Subject: RE: BS: Finish the quote... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 15 May 07 - 11:39 PM I haven't encountered the term "gross buckets," but it does seem to be out there. Doesn't help with your puzzle, though. |
Subject: RE: BS: Finish the quote... From: Ebbie Date: 15 May 07 - 11:35 PM Bill Clinton, perhaps? Might one find it in the kind of print media that proclaims "Baby Worn with a Wooden Leg'? And it may be American as you say but "is gross buckets" is no kind of phrase I have EVER heard. |
Subject: RE: BS: Finish the quote... From: Little Hawk Date: 15 May 07 - 11:08 PM It's from a common form of print media that is distributed all over the country, and it happened in the 80's. Or it might have been the early 90's. Not quite sure about the date. It involves someone named Bill, and he howls. That's all I'm giving you. Oh, and it originated in the USA, not Canada. |
Subject: RE: BS: Finish the quote... From: Ebbie Date: 15 May 07 - 11:04 PM "Bill is gross buckets, and he howls..." Little Hawk, I googled it and the only thing that popped up was this thread. So, is it from a movie? A play? A classic? Canadian? I ain't never heered it. |
Subject: RE: BS: Finish the quote... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 15 May 07 - 10:59 PM Trouble with this kind of thread is that the ends and the beginnings don't always get matched up in one place, and as it grows it gets more confusing. SRS |

Subject: RE: BS: Finish the quote... From: Little Hawk Date: 15 May 07 - 05:39 PM It's very simple. You post a partial quote. It should be a quote that has some place in our collective popular culture, not a quote so obscure that hardly anyone knows it. Someone else then completes the missing part of that quote. Capiche? I repeat: "Bill is gross buckets, and he howls the ____________!" Complete it, if you know the answer. |
