Burning question: what kind of handbasket do you go to hell in?

[dixiegrrrrl]

"going to hell in a handbasket" is a phrase I grew up with.
But no one said what the basket was like!
Anyone???

1. A bucket for me

[Sekhmets Daughter]

2. Hells Handbasket! I always figured I'd slide in on a bobsled myself!

3. This could get complicated.

I think it depends on where you live.

If you live in a crafty/touristy area - you get a nice hand woven basket. But it gonna cost you some $$.
Live near a bunch of homes with large vegetable gardens - harvest type basket.
Garage sale aficionado - old timey laundry basket.
If you have some kids, you're probably exhausted and will just strap a couple of old easter baskets to your feet.
Don't give a crap how you get there - plastic laundry basket.


.... and yes, I do have too much time on my hands.

4. All I know is that

it appears to have a nitrous bottle hooked to it.

5. Should be big enough

10. ahhh..the "group rate" to hell....

I won't miss my friends then.

6. "Helena Handbasket" was a character in a college musical I helped write.

I was always rather proud of her.

7. Fire Proof...

You want to survive the plummet since so many of your friends will be there waiting for you...also it would be nice if it came with wi-fi(it might be a long trip down and a place for snacks that don't react to extreme heat.

8. This kind???

9. Green and yellow

Don't you remember that rhyme?

A-tisket a-tasket
A green and yellow basket
I danced with the devil and you can bet I don't regret it
Shit, fuck and dammit
Shit, fuck and dammit
The ride to hell has been a thrill and I'd personally recommend it.

11. If I had said the F word back then

I WOULD have needed a basket for hell!
Nope, never learned that poem.

12. I use to think....

I would want one of those French rush baskets with the leather handles. I have since decided that the women in Ghana market the most bodacious, tightly woven hand, colorful, hand baskets. I want to go to hell in style.

13. Now THERE's a marketing idea:

Baskets to go to hell in.

14. For those headed in that direction . . .
