my husband brought home 120 rolls of toilet paper yesterday

[fizzgig]

good stuff, too. and he spent exactly zero dollars.

i'm not going to have to buy toilet paper for a year.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. Zero dollars, my dear fizzgig???

Must have been one hell of a coupon!

This might border on TMI........

[fizzgig]

2. he got it off a job

he works for a company that hauls junk and they're allowed to pick over the haul. this just happened to be what he got yesterday.

i'm still waiting for my bread maker, dammit.

[pinboy3niner]

4. Whew! What a relief to hear he didn't rip off 120 fast food restaurants!

We know he loves you, but that might be going a tad over the top.

[fizzgig]

5. he nabbed a plate from a coffee shop for me once

it's a cute plate with strawberries on it. i offhandedly mentioned i would like it, so he stuck it in the back of his pants and walked out with it. he may or may not have consumed a fair amount of jack daniels earlier in the evening.

[pinboy3niner]

7. There was a time when you didn't have to steal plates from restaurants

You could get lovely wheat pattern dinnerware from boxes of Duz detergent back in the day. And it went perfectly with our jelly jar glassware!

[Art_from_Ark]

13. We bought Dash detergent

because we wanted our washing machine to be 10 feet tall

[pinboy3niner]

16. LOL!

I remember when banks gave out toasters. And when our local bank gave out goldfish as a promotion. Can you imagine how many goldfish died just to serve one bank's interests? I ended up having to flush mine.

[dixiegrrrrl]

20. And oatmeal boxes had dishes, I think.

I DO remember dishes from detergent....
we talking the early 50's, I think????

Ohhh..here...found a pic of the boxes and the dishes.

47. Those are really pretty, a lot like Fiestaware.

We used to use my grandmother's old Fiestaware dishes for every day until my mother learned they might be valuable since they were originals.

[alphafemale]

29. HA! Just like Roc!

Loved that show. Their kitchen set didn't match.

[TexasTowelie]

3. Wunderful mews!

Teh kat ovrlordz awate teh buildin uv a TP kastel tu b shrededed n mewtilated n tiem fur teh holidaiz seesun.

[fizzgig]

6. teh ovrlorz do not care for it

the (declawed*) dim one attacks the shit out of the door jambs and the (formerly) fat one loves her scratching posts.

*she came to her previous hoomin that way

[Solly Mack]

8. Now that's some cool swag.

[pinboy3niner]

9. Take any zombie apocalypse movie and that is always one of the survivors' priorities

I hope Mr. fizzgig isn't having delusions about a zombie apocalypse...

[Solly Mack]

10. Well, you just never know. :)

[hedgehog]

18. LOL I was thinking the same thing.

[fizzgig]

23. that's about the only preparation we've done for the zombie apocalypse

gotta have priorities

[pinboy3niner]

48. In my day, the Army included TP with our C-Rations

At a recent display of memorabilia one woman visitor commented, "They even gave you napkins!"

[fizzgig]

22. he gets me some pretty neat stuff

but this is the most useful haul he's gotten.

[Solly Mack]

34. I would have loved getting TP.

There is no such thing as too much toilet paper.

[fizzgig]

35. i always tease my dad for hoarding toilet paper

he never has fewer than 75-100 rolls in the house.

[Solly Mack]

36. Oh...better not tell you how bad it is at my house then. :)

[fizzgig]

37. ha!

dad's a firm believer in not running out of things like tp, paper towels, cat litter, sponges and coffee, so sometimes i go "shopping" at his house.

[Solly Mack]

38. lol! Bet he loves it! Gives him the chance to talk about how important it is to have those things

handy.

I also have lots of paper towels on hand.

[fizzgig]

39. oh, i definitely get a mini lecture

i buy the six packs of paper towels and that lasts us a decent amount of time. not a bit deal if we run out because we have the world's supply of napkins in the junk drawer.

[Solly Mack]

40. lolol!

"...world's supply of napkins in the junk drawer."

From all over?

I keep mine in a draw-string cloth bag I made and hang it on the key rack.

Cause you just never know.

And I hate to waste.

[fizzgig]

41. definitely from all over the food spectrum

the drawer is also stuffed with ketchup, hot sauce and soy sauce packets.

i hate throwing that stuff out and it'll keep forever.

[Liberal_in_LA]

11. each roll will have to last three days

[fizzgig]

24. they're monster double rolls

if i can't make one last more than three days, there is something seriously wrong with me.

[Liberal_in_LA]

45. lol. ok

[In_The_Wind]

12. And, I thought I was good at bulk buying.

[fizzgig]

25. he has a special touch

[In_The_Wind]

33. we call it .... light fingering

or, putting the ghost on something

[pinboy3niner]

14. What a lazy Librul slacker!

Everybody knows you can fit more than that into a car!

[pablo_marmol]

15. "What a lazy Librul slacker!"

Thanks for the belly laugh, pinboy3niner. I needed it.

At the end of an otherwise pleasant evening tonight, I got ambushed in conversation with a load of RW/racist ranting from a person I never would have expected it from. Had to awkwardly dance away from it, but it left a really unpleasant aftertaste on an otherwise enchanting (musical) night.

[pinboy3niner]

17. Sorry for the bad part of your night

I know what that's like. I have a close friend, a VN vet brother, who normally is very straightforward in his view of things. But every once in a while he's captured by some RW socal media post and I have to talk him down.

Remember the enchanting musical part of your night. I'm glad you had a good time there.

[fizzgig]

26. he should have stuffed the bed of his truck with it

what on earth will i do with him

[A HERETIC I AM]

19. Yes, but did he bring home enough food to justify it? n/t

[fizzgig]

27. that's my job

i'll buy enough beans today to justify it.

[A HERETIC I AM]

31. That's an old line from a standup act -

"When I get to the register with a cart full of groceries, I always put the toilet paper I am getting on the belt last, then ask the cashier this judgement question;

"Is this enough toilet paper for all this food?"

[fizzgig]

32. that's pretty funny

[NV Whino]

21. I thought perhaps he'd been to Costco.

[fizzgig]

28. our costco opens on wednesday

all of the excite!

[malthaussen]

30. Preparing for Mischief Night, are we? n/t

[mnhtnbb]

42. Beat me to it!

[shenmue]

43. Wow

That is awesome.

[Sanity Claws]

44. Oh my! I hope that is not a sign that he is full of shit!

Some actions have meaning beyond the obvious.
Some don't.

[LiberalEsto]

46. I'll bet he wiped out the store

of its TP stock.
