In the Apocalypse we'll make sure we can wipe our ass

Toilet paper sold out again
at the store, paper towels too.
Employees hustling to restock
as we're busy shitting ourselves.
Everything looked good on paper,
business as usual, two weeks ago.

Re: "Everything looked good on paper, business as usual, two weeks ago."

Ain't that the truth! I heard on evening news tonight about home delivery for pizza. One pizza joint is now including toilet paper delivered to your home. No mention of cost, of course.

It won't be long before the major burger pushers start doing the same thing, I reckon. America hates to lose a dollar to someone else.

Nuts. Just nuts... As recently as Friday before last, people asked if I had "any plans for the weekend." Now the only "plan" is that we're told to not have plans. Just stay home. Survive. (And panic shop, of course.) Unbelievable.

I wonder if you can get guns and ammo with your pizza

there is one bright spot in the economy, as of last week the liquor stores were still well-stocked

My sister says she & Curt are going to install one before their TP runs out. I'm pretty well stocked for the moment, but should probably start researching them myself.

Made an unplanned trip to Walmart yesterday - stuck a toe through my fitted sheet, and had no replacement on hand. While there, I bought a new electric pencil sharpener, as my old one's teeth had pretty much worn away. I told the cashier that I've heard they were expected to be the next bug shortage. I'd love to see that rumor get some traction - I think it'd be hysterical to watch electric pencil sharpeners fly off the shelves into the hoarders' greedy little hands.

Nuts. Just nuts...

I got skid marks on my BVD's
I don't lose much sleep.
I hardly use any toilet paper even if I am full of prunes


saw a bit about two sisters over a hundred years and the times they had going through all those changes. They offered some advice.

When I live from hand to hand

Nude in the marketplace I stand.

When I stand and am not sold

I build a fire against the cold.

When the cold does not destroy

I leap from ambush on my joy. …

That would work. Get creative.
