Next in line for toilet paper, becoming the old Soviet Union.

What do you mean old? My Russian wife is in central Russia now. They still take their own toilet paper with then wherever they go. When they can get it, the Russian toilet paper is like sandpaper even today. Comes in small, brown rolls. Go into a "public" restroom and an old lady will sell you one small sheet for a ruble (1/28th of a cent)

I would bet the farm that at least 1/2 of those people who are paying over a hundred dollars for TENNIS SHOES are on WELFARE

“..I wonder how many of those waiting to buy expensive shoes are on some form of public assistance?”

My $$ says ALL OF THEM!

This is the reason I need to be armed. If they riot and kill each other over shoes, what will happen if we ever run into food shortages?

It's a year old story. I guess the Houston paper doesn't keep them active.

Don’t ask me how this thread joined the undead thread category. I don’t know.

Maybe it’ll be a Christmas Eve Eve tradition. In any event, I was looking for these pictures (post 12 and 49) a couple of weeks ago. I knew I had seen them somewhere. And now - here they are.

I’m bookmarking them. Keyword: peskyamish

This is what the "O" voters call a "BUM RUSH".

I was behind a group of two people in the local supermarket today. One of them was saying how they waited in line for hours and purchased the new shoes, then promptly paid for their approx. $200 purchase with my tax dollars.

LOL. I had to take a second look at the starting date of this thread - interesting how they get resurrected like this.
