’t know why ‘he’ has to be curved. that’s just how ‘he’ is.
March 16, 2010 at 5:32 pm
Now, THAT’S a happy bukkit.
Cute as a button

March 16, 2010 at 5:33 pm
Hey, I’m a “happy day supporter” too but I submitted this atrocity and I’m feeling non-remorseful!!
March 16, 2010 at 5:34 pm
#27 geektastic — hahahahahahaha!
Ding ding ding – I got your regretsy comment of the day right here!
March 16, 2010 at 5:34 pm
#30 wins at life
March 16, 2010 at 5:35 pm
I’m starting to think you should have to get a license to own a glue gun. It’s the only way to protect the public from this wave of “random shit glued to other random shit.”
March 16, 2010 at 5:35 pm
Sometimes I try to guess if the crafter is one of the “omg I’m on regretsy, whatever, haha” or “VILE and EVIL regretsy people are so GOSHDARNED creewww-elll!” sort of people.
Of course I always hope for the former, but I’m guessing this one might be the latter. Just a hunch.
March 16, 2010 at 5:36 pm
And #30 geektastic does it again!
March 16, 2010 at 5:44 pm
#35 I have seen some nice old crewel work sold on etsy, but to take decent buttons & an ok bucket and make something this vile does seem evil or just too dum.
March 16, 2010 at 5:46 pm
I’m all for small gov’t & all but I think society would benefit from strict limits on glitter, glue guns and sappy crappy happy faces.
March 16, 2010 at 5:52 pm
The buttons that are bigger than the eyes just look like tumors.
March 16, 2010 at 6:00 pm
This makes me feel better about the fact that I briefly held a bedazzler today.
March 16, 2010 at 6:08 pm
GYAAHH! Oh god no – the Beldame made him sew black buttons on his eyes and NOW HE’S TRAPPED FOREVER!
Y’all are killin’ me with the hilarious shopfuckery.
March 16, 2010 at 6:11 pm
Happy Day Supporter sounds more like a good sports bra.
March 16, 2010 at 6:13 pm
U FOUN MAH BUKKIT!!!
Nevrmind. U kin keep it.
March 16, 2010 at 6:26 pm
OH, MY GOD!!!!!! IT’S MY FIRST HUSBAND!!!!!! He always had that stupid grin on his face. . . and no penis. . .
March 16, 2010 at 6:31 pm
“#40 pantsmonkey :
This makes me feel better about the fact that I briefly held a bedazzler today.”
Just as long as you put it down before anyone got hurt.
March 16, 2010 at 6:34 pm
What is the purpose of a smiley face on a vintage sap bucket? And did “he” have an premature oopsie, and that’s why “he’s” white?
March 16, 2010 at 6:38 pm
#11 geektastic: Thank you. I’m glad you’re feeling better. Can I use “sucks yak hoof?”
March 16, 2010 at 6:39 pm
But of course! If not for regretsy, I’d never have thought of it.
March 16, 2010 at 6:42 pm
Oh, I should add, the next step down is “sucks cosmic yak hoof”.
“#43 bootsychoo :
U FOUN MAH BUKKIT!!!”
Funny you should say that…
Loves me some lolrus.
March 16, 2010 at 6:48 pm
It’s funny how I never managed to realize that buttons and glitter turn “garbage” into “art”
March 16, 2010 at 6:55 pm
Why oh why do so many Etsy sellers insist on taking perfectly nice things and turning them into total crap? This old sap bucket has such delightful character. But put it in the hands of a fool with a glue gun and you get — what? A gender-assigned, glue-gunned piece of crap.
Thanks for all the great PS fuckery, though, guys. I’ve had a crappy day, and you guys are always good at cheering up my cold heart!
March 16, 2010 at 7:00 pm
On the minus side: Buttons display a marked lack of creativity.
On the plus side: It could’ve been macaroni. Or Yarn.
March 16, 2010 at 7:06 pm
This reminds me of Willy the Robot from Doctor Otto and the Riddle of the Gloom Beam: http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c136/doctorfurious/Willy.jpg
March 16, 2010 at 7:07 pm
#9 kitty: Yep. A pearl button necklace.
March 16, 2010 at 7:10 pm
Really? I get to decide for myself how to repurpose this item? Really?
How about a chamber pot?
It would be appropriate…putting crap in crap.
March 16, 2010 at 7:12 pm
How on earth did I miss the Meth bucket the first time through? Classic.
March 16, 2010 at 7:17 pm
geektastic; I find it ironic you use photobucket for your whimsical fuckery *he he he*!!
Ned you beat me to the punch dammit! The only use I could find for this was to have been the piss bucket for my kids when they were little and wouldn’t go to the “outhouse” aka pit toilet when we would go camping, would have been more fun than pissing in an old five pound cat litter bucket with a lid!
March 16, 2010 at 7:20 pm
The thing that kills me is that someone would probably have paid way more for that thing if that person had left it exactly the way they found it.
They turned something neat into a piece of shit, which is different from these other people turning pieces of shit into something.
March 16, 2010 at 7:30 pm
I take exception to that.
Many times I’ve been called a bucket with buttons glued on it.
March 16, 2010 at 7:38 pm
I’d like to keep buttons IN it.
March 16, 2010 at 7:50 pm
This actually scares me more than the mutant childphotoshopping.
March 16, 2010 at 8:25 pm
“He” has a third eye in his forehead, but it is blind and useless.
Where does one get an unadulterated sap bucket? Do you have to be in Québec?
March 16, 2010 at 8:30 pm
@Raz, congrats on COTD
HK, here’s the code to embed her bucket (it will fit)

March 16, 2010 at 9:02 pm
Geektastic, I daresay your photoshopping of abovementioned poor girl was an improvement over the disaster we saw yesterday!
I dunno. I am kinda of a sucker for happy faces. Even infinitely shitty ones. My beef is more the giant button on the forehead….wtf?!?!
It just screams, “shit I ran outta the small size buttons and need to fill in this circle quick!!! Don’t you know I need this $16 for my next fix?!?! I am going batshit CRAAAZY here!!!!”
March 16, 2010 at 9:04 pm
‘Smiley face’?
That is a smiley face you see on an acid trip gone seriously bad…
March 16, 2010 at 9:07 pm
#50 geektastic: Well, you know what they say about “great minds”…
They are often riddled with mental illness & are prone to mid-life suicides.
Oh, & I luvs lolrus, too.
March 16, 2010 at 9:12 pm
It reminds me of those dot tests for color blindness. On the upside, it IS more lifelike than that bedazzled little girl face photograph from yesterday.
March 16, 2010 at 9:15 pm
Helen Killer should be made CEO of Etsy. She has more interest in highlighting the utter rubbish and reseller crap than ANY of the etsy admin staff.
March 16, 2010 at 9:28 pm
#69 – I agree.
It is sad but true that I learned about Regretsy before I learned about Etsy.
Helen practically made Etsy what it is today!
March 16, 2010 at 9:54 pm
As did I, Snark.
Regretsy comes before etsy in Australia.
March 16, 2010 at 10:03 pm
At last! The perfect man!
and just in case that doesn’t actually work…

So. . . . Can I collect sap in this abomination, or what?!
March 16, 2010 at 11:21 pm
I just read the description again. I love how she begins with “Fabulous Vintage Sap Bucket”,and ends with “OH SO RETRO”.
In between she tried her best to make us forget that the bucket it is just a trash can with glued buttons.
I think the art form here is balancing salesmanship with imaginary play friends.
March 16, 2010 at 11:51 pm
“#74 snarkeygirl :
So. . . . Can I collect sap in this abomination, or what?!”
Most saps I know wouldn’t fit. Maybe with a chain saw and a blender.
Thank you! Don’t forget to tip your wait staff!
March 17, 2010 at 2:41 am
When is happy day? Did Hallmark create another holiday?
March 17, 2010 at 4:33 am
Ah Regretsians! Thanks for laughs. You photoshop tom foolery never ceases to make me guffaw like a mad person. People cast strange looks at me as they pass by my office and hear me snorting with glee. Y’all are fabulous!
March 17, 2010 at 7:05 am
More upcycling goodness:

Ya know what the really sad thing is…I recently sold a maple sap bucket in worse shape than this one on eBay.
Advertised it as: Vintage Maple Sap Bucket. Dented, Rusted, Paint peeling. Doesn’t leak if you hold your fingers in the right spots.
I got 20 bucks for it. I guess this person’s craft skills decreases the value by 20%.
March 17, 2010 at 8:06 am
And I thought walmart had the market cornered on creepy smiley faces.
March 17, 2010 at 8:12 am
I turned my sister onto this site and she was absolutely LOST because she had no idea what an Etsy was, although, to her credit, she was able to identify all the items she saw as mostly worthless shit.
She doesn’t get out much. Even on The Online.
March 17, 2010 at 8:12 am
I was thinking a happy day supporter might be specialized undergarments for transvestites. I don’t understand what that has to do with the tackiest bucket in the world, though, so maybe I’m missing something.
March 17, 2010 at 8:17 am
Congrats, Raz! Hilarious and very original (recipe).
March 17, 2010 at 8:19 am
I hate it when people alter “vintage” items……painting and gluing on buttons is better suited for a coffee can!
March 17, 2010 at 8:51 am
My son pointed out to me that the words “fabulous” and “sap bucket” are actually enemies.
March 17, 2010 at 10:35 am
If the face had been glued on upside-down I would have bought it to wear over my head…because I would be so embarrassed that I spent money on that piece of crap.
March 17, 2010 at 10:43 am

March 17, 2010 at 12:01 pm
Sap buckets are usually retired when they leak so you can’t throw up or pee in this unless you want a right mess.
And there’s lead in the solder so you don’t want to collect much of anything in one of these old cans.
And mtopia, I’ve got stacks of them, in Ont. not Que.
Trying to de-hoard, come & get ‘em! Please!
March 17, 2010 at 5:35 pm
That is one sad smiley face.
OOPS I meant
March 17, 2010 at 5:48 pm
Artist forgot the slogan, “Have a nice day!”. Probably because the message really was “Have a crappy day!”
March 17, 2010 at 10:46 pm
I’ve seen hundreds of these around where I live lately (I live in maple country) and not once have I come to the conclusion that I should take one of these and glue buttons on one and make it hideous. I feel sad for the poor sap who buys this.
March 18, 2010 at 1:26 pm
It would be kind of cool if it didn’t have a bunch of crap glued to it.
March 29, 2010 at 8:31 pm
Yo dawg, we heard you like whimsicle fuckery, so we glued some garbage onto some garbage so you can say “what?” while you SAY WHAT.
