maps

The weather may suck, but at least the maps have more variety than they had a year ago.

I have a more interesting loop for track workouts.

D. Stewart was another Amazonian who did not like my reviewing style...this one is for some battery operated condom.

11 of 15 people found the following review helpful: shocked my junk, March 30, 2006 By S. "strap" The small battery has been deemed to be safe...au contraire. There was a problem with the battery and the soft rubber casing wore through...it shocked my junk. Why no voting buttons?

I laughed for about eight minutes when I read this review. Seriously, though...good to know.

As Strap has littered Amazon with these useless and false reviews, I wouldn't put much credence in his comments.

D. Stewart....the product is useless. that's my point.

Another Review

These Magnum users take themselves a little too seriously, discussing a review I wrote back in '06

7 of 37 people found the following review helpful: Wow! I can fit these on my head, June 5, 2006 By S. "strap" Who are these made for? Elephants? I highly doubt the most prodigious of woodmen would need a jimmy hat this big. I certainly can't find a human use for them, other than to slip over my head when it's raining. That does a good job, until my hair gets gooey from the lube. Why no voting buttons?

I remember the first time I saw this product in the store, I was esstatic. The magnum's were just way too tight, the XLs fit still tight. Most of my partners never complained of my girth, but like all things there are up and down sides.

Simple rule here: If your penis is closer to 6 inches in circumference buy larger sized condoms. If your penis is closer to or under 5 inches in circumference then buy normal sized condoms.

More From Amazon

After some more reviewing of my Amazon history, I found another attempt to discredit my condom reviewing by none other than the supersleuth himself, Tym N. He cracked the case on my twisted magnum review:

10 of 17 people found the following review helpful: A steal!, May 8, 2007 By S. "strap" Can you believe it? 12 condoms for $.99...that's insane! Only $.0825 per condom! These are the new maximum love, thin large condoms for those of us with the big junk that likes the sweet sensitive sensations. Thanks once again condomman! Why no voting buttons?

Very, very wrong.

Don't get worked up by this reviewer's (s. strap's) comments, I'm pretty sure they're fake.

Note his review here: 12 Durex Enhanced Pleasure Condoms, Specially Contoured Condom for Snugger Fit and More Safety

In which he says that the product (Durex Enhanced Pleasure Condoms, Specially Contoured Condom for Snugger Fit) fits loose! Note that this is a condom that was designed to fit tighter than a normal condom.

But look at his review for "Trojan Magnum Large Latex Condoms with Warm Sensations Lubricant, 12-Count Boxes (Pack of 3)." He 'says' that these large size (i.e. magnum) condoms "are a little snug and tight ... if you know what I'm saying."

So the slim, snug-fit condoms are loose but ole strap the stud finds the magnums tight? Yeah, ok.

He also glows about the Okamoto Crown condom, which is smaller than most condoms. If it's ultra thin and smaller than normal, but the larger than normal magnums (which are built like hefty bags) are tight, wouldn't it be dangerous to use these Crowns?

My point: don't be influenced by this guy's reviews. While, as some of them are probably based on actual experience, most of them are utterly contrived, fake, and quite possibly an attempt to defraud customers.

You should listen to Tym N. He's an expert on fake condom reviews and has foiled my diabolical plot to possibly defraud customers.

Joys of Working in the City

Last time I lived here, didn't spend much time in the city on a daily basis.  I've been riding the metro since Snowmageddon...usually it's uneventful, but some days are a little more exciting than others.  Today was one of those days.

 

1) At the metro station, I see the cyborg guy again.  This time he's getting off the train when I'm getting on...he mumbles something about cyborgs again.  Too bad I didn't stick around to get some more info.

 

2) I learned that the "stand back, doors closing" warning is no-joke.  Saw a small woman get stuck halfway through the door.  She couldn't wiggle herself free.  Just as I was going to pull her free, the doors open and the conductor gives a stern warning over the PA system.

 

3) Walking to lunch, I see the same guy that's always sitting in front of Starbucks.  He makes a different gesture at me every day and silently mouths something.  Dude is there every day.

 

4) Walking back from lunch, I'm stopped by a guy wearing a marine corps stocking hat.  He asks me if I'm Air Force, promptly salutes and said "they couldn't get Cheney, 'cause he was on an Air Force base"...he seemed genuinely happy about the fact that "they couldn't get Cheney".  He told me that 3 times, and said it again as I walked off.  I couldn't tell if he liked Cheney, or he was proud of the Air Force.  I really don't know what he meant. 

 

There's some good melting going on today...hope to be back on the bike tomorrow.

Amazon Reviews

A few years ago, I started reviewing stuff on Amazon, all with the intent to get a high reviewer ranking. A lot of my reviews were not serious, since you could buy a lot of things on Amazon (condoms, blow-up dolls, tanks) that probably didn't warrant a serious review. I was on Amazon today shopping and thought I'd look through some old reviews. I found this exchange on one of my condom reviews. Seems I was causing some trouble amongst some serious condom shoppers:

		Trojan Magnum Lubricated Latex Condoms, Large Size Twister 12 ea Offered by Undercover Condoms Price: $10.95 Availability: In Stock		8 used & new from $4.89
0 of 19 people found the following review helpful: Ouch!, November 12, 2007 I should've read the product description a little more closely. These condoms are intentionally twisted. I put them on my junk, then tried to twist it back...needless to say, everything ended up in knots. All you non-magnum wearers wouldn't know anything about getting it tied up in knots. Daniel E. Cabral Jr. says: So, wait, you give the product a negative rating because of your own senselessness? After you figured out how they're SUPPOSED to work, were they any better/worse than normal Magnums? Did they live up to the "mutual pleasure" aspect they're trying to achieve?
