What's really fun is to get a friend to pull you around while you're in there with the lid on. It needs to have wheels for that to work well. There's nothing quite like the feeling of randomly popping out of a trash can and surprising every Walmart-goer in the aisle.
On my trash can to-do list:
sing vocal trance while being carted around in a trashcan
fit two people in a trash can
have a friend try to buy the trash can with me in it
The following is a really stupid and dangerous idea. I don't recommend this to anyone. I've done it before and I'm lucky that nothing horribly bad happened. Don't blame me if you try it and break your neck or get run over.
If you're feeling really adventurous, you can try field sledding with a heavy-duty trash can lid. All you need is an empty grassy field, a vehicle, a length of rope, and a trash can lid. (A helmet might not be a bad idea either.) The idea really explains itself. I haven't seen anyone get seriously injured yet. Just make sure the rope is at least 15 meters long. Your top speed (in km/h) should be equal to the length of the rope. Make sure the driver knows not to use the brakes while towing a person. All they're allowed to do is accelerate and coast. Corner braking is alright, but straight-line braking would be disastrous for the person in tow. To increase recklessness (and fun) use a pickup as the vehicle and have everyone ride in the bed while they wait for their turn being towed.
While I've seen it work with a trashcan lid, it works much better with a plastic toboggan. A trashcan lid only survives a few rides before breaking-up from the stress.
I'll bet you had no idea anyone else on here had anything to say about trash cans. :wink.gif:

This enlightening post brought to you courtesy of a serious overabundance of free time.
I rode my trash can down the hill by my house once. Fun stuff.
It had four wheels on it, two of which were on the rim for some reason. So I rode the whole way down face-first.
I almost got run over by a truck, too. Totaly worth it.
I totally dig the ribbed metal trashity cans with the riveted metal band on the top for a handle. But also the 20 gallon drum which I assume is made of painted steel is also a good 'bin'
Ah, hahaha. Bin is such a funny word for us Yankees.
my favorite is the rubbermaid roundbrute but its not the model im posing in for my fans in the picture
Peri, I'm going to have to ask you something that's been nagging at the back of my mind for a long time...
Are you Justin Bieber?

Hiding in a trash can to escape your ravenous, music impaired fans?

Jump in, maggots need company too and there's 25% of space left! :3
You heard that, green and red.
