Bucket Quotations

There's nothing better for kids than a bucket and shovel at the beach. I grew up across the marsh from The Citadel. We loved buying chicken necks at the Piggly Wiggly, tying them to a string on a stick and catching blue crabs.

From pink water bottles for breast cancer to dumping a bucket of ice water on your head for neuromuscular conditions, it seems we're bombarded by requests to be 'aware' of one thing or another.

When your neighbour's house is on fire, you should help with a bucket of water.

When I was a child, my father used to take me for walks, often along a river or by the sea.

Once I saw a man take a small fish out of a bucket and impale it, still wriggling, on an empty hook to use as bait.

Acting for the Indian audience is surely on my bucket list; it may take some time, though.

The 2013 Boston Marathon was, for me, a milestone. A bucket list event that was supposed to be my last marathon until my next big milestone, turning 50. But I couldn't leave marathoning on a memory like that, so I am running this year to honor everyone in the running community and those unsung heroes from April 15, 2013.

We started going to the bucket and Banks got hot. We pushed the ball up court and attacked. Martin's 3 was big at the half. They run a style that we like, and our experience was a factor in making that work for us.

We regained the lead and regained the momentum and we had some pretty good looks. Even with the lead at 23-22, we had some good looks. We just couldn't get it to fall. You kind of had a sense that if we could ever get up three or four we'd be in really good shape. But, we just couldn't get that next bucket in.

We're being approached by four parties to do Hurricane Katrina relief. If we could get the government to commit to a reasonable number of buildings, like 5,000, which is a drop in the bucket as to what they need, then we would build a plant (in the storm-affected area) at our own expense, and we would hire and train people from Louisiana and Mississippi to operate it.

We knew who the scorers were, but the other players contributed greatly, which is a huge plus for them. We didn't rebound as well as we could. It was a matter of us not attacking the bucket on a shot. It's something we have to commit to improving.

We were trying to get two people on him as quickly as possible. If you get a hand in his face when he's trying to shoot he's not quite as effective. I thought we did a nice job of keeping him away from the bucket and at his size that's not easy to do.

We've seen estimates of how much the GPS tracking technology will cost Virginia. The number that I've seen is $36 million a year. For a drop in the bucket compared to that, the state can do so much more to prevent these kinds of things from happening.

We needed a bucket desperately at that time.

When you can't put the ball in the bucket you are going to have problems. It's hard to get excited on the defensive end when you can't score and then you have to continually fight back and we did that all season.

I'd love to see Marv back in the organization, back in Buffalo in any capacity. I don't know if it's a realistic chance or not, but yes, certainly, Marv is as sharp as anybody and I think he'd help the club. He was a great coach, he's smart, he relates to people well, he's a great communicator, he has a bucket load of experience.

If it wasn't totally out of control before, it certainly is now. There are many who have been seriously attacked. There is also a very poor population who may come in and want even a bowl or a plastic mat or bucket to help improve their lives.

There aren't a whole lot of things I want out of life. My bucket list is extremely short: Achieve the success in the industry I want, and get married. If I achieve both of those, I can die completely stoked. I don't need anything else.

He's playing like an animal. He's capable of scoring a bucket any time he wants. He's a tremendous athlete. It's a huge help - a confidence builder - knowing he's there whenever we need him.

I agree with him 100 percent. Watching film everybody is making minor mistakes and I just think being half a step earlier, or being one step over the left or one step over to the right could change the whole outlook of the play as far as the other team getting an easy bucket or a wide open look.

It boils down to how well they shot the ball. If they don't shoot the ball that well, we could win that game. The McConnell kid was lights-out tonight. We knew he was good, but every time they needed a bucket late, they came up with a bucket.

I thought we gave up too many lay-ups and didn't protect the bucket very well. On a positive note, we fought back to get back in the game and had a chance to win.

I thought our guys left it out on the floor. I'm very proud of the way they played. A bucket here or a bucket there and we're still playing.

'Star Wars' is on my bucket list. Even if it's just a small walk on, I don't care.

I was thinking attack the rim, get a bucket and to foul a bad free throw shooter and play by possession. I felt I got fouled, it was a good no-call. You can't call a foul in that situation.

I was fueling a dozer, and the loader operator swung the bucket around and landed the bucket on top of the dozer. It broke the fuel line, and fuel was all over.

That would certainly go a long way to helping the company. Labor costs are the biggest bucket they can attack. The government might be more willing to help with this level of cuts. Even with DIP financing, they're going to face a liquidity problem. They could use those loan guarantees.

That would certainly go a long way to helping the company, ... Labor costs are the biggest bucket they can attack. The government might be more willing to help with this level of cuts. Even with DIP financing, they're going to face a liquidity problem. They could use those loan guarantees.

That would be kind of nice (to get to .500). I don't think anyone would remember the game got us to .500 ... it's still the Bucket Game and it's going to stand out as the Bucket Game.

That was vintage Coors Field. Last bucket wins.

That was big, to get that bucket after they pulled to within one.

Microsoft is a target because it has a huge bucket of money so I'm a little worried about litigation risk. What if Microsoft was held accountable for the costs associated with damage from hackers?

We just couldn't get that bucket and we couldn't get that one stop we needed to get over the hump.

We just couldn't buy a bucket and do the things we wanted to do. Their size intimidated us a little bit. It seemed like when we'd score they'd have an answer for us coming back.

We were 6-for-15 (40 percent) from the line. That's only counting the front end of one-and-ones. When you miss the front end, that's really missing two free throws. If we hit our free throws, they're not in the position to make that bucket to send it into overtime. In overtime it came down to not doing the little things. We missed free throws and had careless turnovers.

We couldn't make a bucket when we needed a bucket. We pressed them and they turned the ball over which is exactly what we wanted. In the last quarter, we couldn't scored when we needed to. I'm really disappointed in how we played.

We had a lot of structural damage and broken poles, and when you're in a bucket 35 feet in the air and it's windy, repairs take longer than under ideal conditions.

We couldn't buy a bucket in that third quarter, which changed the way we had to play them. Also, we talked all week about not leaving Snyder open, but any time we had a breakdown, they found him and he hit the shots.

We had our chances. We had a couple of stops, but we just couldn't get a bucket when we needed it.

We needed to make a couple more shots early on. A bucket here or there, who knows, it might have been different.

We needed to get a bucket there. We were trying to get Alex some touches and Darius stepped up. It was good to see Darius, as a senior should, go out and make a play for us.

We get in those little funks and I think that it is our inexperience. We get very comfortable and the other night, we struggled to score. Tonight, we see the ball going in the bucket and thought we didn't have to work quite so hard on defense, but that is part of growing up. The kids played hard and always play hard and that is all I can ask of them.

We came out with a lot of intensity from the get-go. In the first half, the rim kind of felt like a big bucket from 3-land, and I kind of got in a groove and just kind of fed off of that.

We led 45-42 and stole the ball, but put up an ill-advised shot. They came down and hit a three to tie it. Then we got fouled and missed the front end of a one-and-one and they hit a bucket for the lead. After that, we didn't get a shot off.

The really good teams, the way they separate themselves is they play well on the road. I'm really happy with our guys, because we answered a lot of different challenges tonight. When we needed a stop, we got one. If we needed a turnover, we got one. When we needed a bucket ... I liked the way we responded to all the things thrown at us.

We were walking a fine line, making it a sort of challenge for audiences to figure out what's going on without clues except what you're listening to, but at the same time, we wanted to make sure we didn't leave the audience completely at sea. I'm still not sure which bucket we finally tipped it into.

Entertainer of the Year, to me, there's never been any question that that's one on my bucket list that I want. I'm not going to sit here and lie to you. If there's one that I ever could get - I would trade all the rest of them in for that one.

Driving a powerboat is a bit like having one person throw a bucket of water over you while another hits you with a baseball bat.

The tough thing about it is we generally don't let up. I think our defensive pressure starts to take a toll after awhile and they start to struggle for each and every bucket. And when we're up 20, that one bucket doesn't seem as gratifying, it feels like just another point. That's why we keep that pressure on and hopefully just overcome them with that.

The Texas Windstorm Insurance Association is considerably under funded in the event a major hurricane makes landfall in Galveston or Corpus Christi. Last year TWIA had a $130 million deficit as a result of losses caused by Hurricane Rita and that would be a drop in bucket had the storm hit Galveston.

SALAMANDER, n. Originally a reptile inhabiting fire; later, an anthropomorphous immortal, but still a pyrophile. Salamanders are now believed to be extinct, the last one of which we have an account having been seen in Carcassonne by the Abbe Belloc, who exorcised it with a bucket of holy water.

This is the third year we've done it. The first year we did this we had a five-gallon bucket full of dead mosquitoes. Last year wasn't as successful, but it was still a hit.

They're not too big on Thanksgiving up there. Our English tour manager, not really being familiar with the feast, did a nice thing and booked a private room for us to be served an American Thanksgiving. But they were these French-sized courses. It wasn't a bucket of mashed potatoes, the giant bird and piles of food. Instead it was like, 'And now, we present.. the pumpkin soup! Voila!' It was us and our crew so it was a little stiff.

It might have rushed our shots on offense to try to force a bucket and score.
