COLLECTIBLE CHICKEN BUCKETS from KFC?!?!?!?!?! That's so ridiculously insane, absurd, and a classic example of how we love to accumulate junk, literally; that I have nothing else to add to that. Except I might add that the "collectibility" of the CARDBOARD chicken buckets is due to the fact that they have Nascar themes on them. Oh my beloved southland, of which I am a proud daughter. Land of Mark Twain, Eudora Welty, Zora Neale Hurston, B.B. King and thousands of other cultural icons and now the chicken bucket. I shake my head in puzzlement.

But it's got DALE JR.'s picture on it. It'll be worth a FORTUNE one day!

It is truly amazing. I followed NASCAR for several years (Go Bill Elliot!), so it's not the stock car part that bothers me -- it's the chicken bucket itself. Right?! I mean there is something wrong with the basic concept, right? A drinking cup, a coffee mug, a fannie pack -- one could attribute some sort of value, however fleeting, to those. But a reusable chicken bucket. Really? I don't know.
