Two-Block Radius Honey Buckets Flying Through the Air

Posted by Christopher Frizzelle on Fri, Sep 25, 2009 at 1:29 PM

In case you're walking through Cal Anderson Park today: HEADS UP! That crane was just seen lifting two Honey Buckets very, very, very high into the air and putting them down in a new location. (This cell phone camera isn't so good at detail. Those are two Honey Buckets dangling there above the tennis courts.)

(A brief search on YouTube for that Police Academy scene involving Mahoney, a Honey Bucket, and a stadium full of people has turned up empty—anyone?)

I think I'm going to start getting all my news from Slog posts tagged with Two-Block Radius.

I've seen this before, and always assumed that's how they haze the new workers.

Honeybucket is one of my favorite Washington colloquialisms.

Let us hope they were unoccupied.

you cant even get your fat ass off the chair to get news, nor can your fat sausage fingers google MAHONEY which had already been pointed out several times.

typical STRANGER HACK FAIL.

Oh sorry: Mahoney. I didn't realize @1 was correcting me. I thought that was just a reference from Police Academy. (Isn't it? Are they always hollering his name?) The typo has been fixed, freak @8.

@9: You corrected for an incorrect reference and got hit with another missed reference, C'MON FRIZZELLE, YOU'RE GIVING THAT BEARD A BAD NAME.

Have you never been near a construction site before? This is a daily occurrence. The site crane moves all the honey buckets to the street so they can be emptied and maintained.

What's next, a story about bars charging cover?
