Exploding Trashcan
Inspired by st3f's profile.

The usual computer trashcan icon (or "recycle bin" - how lame!) allows one to delete files, and "empty the trash." This is suitable for routine cleanup, but is not quite the soul-satisfying experience one longs for when deleting spam.

I want another pull-down option besides "empty." I want "detonate" or "explode!"

Optional ignition by graphically lighting a long fuse, to build the anticipation.

KABOOM! Catharsis! Aahhhh!

       Can you not already set up your computer to play a small video clip when you click on the trashcan icon?

       [21 Quest], I don't think so. Got a [link]?

       No, I don't. I know... not much... about such things. I just assumed that it would be possible. Sorry, I didn't bone it , did I?

       I was actually somewhat surprised to search and not find anything except a bunch of videos of the real thing.

       + I'd really like this as a full sized screen, too.
