  3. Pejter says:

    Very nice and gory (by gory I don’t only mean the name, but also the juicy redness of the STOP sign – or should I say SOTP sign :-P ).

    Just wondering – what does the “E.” stand for?

  4. Beladan says:

    Enormous

  5. SmogMonster says:

    You are now entering vampire territory.

  6. Meow says:

    Lol’d

  7. Ninjaman says:

  8. ninja goddess says:

    knowing how to read a street name…you FAIL

  9. cooba says:

    my penis is very huge

  10. Jane St.Clair says:

    I think it’s a street name win, I would love to live on this street.

  11. BondFan4518 says:

    10th!

  12. Brandon says:

    I wonder if the railroad has anything to do with how the street got its name….

  13. Yaara says:

    The magic of Google says this street is in Holbrook, Arizona, and (the best part) an AA group meets there at noon on Mondays. The Bucket of Blood meeting is listed between the meetings at the Fellowship Hall and at the Calvary Baptist Church.

  14. chez says:

    Riley’s at it again…. looks like Huey and grandpa are going to have to go whoop his ass.

  15. Juasman says:

    Where is this street?

  16. jinx says:

    That street is in Arizona. Pretty much the only things on it are an AA meeting facility, a train station and a church.

    • Jane St.Clair says:

      There is a church on E. B. of B? Srsly? Oh I think even a commited agnostic like myself would attend THAT church.

      • Brandon says:

        How in “God’s Name” did that happen?

      • malcolm says:

        committed agnostic? are you committed to not understanding or trying to understand your beliefs…? or do you mean that you’re committed to a mental facility?

        • Brandon says:

          I think she’s committed to the concept that things of that nature cannot be proven and are, therefore, not worth investigating. Not trying to put words in your mouth, Jane, just my understanding of what you said.

          • goodnplenty says:

            I think that’s Taoism…

            • Brandon says:

              Definition of Taoism: The philosophical system evolved by Lao-tzu and Chuang-tzu, advocating a life of complete simplicity and naturalness and of noninterference with the course of natural events, in order to attain a happy existence in harmony with the Tao.

              Definition of Agnosticism: an intellectual doctrine or attitude affirming the uncertainty of all claims to ultimate knowledge.

              Definitely agnostic.

              • goodnplenty says:

                Oh you said “things of THAT nature.” I thought you wrote things of nature. One of the teachings of Taoism is that scientists spend too much time researching nature and not enough time enjoying it – therefore it’s not worth investigating.

                My bad…reading comprehension fail.

              • TMI Service says:

                Taoists can be considered agnostic, insofar as they understand that the ground and source of living being, the Tao, is something truly “too natural” for any words or made-up concepts to do it justice.
                .
                If you restrict “agnostic” to refer only to an intellectual assertion about what can and can’t be conceptually known, that’s one thing, and something an old school Taoist would be uninterested by.
                .
                If, however, you allow “agnostic” to apply to an attitude of openness for the matter-of-factly wonderful possibilities we can experience that are more simple and more original than mere intellectual concepts, that’s “Taoist.”

                • Brandon says:

                  My understanding of agnosticism is that it is, in fact, an intellectual stance. If I were to allow it to apply to an attitude, you would be correct in your arguement, but I cannot think of a practical way to apply this according to my understanding of the word. So, in summation, I hold to my original statement.

                  • TMI Service says:

                    “An intellectual stance” … “allowing it to apply” … “argument” … “[the] understanding of the word” — you’re speaking in rational, intellective, conceptual terms here. And within that form of discourse, what you’re saying is understandable.
                    .
                    However, everything ever turns on the “how” — everything depends, if you will, on the spirit of something.
                    .
                    Human spirituality isn’t really about definitions of words; it’s not about arguments over opinions. It’s about lived experiences. And those experiences are ultimately before words — they are more akin to apprehensions of beauty than being about the logic of definitions.
                    .
                    My advice would very much be not to hold to definitions, but to use our words more as “serious play” … and to be much more empirical, practical, experiential, artistic, open and humble.
                    .
                    The potential for “agnosticism” to be a thing both open-minded and open-hearted is what I gesture towards.

                    • goodnplenty81 says:

                      *sigh* :)

                    • coyote says:

                      My head hurts. Quit making me think! That’s not what I came here for.

                    • South of the Border says:

                      religio-speak fail…

                      Thy soul may be healed at the E. BoB church.

                    • blubber says:

                      i think we can all impugn each other’s vulgar WORDS as inadequate “representations” of “things” that don’t do “justice” to the “ineffable reality”

                      but that’s not really helpful

                    • Brandon says:

                      Every word you typed in to that little bubble has a definition and, as a result, what you typed makes sense. No matter how much stock you place in things that cannot be conveyed in a language or phrase, anything you try to communicate(esspecially in text such as this) your only option is to rely on the definitions of the words you use. If you decide that you don’t want a word to mean what it is widely recognized to mean, and that it should mean something else, this just causes confusion. I can understand that principles that you convey and your point that most people cannot be labled as 100% “anything”… including agnostic or anything else. However, I would disagree with tampering with the clearly defined meaning of a word to get your point accross. There are plenty of words out there. You don’t need to change any of the meanings. :)

                • goodnplenty81 says:

                  I consider myself both. Well, I don’t call myself a “Taoist”, but I will say that I follow the teachings of Taoism.

          • Jane St.Clair says:

            Your words (Yeah) in my mouth party party (Yeah). There’s a party in my tummy (so yummy, so yummy yummy)…

            I couldn’t have said it better myself (and didn’t apparently), thank you.

        • Jane St.Clair says:

          I am commited to you f*king yourself, how about that troll?

  17. Cute ako says:

    this is definitely a street win. it keeps the theives and burglars out :)

  18. joe says:

    yeah, freddy krueger lives there

  19. Brahm says:

    Arr, it’s a pirate street name!

  20. Martinez says:

    Well at least you gotta stop when you cross the bucket.

  21. Tracer says:

    Well he walked through the rain, and he walked through the mud,
    ’till he came to a place called the Bucket of Blood.

  22. proteus says:

    yes well, what he said is not what you heard and what you heard is not what he meant. THEY BE STEALIN’ MUH BUCKET! ( of blood)

  23. proteus says:

    is this located anywhere near oversized menstruating blvd?

  24. oh_My_Dog says:

    What I want to know is, what’s the cross street? Trough of Entrails?

    Although I’d like to live at the corner of Torture and Dismemberment.

  25. USSR says:

    Bucket of Blood St, Holbrook, Navajo, Arizona 86025, United States

  26. proteus says:

    just down the street from Nazi Experimentation Lab ct, two streets over from Brain Matter on Hood of Car Lane and within comfortable walking distance from of Aborted Fetus in Mason Jar Ave. its not the friendliest of neighborhoods. i had to move to the good side of town. you know, just past the 7-11 by Kitten Finds Iraqi IED Place.

  27. jdmasters says:

    Is this a street for pirates only?

  28. Matt says:

    That is the most metal thing I have read all day.

    • thepowerofblue says:

      I’m pretty sure Danzig lives on this street. Oh, and he wants to know where that robotic ghost is…the robotic ghost was supposed to be hooking him up with the elf blood.

  29. proteus says:

    no but your mom is…. filthy wench

  30. #N/A says:

    There is a restaurant/bar in Kentucky or Kansas or Arkansas or one of those non-coastal U.S. states that I am not curious about at all that is called “Bucket of Blood Saloon” or something like that. I found a t-shirt from there at a thrift store in Texas. I don’t know where that shirt is now, but I would not be surprised if that restaurant place was so awesome, or popular, or had to have a street paved specifically for its location, that the street was named after it. That kind of stuff does happen.

    • Ashley says:

      Youre one of the neutral Gray people from Futurama arent you? “We dont have strong feelings about this one way or another.”

    • Rex Bovee says:

      The Bucket of Blood Saloon is in Virginia City, Nevada, in the hills southeast of Reno. It village is a colorful little tourist trap that originated at the site of the Comstock Lode silver bonanza and is where Sam Clemens perfects his transformation into Mark Twain. Virginia Citizens prize their eccentricity and mark it with annual events such as Outhouse Races (The finish-line ribbon comes on perforated rolls!) and Testicle Festical, sort of like a chili cook-off but featuring Ricky Mountain Oysters. If you ever get close to the Reno/Tahoe area, a trip to Virginia City is like a painless trip into an Alternate, if tourist-trappy, reality.

  31. Seamus says:

    THIS is what happens when you let the local high school have a “Name our street” contest.

  32. dolt says:

    ha a street in the town i went on holiday to had a street signposted “the street with no name”

  33. CC says:

    I might have to pass on the rice crispy treats at that block party.

  34. cris says:

    its actually named after a bar on the same street. look for it theres tons of history about it. also search stagger lee. he was some crazy pimp that killed a bartender there or something. this is not a fail but a complete triumph

  35. raelalt says:

    This would have been much more appropriate if it had been posted on Sept 19.

  36. MEH. says:

  38. david says:

    that’s an excellent name for a street.

    • Pumpkiny says:

      That’s an excellent name for an emo haven.
      It must be every emo kid’s dream to reply with “666 E. Bucket of Blood” when asked their address.
      There must be a 50 yr old waiting list to live on that street.

      • Amy says:

        That’s unfortunate, but I believe it.

        I went to college in a hippie town where my friend lived on 420 High St. No joke. She didn’t really think it’d be an issue until April rolled around and she had to chase off every teenage pothead twat off her stoop with a broom.

        • david says:

          that sounds awesome. i have so many questions. did she wear an apron? did she ever throw a shoe at one of them? did a pothead ever steal a pie she had cooling on her window sill? did one ever get into her house, sending her into hysterics?

    Oh that’s right by the dinosaurs! http://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/15815

  41. Boumama says:

    Yeah, It’s Holbrook. It’s about a half hour or 45 mins from where I live, depending how you drive.

  42. Don says:

    Sorry. Street name WIN.

  43. Ham says:

    How is this Fail? This street sign is made of win.

  44. dude!

    i so wanna live on this street!

    are my neighboors dracula and the cullen coven?!

  45. MaxwellEdison says:

    Apparently the street was named after the exploits of a homicidal walrus, after the internet went one bucket joke too far. . .

  46. Dave Moyer says:

    Surprisingly, I’ve actually driven by this street, also marveling at the name, wondering what the heck these people were thinking. It’s in Holbrook, Arizona.

  47. brian Nesbitt says:

    why is it when i type this street name into google maps it brings up ads for lawyers? no, seriously.

  48. Letha says:

    Too funny!
    “How do you get to Bucket of Blood Street?”
    “You take Purple Heart Trail.”

    geez louise. that’s awesome.

  49. Johnny-the-7 says:

    I think that street is in Ravenholm. We don’t go to Ravenholm o_o.

  50. LJ says:

    Does the Lolrus know that his bucket’s been found?

    • the hypnotoad says:

      I think the question is, now that the lolrus’ bucket has been found and filled with blood, does he want it back?

  51. the hypnotoad says:

    The town council decided, “Hmm… Lets have no one ever come near out town again!” E BOB st was a test run. Seeing some success, the follwing streets shall be renamed. “Cherry lane” will now be know as “North Shotglass of spit”. “First Street” will be “South Tablespoon of Bile” and finally, “Main Street” in the popular downtown area will henceforth known as “West Tophat of Spooge Blvd”

    urban planning fail

  52. skrewpu says:

    i want to steal this sign very badly.
    too bad i’m on the opposite side of the world.
    failing that, an explanation & history of the sign’s inception’d be good.

  53. MrLawls says:

    lolrus’s revenge

  54. UtMan says:

    Hey a street in Jersey is called Shades Of Death Road.
    Nice neighborhood Fail, or you can just say Jersey and it’s the same thing.

    So just Jersey.

  55. Rachel says:

    OMG I”VE BEEN THERE!!! I took a picture of it! (though it didn’t turn out that good, it’s too fuzzy to see…>.< *fail*:P) The “e” stands for “east” because the street that it is opposite of (it’s on an intersection) is just “Bucket of Blood ST.” I kid you not. It’s in Albequerque, New Mexico!

  56. James says:

    It’s named for the famous Bucket of Blood Saloon in Virginia City, NV. Virginia City is a great, little western town that has an old cemetery worth checking out and a few other cool things to do.
