His head is totally photoshopped.

Oil filter for my truck (very common make/model) is on backorder till Oct 30.

Set of tires for said truck - on backorder till Oct 25 (ordered last week).

Timing belt kit ordered 2 weeks ago still not shipped by the seller.

A wi-fi laser printer I bought two years ago for $86 is now $223 and backordered till mid-November. A newer model of the same - not available and no ETA given.

Went to look for sofa sleeper for spare room, none in stock and 2 to 4 month wait at two different furniture stores.

You can always build one. I know a guy that knows a guy that makes mattresses (seriously).

Is anybody else annoyed that the main character trait of Pete Butigege is that he's gay? I mean, that's his entire schtick. He's gay.

Out of flour, sugar, and shortening? WTF!

Kroger around here does not have those little bags you put produce in.

The Great Reset Talking Point is that "Now everything is going to be local and organic!"

That is what Wife's Facebook Small Lib Arts College Friends are repeating as NPC hotspots.

Today I tried to buy toothpicks at Safeway, but they were out.

Then I tried to buy a Ritter chocolate bar at TJ, but they were out.

I found toothpicks at Walgreens, but there are lots of noticeable gaps on the shelves there.

This just in! College students newly out of the house but still supported by parents/student loans for a few more years before a "real job" harbor naive optimism toward the world's hardships and problems!

Stihl chainsaws are nearly impossible to find.

I've read that in Argentina, houses are literally paid for with a suitcase full of cash. The transaction is done in the lobby of a bank to take advantage of bank security, no one in Argentina trusts the banks anymore after they confiscated everyone's dollar savings.

With a supply chain crisis facing the country, Buttegg talks about directing federal dollars to make sure "Buses" carrying "Black or Puerto Rican kids" to the "Beach" aren't enocuntering "underpasses "too low" on the way, because that must have been Ray's Cyst.

This is true. NOBODY keeps dollars in banks. It happened at least twice in the past decade or so that I can recall.

Yesterday I noticed a shortage of bread at Publix, their selection was very slim. And they didn't have any Publix Brand breads.
This comes at a time, I have mastered several bread techniques and have just been itching for it to become feasible for me to make bread regularly.
Hoagie Rolls, Hotdog Rolls, Kaiser Rolls, Bagels, Asian Milk or Water Roux bread, and Italian.

Finally got the good shit yeast, stay away from that crappy Fleishman's it's always expired or under performs. And don't be afraid to let the ole Kitchen Aide mixer go to town on it. Just let it go, with the dough hook, until you almost forget that it's even running, because you've tuned the noise out.

Yesterday I noticed a shortage of bread at Publix, their selection was very slim.

I presume you mean the bread aisle, where the Wonder Bread et al is, and not the in-store bakery.
Publix opened recently here in Virginia. All their bakery bread, except the Tuscan Boule, is Cuban Bread. That is, no matter whether it is French, Italian, Mountain, or round, it is just a different shape of the same Cuban bread. I call Cuban bread "balloon bread," since it is mostly air. Pick up a large "Italian" loaf and it weighs next to nothing. However, the Publix Tuscan Boule is hefty and makes great fried ham and cheese sandwiches.

Publix bakery bread crust is too leathery and chewy. I like a good rigid crunch baguette, and French Bread, with a fluffy pillow in the middle.

Yes as for the bread isle in question. I made fried grouper sandwiches last evening. But I wanted some nice Kaiser rolls to eat them on. The Publix bakery only had one pack on hand, and they didn't look their best So I went to get the Wonder Big buns(these were thick big chunks of beer battered fish). And they were out of those too. That's when I noticed the lack of selection, and settled on some crappy Pentridge Farms Regulation sized shitty sandwich bun.

Tenpoundbass says

Ah yes, the Regulation SSS bun, not a crowd pleaser but gets the job done.

Went to Lowe's and they had three aisles of plastic storage boxes, one kind each row. They could have nested them and fit them all in half an aisle but they had empty boxes, lid on, placed on the shelves. Waste of space but at least the shelves weren't empty.

Yeah, we fancy like Applebee's on a date night
Got that Bourbon Street steak with the Oreo shake
Get some whipped cream on the top too
Two straws, one check, girl, I got you

Some Alabama-jamma, she my Dixieland delight
Aye, that's how we do, how we do, fancy like, oh
