I wonder if the shipment of goats made it to them in time.
Urgent message from the bottom of the world;
Goats arrived. Send more condoms!!!

Kirk Cameron does - though apparently with bananas. If it's good enough for Kirk Cameron it's ....good...... enough....for....for....Well for sombody else somewhere anyway!In all fairness, we don't know what they're using the condoms for. They could just be putting them on the cucumbers to...
You know what? I'm not even going to go into it.
Apparently, this was meant in the biblical sense."Since everybody knows everyone, it becomes a little bit uncomfortable,"
Well, it is in Australian Antarctic Territory, is it not?
Us Aussies aren't exactly prudes you know...
I believe coitus interruptus is the Latin term for it.

I can see how a thin, elastic latex container might prove remarkably handy in an environment where you just can't run down to the corner store for something suitable.

Aussies?
Without 16,500 paper bags aren't the condoms pretty much useless then?
Actually, since only roughly half of the staff will wear condoms (provided the distribution in terms of sex is fairly balanced), make that about 22 times a month.
Party indeed.
Two women graduate students were working at Bonney at that time. One of them, a tall, feline individual called Cristina, was the target of a good deal of teasing, to which she retaliated in kind. John’s favourite story was that on her regular trips down to base Cristina had begun stockpiling free condoms from the McMurdo medical centre. It wasn’t that she needed them in Antarctica, she said, but that she never knew when they might come in handy at home, and as they were free – hey, she was a grad student. Arriving back at Bonney one day she had stepped out of the helicopter, dug her hand in her pocket to retrieve a glove and inadvertently brought out a handful of condoms which sprayed all over the helipad, whipped into the air by the blades and settling gently over her shoulders like confetti.

Yeah, when I read they only had 11 per person per month, I wondered what they were planning to do with the other 30 days of the month.
Well, they may not be using them there… I've just finished reading Sara Wheeler's Terra Incognita: Travels in Antarctica. Condoms get a mention:
Sorry fellas, McMurdo is an American base.![]()
Yeah, but it's in AAT, so maybe they've picked up some good habits
Actually, it's within the Ross Dependency, which is claimed by New Zealand.![]()
Quote:
The base only has a skeleton staff through the long winter.
Shouldn't they be teaching abstinence to these scientist?
