SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!

The Song Challenge:   Yes, Virginia, There Really Is A Pot O' Gold! -- (HONG KONG, China) A Hong Kong jeweler has opened his doors to what is possibly the world's most glamorous convenience -- a glittering golden bathroom complete with two 24-carat solid gold toilets.   Having learned in school that Lenin had wanted to make gold toilets for the Russian people, Lam Sai-wing says he had long dreamed of creating the ultimate in lavish loos. Now the owner of a successful jewelers, Lam has finally turned his ideal dream into a $4.9 million reality.  Replete with gold wash basins, toilet brushes, toilet paper holders, mirrors, chandeliers and even wall tiles and doors made of solid gold, the 45-year old businessman calls his creation "a combination of my thoughts and ideals".    Inside the ceiling of the "ancient Roman-style" washroom is encrusted with ruby, sapphire, emerald and amber.  However, visitors to Lam's luxury lavatory will find that it is open only to an exclusive few.   Potential users will have to spend at least HK$1,000 (U.S.$138) on jewelry for the privilege to relieve themselves amid the finery.   The restroom was not to everyone's taste though.  "It's too wasteful, said one visitor.   Others who had the opportunity to make a dazzling deposit were more appreciative of the marketing concept behind the convenience.   Wang Xifeng, a visitor from mainland China, said she appreciated Lenin's vision and Lam's realization of it.  "It's a good selling point," she said with a smile.  "It's a dream come true."   For a peek at the pot, click here!


Super Dooper Platinum Pooper by Dharmabum
(Sung to 'Itsy Bitsy, Teenie Weenie, Yellow Polka Dot Bikini')

I was vacationing down in ol' Hong Kong
A place that I find is quite nice
But while sampling the fare of ol' Hong Kong
I digested some rancid fried rice.

My stomach it started to rumble
The feeling was rather abrupt
I must find a bathroom quite quickly
Like St. Helens I fear I'll erupt.

I ran to the first place I saw there
Hoping they would understand
I explained of my urgent dilemma
But they said "It'll cost you a grand."

(Chorus):
1,2,3,4, What was behind that bathroom door
It was a super dooper platinum pooper
Bright & shiny for my hinie
That I saw for the first time today
A bathroom that's got all the trappings
Built just right for royal crappings
I fell in love with that bathroom today.

I was afraid to sit down on that toilet
I was scared to sit down on that loo
Deep inside I just can't stand the pressure
And I don't know what I'm gonna do.

Well I'd never seen anything like it
This was rather an odd circumstance
I cautiously walked in that bathroom
And carefully took down my pants.

I felt rather stately there sitting
As if I were brought up high class
It made for a royal bowel movement
With that feeling of gold on my ass.

(Chorus):
1,2,3,4,What was behind that bathroom door
It was a super dooper platinum pooper
Bright & shiny for my hinie
That I saw in the bathroom today
A bathroom that's got all the trappings
Built just right for royal crappings
I fell in love for the first time today.

So if you ever find yourself in Hong Kong
And you suddenly hear nature's call
Run down to the jewelry district
Find that golden room just down the hall.
