<p>This thread is hilarious and informative–a terrific combo. Meanwhile someone voiced my own amazement that there are condom sizes. Maybe this is something for DH and DS to figure out together!</p>
<p>On another note, I had to get the Tdap vaccine today because it had been awhile and there is a lot of whooping cough going on around here in Washington State.</p>

For people in our age group, “condom novelty” had probably worn off just about the time “magnum” and “hugger” were introduced. I remember the jokes. Standard will be fine for anyone other than Tommy Lee.</p>
<p>D at the docs getting a physical, her second meningococcal shot and sickle cell test (for NCAA requirement) - had been waiting forever when her Grand Uncle called (this never happens) and just as she answered and said hello to him, the nurse finally appeared, saw her on the phone and scurried off. She’s been waiting another half hour. Glad I am not there!!!</p>
<p>Second maidenmom, drink whenever possible. Back from work happy to see the condom discussion continuing. DH and DS had a very serious talk abotu condoms last year, and I know that there is a stash in the room. None used yet (because really, I am the only one that empties the little trash cans) but I believe that practice has been made. It is all kind of weird, because (being the good Berkeley parents) we didn’t circumcize our DS so we have always asked him a lot of questions to make sure he is comfortable and “normal”. </p>
<p>One reason DS is not switching to my female doctor is because a frank discussion with a physician about his junk is in order. I don’t want to be anywhere near that talk.</p>
<p>SteveC–you made me choke on my mineral water.</p>
<p>“condom novelty” turned into “novelty condoms”</p>
<p>“One reason DS is not switching to my female doctor is because a frank discussion with a physician about his junk is in order. I don’t want to be anywhere near that talk.”</p>
<p>I feel that sentiment - and because I don’t have a S, I have to imagine - and that was wayyyyyy easy to do!</p>
<p>At what point do we make this thread mandatory reading for our children? Kinda like a Sesame Street teaching moment for the college bound set.</p>
<p>You guys are hilarious, but for some reason today this forum made everything so real for me. Sending off my first two (boys) wasn’t too hard but now that the last one, and only girl is going, I am starting to get choked up. I’ll be checking in daily for more great laughs.</p>
<p>I just want to point out that CPU (and we have at least one other list adoptee, I think) has been very, very, very quiet of late…yes, this is what parents are really like when the kids aren’t around. But you can ignore we’re even having this conversation and tell us what (else) you’re doing to get ready for college.</p>
<p>OK, I’m soooo glad that someone brought up Sesame Street because if you haven’t read it (I will post link again below) I imagine Sam the Eagle of “Muppets” fame standing at his podium and reading aloud the following admonition punctuated by his standard line, “Shocking . . . simply shocking!”</p>

<p>sorry to change the subject temporarily, but can someone tell me if </p>
<p>BWRK = bright well rounded kid
or
BWRK= boring white rich kid</p>
<p>the former - but the latter is funnier!</p>
<p>(at least I think I read this somewhere on this site a while back cause I was trying for the life of me to figure out what the heck the “D’s” in front of D and S meant)</p>
<p>oh vlines, I wonder if adcoms see them both as the same 
In a CC context I would go for Bright Well-Rounded Kid.</p>
<p>Jaylynn- They’ve had the different sizes for at least 10 years. You just haven’t been hanging out in that area of the store since before that! </p>
<p>Condom instruction cartoons: apparently too porn-y to go on the outside of the box?</p>
<p>Magnum condom box label:
“You must be THIS BIG to buy this box.”</p>
<p>I thought it was maybe a vanity plate for someone who likes Bjork, but that was already taken.</p>
<p>BWRK = Be sure to Wear your Rubbers, Kid!</p>
<p>woody - does the box actually have a ruler on it so you can tell if it’s a match like the “keeper fish” rulers on boats?</p>
<p>Too funny!</p>
<p>Magnum condom box label:
“You must be THIS BIG to buy this box.” </p>
<p>Is there a way to change the font so that THIS BIG stretches across the whole page?!</p>
<p>this thread made me google F&M as well and got the following “Condoms - Health Services - free of charge, also available in snack vending machines in residence hall”</p>
<p>gives snacks a whole new image…</p>
