Oh the horror of it all...

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I'm going to put a spoke disk on my bike now. It will go great with my Sora triple.

You need to check your sarcasm detector; it doesn't seem to be working. But your last sentence IS intriguing; just where does one go to buy a dork disk?

Everyone ride down to the LBS and ask to buy a dork disk.

I fear that would cause a tear in this whole space-time continue-thingy. Best not temp quantum physics, I hear it can get a little stringy....

Do you want an actual "working one"? If not, then just go to any MTB trail and you'll see a bunch of them (usually in various pieces) strewn about and littering the landscape. The dork disc and the wheel reflector have become the McDonalds hamburger wrapper of the cycling world.
