It is now the beholden duty of all posters to this thread to spread the term **18"DHIBJD** throughout the land, confusing the 'danes and causing those in the know to giggle uncontrollably. 😃

_wheezing, crying, beating the desk, hoping the boss doesn’t wonder what I’m laughing at_

I now have this indelible image of Beth with the Blue Dong of Death and Dismemberment that will haunt me to the end of my days.

But it just barely overshadows the rather amusing thought of you in Beth’s corset. 😉

Well, the vertabrae inside (allows it to bend, flex, and hold shape) are plastic, so it would not set off the detectors. Tell you what- next time we fly, I’ll tape it to my leg. Of course, it’ll have to be taped to my right leg…there’s scarse room on the left for anything else. 😛

And no, I’m not a crossdresser…though I do wear my wife’s undies to work on occasion, because she asks me to.  
what?  
You people need to get your minds out of the gutter. The marriage bed is sacred.

The 18"DHIBJD :eek: :eek: should always be referred to with 2 of these: :eek: :eek: , representing both the “double headed” and the “icy blue” aspects. My rule, but I think it’s a good one.

What does it say about me that when I read this thread the phrase _ding dong, the witch is dead, the wicked witch, the witch is dead. . ._ keeps running through my head?

I don’t believe that steel corset stays are period, and I won’t even begin to imagine the 14th century equivilant of an ice blue dong. Back in the day, my boyfriend once gave me a short blunt object suitable for thrusting. I think I still have it up in my attic. I would have given it back to him after we broke up, but his new girlfriend said he wouldn’t need it. It’s probably pretty brittle by now, after not being used all these years.

That would be a _half-ell hand-dipped indigo-tallowed bougie_.

That’s where the expression “burning the candle at both ends” comes from, by the way.

Stonebow an armourer of note  
Wore his wife’s corset over his scrote  
She Smacked him quite hard  
With a blue dildo, half yard  
and

Damn damn damn. Someone help finish this limerick. There’s gotta be a good finish for this. Feel free to rearrange or change.

_Since CosPlay scenarios thrill **'bow** ,  
He was smitten with his helpmeet’s dildo,  
When, clad in her corset,  
He allowed her to force it –  
And the dong left a mark that may still show._

(Sorry, there aren’t any rhymes for “corset” with an unambiguously percussive connotation. That’s my story, anyway.) 😃

I’ll give it a try, **Spect Brain**.

Stonebow, armourer of note,  
A corset wore over his scrote.  
His wife smacked his belly  
With icy blue jelly,

Sorry, but the Jedi Mind Trick won’t work here. I have to agree with the many others that have commented that once you hear the phrase “double headed, 18” ice blue jelly dong" it’s hard to forget it. In fact it just keeps echoing through the brain …

double headed, 18" ice blue jelly dong

double headed, 18" ice blue jelly dong

double headed, 18" ice blue jelly dong
