"I've Got a Hole in My Bucket"

[sirhugs]

"I've got a hole in my bucket."

Why is this sitting in my collecion of "opening lines in search of a plot?"

Is it because every time i see a hole in another sock, i wonder whether, given my health, if i purchase a new pair, they might out live me? too morbid. but i remember the line resurfacing in that context.

Maybe finding a better context for a Story Idea would drive the morbid context away.

So actual bucket: I’m thinking Popcorn bucket. Slow night at the theater or maybe employees are cleaning up and decide to goof off. They find a discarded popcorn bucket some one tried to poke a hole in but failed have a laugh then decide to fill it with the left over popcorn. It’s two girls and one guy and they have guy hold the popcorn bucket. But one of the girls hands him a pocket knife and tells him to do what he wants with it.

Or maybe they just get curious about it (like would his cock taste like popcorn, would the salt bug him?) and they convince guy to let them experiment on him.

2. Metaphorical bucket. This would be better for that as an opening line. Main character can never be satisfied so they start exploring more and more extreme sex acts to fill their metaphorical bucket

Didn't Scary Movie have a popcorn dick scene?

This just reminds me of:

If the core part of the story is that a character is dying. The story could be centred around someone who has decided to find dying people and give them a hell of send off.

"I've got a hole in my bucket."

The other survivors stopped bailing water from the rapidly sinking dinghy. With dread, they checked their own buckets; and now it was not just the boat that was sinking, but their stomachs, too.

None of the buckets had bottoms.

The captain chucked his worthless bucket at the first mate. "Damn it, Franklin, I told you not to convert ALL the buckets to basketball hoops!"

I like the idea that it took them a while to realize there was a basketball sized hole in there buckets
