I came into this thread (shhh, that's not the joke) with the intent of making a condom joke, but it looks like you took that from me. Snatched it away. I can see what you're trying to do, protecting the thread from being filled with crass condom homour. You could say you've wrapped the thread in a protective film so that there aren't any unwanted mishaps. However, now I just feel confinded, pressed in from all sides, shut off from the ourside... you know I've taken this far enough.
When I got my Wii the jacket thing was on the control and I just never took it off. Now it feels odd when I don't use it. Similar thing happened with my Xbox controller and the chat pad thingy.
