I like the smaller one. It could almost pass for an ice bucket. I
have thought of getting one of these, BUT I hate to give up more
counter space, and they kinda look like hell if there's a liner ruffle
in view. I'd rather wash the thing out than have that liner in view.
Agh.

Went to a funeral parlor once - the jerks had a small plastic
wastebasket with a white bag liner hanging over the edges - in the
main receiving room - and to top it off, a computer generated sign
with a big arrow pointing down to the basket with the word TRASH - as
if anyone not from Mars wouldn't know. TACKEEE. I vowed I'd never go
there when I need such services. The basket was bad enough, but that
SIGN.
