Two peas in a pod, yes. But, bucket? A bucket seems like overkill for just two peas. You could carry two peas in your hand quite easily, I believe.
Why was it called that, anyway? Is this a phrase somewhere? Like, Wisconsin, perhaps?

I have been to Wisconsin three times in the past week, and I haven't heard that phrase uttered by the locals. LOL
Maybe they had a graphic they found and wanted to use? Who the heck knows...

Well, the phrase has yet to make it's debut on Urban Dictionary, but because of my attempt at research, I now know what a two peckered billy-goat is. link |

Lived in Wisconsin all my life and had never heard that phrase. I always thought it must be an inside joke kind of thing.

Is this a phrase somewhere? Like, Wisconsin, perhaps? Ya, well...unless those two peas were full of nuthn' but drama. Then you'd definately need a bucket if, for no other, to contain all the bullshit.  |

There was some story about how K&J met and how 2Peas became. I cannot for the life of me remember the the story, but I don't really care enough to remember. :-P

I'm pretty sure I remember reading a post from the wife (Kristina?) many years ago and she said it was their own little joke from when she and her husband first met that they were "as alike as two peas in a bucket", by which I think she meant, they weren't alike at all.
Then when they decided to open a business it seemed natural to call it that.
Someone else must remember that?

I think I remember hearing something along those lines way, way back when I first found my way there via the digi board (before the mass exodus and formation of DSP)

I'd never heard it before I stumbled onto those boards and haven't heard it since except in reference to the bucket.

Yes, you're right - it was an inside joke with them about how they met. There used to be a link to their story on the home page about how the company came to be named.

I just looked it up using the way back website. Here is the answer...
For those of you that wonder about the name, here's some insight into our world. It all started with Raiders of the Lost Ark. Kristina and I liked the crazy French accent of Dr. Rene Belloq when he said to Indiana Jones, 'You and I are very much alike.' Well, Kristina and I are very much alike, and so we started saying it -- often! At some point we added 'We are like Two Peas in a Bucket' to the end of the phrase and it stuck for the last eight years or so. When we were trying to find a name for our company, one that was meaningful to us, it seemed perfect! More than you wanted to know, right?

It always makes me think of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, and what the Lady Chablis would say..."Two tears (peas) in a bucket. Motherfuck it."

BTW...made me sad looking through all the different board layouts. I also remember how much we hated each one when they rolled out.

I remember it had to do with a quote from Indiana Jones, but they used a different version of it and it was their little inside joke. I believe it was between Sallah & Indie. We are two peas... Yep that's how I remember it.  Ok I see I was close but way off after seeing Laurie's post..lol. |

It has always reminded me of my dad, who made a habit of accidentally and sometimes purposely messing up popular sayings or phrases.
For instance, if he was to leave us home alone, he'd tell us to "Hold down the fork." instead of holding down the fort.
And at one time he used to call my mom & I "two peas in a jar". Once I even jokingly made a little canning jar with 2 dried peas in it due to that mangled saying.
So 2 peas in a bucket always reminded me of Dad & his "2 peas in a jar".

I remember that story... But, I'm still not sure how they came up with bucket. But, it probably doesn't actually matter that much. |

2009 is that all? I thought it was way longer than that.
Gah...must be me getting old and memory fading!

my hubby was well aware of my fondness to the two peas in a bucket board and when I told him it has closed down
he replied, "Well, it's because they did not have enough peas in their bucket"............I had to laugh, so glad
we have this place to land.

No, I'd never heard of it, and still haven't, in reference to anything other than the pod. I remember thinking it was such a cool, off the wall name.
