Not wanting to burst your bubble but I have an extensive list of my buckets and have had it since the early 1950s.

Except in computing .. when it cropped up in hashing algorithms.
1965, Mary Elizabeth Stevens, Automatic Indexing: A State-of-the-Art Report,Washington, DC: Government Printing Office, page 170:
Using a bucket list structure [...], the program sorts each incoming word serially, constructing a list within each of 256 buckets for good words of a given alphabetic range

Somewhat different meaning though.

I have always wanted to slap some stranger in the face with a huge dead fish. Kind of an odd thing to have on one's bucket list!! :-)

Who's the comic who said, "I have a list of things I never want to do again. And it rhymes with 'bucket list', I'll tell you that."

You said it.
I'd bet you wouldn't say that to your face though.
