oneofmany Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Understand, unfortunately no. Take it for what it's worth. Am not a member of CSIS, so am not privy to the case files resulting from the numerous interrogations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general, I think conspiracy theories are just one version of toilet paper hoarding - you feel more in control, as if you were actually doing something hatching the plots. It's actually far more sinister than most people imagine. There is no actual conspiracy, but they are all conspiring together to make us think there is a conspiracy when in fact there is none. That's how nefarious these people are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to go get more toilet paper. I developed a nice TP risotto recipe. Lotsa fiber. Edited March 23, 2020 by Kalle Rantaaho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigb Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 I'm ready. (Actually, if you look closely, you'd notice that there's no way this setup is in "MY" bathroom! Everyone knows those rolls were put on backwards!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mettelus Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 I must admit that I do find the TP aspect entertaining, since that is a domestic product (for the US) and one of the prime output products from the P&G site in Mehoopany, PA. They always had a stockpile of logs there so big you could see it from the road even when I was a kid, and the log trucks are always moving in/out of there. It is even more entertaining because I executed this "self-fulfilling prophecy" over 20 years ago. After getting underway, I told my watch section that the Chop (supply officer) was sweating bullets because he didn't bring enough TP along. Sure enough, everyone began stealing a roll and hiding it in their rack. Two days later the Chop says to me, "I don't get it, we just went through over 1/2 the TP inventory (3 months worth) in 2 days!" We were only going to be out for something like 3 weeks anyway, and had 6 months onboard. A couple days later the look on his face was priceless when he found out why it happened ? The self-fulfilling ones are easiest to pull off, they just need a good (fake) rumor, and *poof* they become real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Dickens Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 My wife and I are going to start a rumor that there is a shortage of dog poop and leaves & then just leave the gate open. The idiots will take it all off our hands.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayoubill Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share Posted March 24, 2020 This is something I want to pass on considering how our lives have taken such a change. This morning I watch watching a TV special and they were saying everyone needs to find something to restore a feeling of calm in their lives. To occupy our newly acquired free time by finishing things we've left undone. So I looked around the house and found some things I really need to finish. I have started with a bottle of Merlot. ok, I found a bottle of Chardonnay too. Took some lookng but founda bodle of Baileys! groovy som wum oh and the mainder of valiums . I hav a scrptins for that wow some choculotz yu have no idr how fablus i feel rite cow fis goz out to allk mi frenz atell thm I luvum a.,l 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheens Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) Bayoubill, any chance of taking over from D. Trump for a while....since you've learned about the virus ?

Tezza Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 The toilet paper thing is a bit of a joke...until you actually run out. We are down to our last roll now and the only 3 supermarkets close enough to us have none. They've had adverts on the TV saying we have warehouses packed with it, but getting it out to the supermarkets is the problem. I've asked twice when it is coming in and they say "next couple of days". but it hasn't arrived. I also have a half box of tissues for backup. After that, we will have to walk into the shower with our pants down and clean ourselves in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reminded me of a take on the old theme song from the western Branded..........Mr. Poop needs vocal lessons though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
