Freecondoms.com Revisited

For those not familiar with the concept, reading these Bohicas -- Free Condoms on the Web and Freecondoms.com Update -- should fix you.

The ultimate box of 500 arrived before Christmas and I merrily passed out the loot to family and friends. As I picked the flavored ones -- banana, orange, and strawberry -- they were brightly colored and thus very festive. A big hit for the Holidays.

Even so, there's still about half the box left and with the twin's approaching birthday -- yet another gifting opportunity. Plus the expiration date isn't until 2006. These aren't some cheap no name rubber either -- Durex products only.

About two months ago, I logged back on to scope the scene and found a new goal:

The Party Pack of Flavored Lube!

Flavored lubricating gel... Great for parties, dorms, clubs or teams, or just to keep around for those unexpected encounters! Get 144 pillow packs of Wet's Flavored & Scented lubrication in a cool fish bowl display. These 10ml packets are great travel, and great as party favors. A selection of sugar-free flavors including: Passion Fruit, Fresh Mango, Kiwi Strawberry, Pina Colada, Red Apple, Sweet Cherry, Wine Grape, Tropical Fruit, Seedless Watermelon, and Wild Blueberry.

Doesn't that sound like fun?

The part about clubs and teams is a bit freaky, but making them sugar-free... how thoughtful! I just hope the flavors don't clash with banana, orange, and strawberry.

It required 2000 condom points -- which I partially acquired through trial subscriptions to Time, Maxim, and Playboy... Freecondoms.com caters to men, so the offered pubs reflect "guy" interests. I canceled Playboy and Time within the trial period, but have been enjoying Maxim enough to keep it. Its only a dollar an issue and is very bubble gum -- like a dude version of Cosmo.

The rest of the points came from yet another Discover card. This one is a sexy translucent orange and a successful application was worth 800.

The long and short is the cool fish bowl display is on its way and may even arrive in time for the twin's birthday.

Netflix remains my favorite freecondoms point deal. I've even upgraded to the ultimate plan -- eight DVDs allowed out at a time. Ultimate in convenience and selection -- beats Blockbuster all to hell.

Anyway -- here is yet another attorney joke:

How do you get a lawyer out of a tree?

Cut the rope.
