I Haz Imagination

Trash Bullet

Sometimes I look at an ordinary object and see something else. Another disguise or identity for the everyday object. This trash can I saw in a hospital lobby reminded me of a single slug shotgun shell. Yup, that's the first thing that came to mind. I even imagined what it would look like being fired from a, obviously, big shotgun. Or perhaps it's to be shot out of a huge cannon from a warship out in the middle of the ocean at a target thats hundreds of miles away. Or maybe its a super sized container of lipstick to a very tall, giantess of a lady! Could it also be the new droid for another Star Wars movie? A companion to R2D2? Naw, it has to be the new dwelling for Oscar the grouch who has finally moved out of his low income, section 8, style of housing program into the penthouse just like George Jefferson did on t.v. Then again, it could just be a new pretty trash can. I think my imagination is starting to get away from me again. Photograph- Taken/Owned by me, Plethos

@Plethos It sure does. Sort of reminds me of those pop out toy cans. What were you doing at the hospital?

it was the only one in the whole lobby. its bright red body andy gold top makes it stand out, very out of place, imo.

It's very lovely for a hospital. Maybe a bit too swanky.

almost as if the trash can should be in the lobby of a fancy hotel.

@Plethos Maybe it ran away from a posh hotel and prefers to live in the hospital. Or maybe it is usually in a posh hotel but is feeling poorly, so is actually just waiting to see a doctor!

i also thought bullet and r2d2. i think a red and gold trashcan is more suited to a five-star hotel.

Sadly, no I don't have that kind of creativity. Although, if I try to..I do..I am the person who n a group of people who have to come up with as many uses as you can find for a paperclip thinks of most of the things..Fish hook anyone?

@Plethos Yes, if it had a pointed nose it could be a satellite.

if it had fins on the sides, it would look like a mini bomb.
