Someone bumped a thread from 2001 that was about dildoes. Maybe that was the cornfielded one? Too bad, it was hilarious.

It was a link to a web page where one could order a glow-in-the-dark rubber selfie stick. With strap.

Helena, I posted in that dildoe zombie thread ( of course I did). You can look at my stats and get to it. I’d do a link, but I ain’t got a clue how to.  
The bad one was started by stinkbag, It’s gone.

The cornfielded one was started in IMHO and was supposedly asking for people’s opinions on glow-in-the-dark dildoes. It had a link to an adult sex toy site. It was obviously spam, besides being NSFW.

To finish the hijack, I ran across [this piece on ars](https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/10/screwdriving-many-bluetooth-sex-toys-leave-users-vulnerable/) about poor digital security for Bluetooth sex toys.

Dildo jokes.

Roy D Mercer had a radio show where he’s call and prank people live, on the air. In this case, the boyfriend set up his girlfriend by giving Roy just enough information about her new vibrator to allow Roy to, welllll… It’s worth the 5 minutes listen.

NSFW graphics (dildo) on screen during play.

Someone’s trying to get people to buy dildos, and she calls herself **Stinkbag**? :dubious:

Was the central male character in that story blind? Did they explain how he got that way? Hmm.

I don’t think a troll, just someone who wants to get his money back from that Nigerian prince he lent it to.

If he doesn’t get the money back, he may have to sell his 1935 penny.
