[04:45:35] <~relope> They run the Slurpee machine.
[04:45:41] <~vai> Does the blood come with crushed ice?

A burn bag is the informal name given to a container (usually a paper bag or some other waste receptacle) that holds sensitive or classified documents which are to be destroyed by fire or pulping after a certain period of time. The most common usage of burn bags is by government institutions, in the destruction of classified materials.
Example: note the burn-bag next to Obama in this recent photograph taken during the capture of Osama Bin Laden.
