The motherlode has arrived. Game, set, match.

Was a little concerned, ordered in March but Amazon didn't take the 50.22 out of my account until the weekend.


On a more amusing note, I ordered 10 rolls a couple weeks earlier when the shelves first went bare as a hedge against having nothing.

Looks pretty much like 10 individually wrapped rolls of normal toilet paper.

This came yesterday, it fit the mailbox.

10 rolls of Chinese toilet paper @ 90 cents a roll shipped. 5 = 1 and they're an inch narrow.

I feel like I wasted a couple ounces of alcohol to clean and open it.

I need that special phone number to the Chinese consulate, maybe they can just exchange it with 10 rolls out of the case there in the janitor's locker.
Thanks.
Yep, that looks like your normal run.of the mill Chinese bath tissue. Just like here, there are varying degrees of quality. They are all skinny like that though. I think when they aren't eating bats, they eat way better than us and don't require much toilet paper. Lotto fiber. Are bats high in fiber? I don't know. Ever since watching The 3 Amigos I've actually always wanted to try campfire bats. In my head they taste like chicken wings. Also, most places in China are BYOB. Bring your own buttwipes.

I think some places just aren’t testing. In kings county they didn’t even test my wife’s grandpa. They just wrote it off as pneumonia. At least they could have tested him as to quarantine everybody he came into contact with. King’s County has always worried about their image and that’s why they aren’t testing. No test = no cases. Makes them look good. Like they’re doing something right when they’re actual just brushing it under the rug. It doesn’t make sense that every county around Kings is in the red and Kings is in the yellow. I hate Kings “shit kicker” county
The United States doesn't or didn't have any tests. We're getting some from South Korea though. It's amazing how the supposedly greatest nation in the world can't even have enough tests to test people that are sick. But we're number 1 in covid-19 cases and deaths.

Now they're mulling that it may have come from a Wuhan research lab studying coronaviruses and the wet market theory may be completely wrong.

So something to do with bats, but maybe not eating them.


I'm waiting for the 2022 made for TV movie myself.

In CA they have allowed us to have to go alcohol from restaurants! BevMo where I buy most of my alcohol has this wonderful order online and curbside pick up in about an hour or two. I think they figure we are easier to handle when we are drunk at home. They could be right.
Here in my part of Los Angeles county there is no ban on liquor anywhere. Biz as usual. I'm in North Hollywood,
what city/town are you in?

The high-fiber ones are batts

I've heard whispers of that for months now. Seems plausible. I'm not a scientist but I think most scientists have said that the mutations and shit etc etc all look natural in origin.

I would like to star in the made for TV movie as the part of "Johnny". The loveable do-gooder fighter pilot that refuses to drop the bomb on New York City.

I got a free carton of ciggies last week: Went to my regular tobacco shop Sat 4/4, owner told me I was lucky cuz tmo they had to close by order of county as non essential, dude was mega bummed. I suggested he call county on Monday and say they'll do curbside. "It's worth a shot". He did, I happened to cruise by on Fri 4/10 and noticed the open sign on. I pulled up and he gave me the free carton, and said thanks cuz he isn't closed now.

Cool.

But you really should quit smoking. I know it's none of my business but I said it anyway. :bigjoint:

The lack of tests leaves everyone in the dark. We don't have real statistics and we are playing catch up. It's sad. I'm sorry about the loss of your wife's grandpa. I'm glad you guys got over it. How's the little one doing?
