let's wrap this game up

Its an open secret—gay men, and their friends, rarely pay for condoms. At least in urban areas where a variety of agencies with the mission to stop the spread of HIV place giant fishbowls of free condoms in every bar and bathroom. There is really no excuse for any gay man not to have a condom handy if the situation, ahem, arises.

Also, it's fun to fill your fruit fly's purse with them when she isn't looking. No reason she shouldn't be safe too.

The very long Memorial Day Eve Sunday in the Park (with Wilson's break for dancing) ended back in the Castro. However, after 12 hours together, the conversation started to wane. Enjoying each-other's company again at Toad Hall, someone dug into the adjacent bowl of condoms to discover that the STOP AIDS Project had switched to a new brand, and was fully stocked with "One" Condoms, each apparently with a different design.

And Lordy, were there many, many designs. And many were very, very clever. While there seemed to be an endless number of designs, one could find a pair as they pulled from the bowl. Which somehow, or perhaps obviously, led to several hands of "Condom Go Fish."

Got any "Stiff One"s?
