How do they know that guy blew up the condom machine? Maybe he was framed by unstoppable gonorrhea.
most likely a "refugee" who's religious beliefs don't allow contraception.

sat drinking beer and talking politics with Henry for an hour which was cool.
Im having a hard time imagining you talking politics with Henry Rollins, unless that talk ended with you getting smacked around a little bit. Maybe you are mellower face to face than you are on these here boards...

After that conversation with CS went nowhere, I sent an email expressing my dissatisfaction of the overall service and they basically replied with a binned email acknowledging that they failed to deliver a "convenient and efficient service" while also telling me how awesome Amazon is and how they look forward to seeing me again.
So, fuck them and their Canada Post Prime bullshit. I guess they're in the business of burning bridges for new customers so I had them cancel it and will take my business back to directcanada.

I took your advice, harlock, and got in contact with Amazon about their Prime shipping.
Basically, they put all the blame on the carrier and I can't fault them for that since it's being shipped through Canada fucking Post which is an utter joke built on incompetence. Amazon got the order out fast, as far as processing and packaging, but once it left their warehouse I'm yet again at the mercy of a postal service full of bumbling idiots.
Prime ships through two-day Xpresspost delivery but fuck you we're Canada Post so how does seven or eight days sound?

It was a near record 84 degrees on Christmas, now we're hovering around the upper 40s low 50s for daytime temps. One day AC next day had to turn the heat on.
