But if things go right for me, I should have a pre-order of the iPad when it's available here in Australia and perhaps get the box too to hold all my boxes of matches. That must make me a Gay smoker.</p> I don’t see a connection between Condoms and Gay.

Taking a passive-aggressive jab at an ex-lover, maybe?

Just sayin’…seems a little inappropriate here. No hate for the gay guys, I just think stuff like this perpetuates a stereotype of shallow promiscuity in the gay community.

I like the site though.
