- I'm SO glad I don't have to mess with that nonsense anymore. -- nm - Jim Jun 11, 08:36 3
  - I always enjoyed going in every week and getting a box. - Spawn Jun 11, 08:40 1
    - I can't even guess when the last time I bought condoms was. nm - Jim Jun 11, 08:41
  - You're right. Why should anyone? Abolish all condoms now!! -- nm - con_carne Jun 11, 08:38

    - waterloo even gave out BC pills -- nm - zork Jun 11, 08:34 8
      - see, that's a little dangerous. those suckers have side effects. Queen's student health plan covered them, but you still needed the prescription. -- nm - mafic Jun 11, 08:36 7
        
        condoms have side-effects too, but far less often. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 08:37 6
        
        they, uh, don't work internally. -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 08:39 5
        
        allergic reactions count as a side effect, I think. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 08:39 4
        
        Allergic to condoms... I've never tried that line before!! -- nm - con_carne Jun 11, 08:40 3
        
        latex allergies require some people to use sheepskin condoms, iirc -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 08:42 2
        
        Allergic to condoms... I've never tried that line before!! -- nm - con_carne Jun 11, 08:44 1
        
        methinks thou doth protest too much -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 08:53
    - at University I think it's a great idea. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 08:34
  - commie. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 11, 08:31
  - someone has to pay for them. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 08:31 1
    - Health insurance companies should. They'd benefit. I'm okay with the government doing it. I'd contribute to a charitable organization that did. -- nm - mara Jun 11, 08:38
  - or that.. - colin Jun 11, 08:31
- or just go to another store. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 08:30 2
  - or just about every airport and bar bathroom on earth. - mafic Jun 11, 08:32
  - i just meant in general.. - colin Jun 11, 08:32
I don't think the world was clamoring for a new Take That single -- nm - ty97 Jun 11, 08:29 1

erph, I'm so tired ... I think my sugar/caffeine crash from yesterday is happening this morning. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 08:29
DSL vs Cable ... my only experience with DSL is through TELUS, and they demonstrated themselves to be completely rude morons. - Beryllium Jun 11, 08:27 7
- I've been TELUS free for about two years, and it's been a joy. -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 08:34 1
  - I've been TELUS-free since we bought our condo - Shaw Digital Phone is awesome. However, I only became TELUS Mobility-free last month. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 08:34
- I never had telus, but that's what my brother said about them too. I had DSL once for about 6 months, way slower than cable in the same house. - mafic Jun 11, 08:29
- I plugged in my Verizon DSL in about ten minutes, worked perfectly, never had to call them once, no outages ever. Speed higher than advertised too. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 08:29 3
  - The modem wouldn't link with their server reliably, their DHCP configuration was completely worthless, and they blamed it on US. - Beryllium Jun 11, 08:33 2
    - I can't begin to tell you the trouble I had with that cable company. :) -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 08:34
    - (To put their customer service quality at the time in perspective, two weeks later someone was arrested for shooting at the TELUS building.) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 08:34
When does Merlin start? -- nm - LMS Jun 11, 08:26 2
- according to T.H. White, he lived (will live?) his life backwards so I'm not sure that his beginning has actually happening yet. -- nm - zork Jun 11, 08:36 1
  - real answer ... -- (link) - zork Jun 11, 08:55
