I don’t know if I could afford all these rare earth mineral dongs. Perhaps I could simply request and Iron Dong?

Go, on give it a try you might like it.

**Cluicon** an Iron dong would rust! Aluminium would be a safer bet.

btw my latest bank card has been upgraded from platinum to translucent blue. This is a clear sign that an Ice Blue Jelly Dong trumps a mere platinum dong.

Isn’t **Gold Dong Member** redundant? Oh, and for those playing along at home, don’t rain down hellfire on the new member – perhaps he’s just looking for _some new kind of thinking_. Watch this space!

With profuse apologies to Shirley Bassey.

Gold Dong Member!  
He’s the man, the man with the redundant name.  
That is so lame.  
Such doper is he.  
Beckons you to enter his basement for a game.  
But don’t go in.

Golden (unmentionable) he will pour in your ear,  
But his lies can’t disguise what you fear,  
For a golden girl knows when he’s kissed her,  
It’s D&D forevermore.

Mister Gold Dong Member.  
Pretty girl beware of this Dong of Gold  
This schlong is not cold.  
Its a two inch heat burnin’ missssssssile!

He loves only his Schwanz,  
It fits in his pants.  
With plenty of roooooom left ooooovvvvver!

Well if we’re breaking into song now…

{Hal Briston Intro}

I am Iron Dong  
Ripping off a great Black Sabbath song  
Out loud I have cussed  
Like Bippy said it’s begun to rust…

Nobody wants it…  
Tetanus shots are involved  
WD-40…  
Isn’t helping at all

Now I’ll end this song  
should have gone and got the Gold Member Dong  
Turn my head and cough  
Somebody help me get this danged thing off…

As long as you don’t live in Texas (? or was it Alabama ) you can _buy_ one at your local adult book store.

How long until there’s a board member called **Gold Dong Member**?

Not long.
