i still have within my possession the most 90s of all radical relics



this would be considered 'problematic' in 2k16, think about that...if someone said that to me and my pog crew back in the day we would called them a human being and bounce OJ off their loving forehead. my badass pog crew

was POG really some street hustlin hawaiian game played using milk caps or was that just some bullshit that some ad man came up after doing cocaine all night?

Wow, you people with the OJ pogs. The Pog fad died off a couple years before that :D. Way to get into the game late!

Wry and wise,
but also very sexual.

I always preferred the far more available Tazo, which were printed onto plastic rather than cardboard, were far more colourful and made use of a wide variety of licences and made a pleasing sound when struck.

My cousin gave me some pogs and then he told me the aim of the game was to see who could most accurately spit on them so I never ended up using them because I was scared they'd have my cousins dried spit.

I had a shitload of them and I think my quest to get the entire set of Apollo 13 Pogs from Hardee's was responsible for a lot of weight gain as a young kid. I did get all of them though, including the entire rocket and the full suite of Slammers, which had a picture of the moon and the Apollo 13 movie logo and came in both silver and a really weird metallic blue-green color that I can't describe but was fascinated by. One of the series was just the movie logo against a holofoil background and I tried to collect as many of that one as I could. My other favorite was a sort of Garbage Pail Kids-esque series featuring a green rabbit-ish character that kind of looked like the Noid getting the poo poo beat out of him in one way or another; one was called Knuckle Sandwich and depicted him getting punched pretty brutally in the face, another was called Rock Cereal where he pretty graphically busted a tooth trying to eat a rock. And the Pure Poison ones of course, which I think everyone had

I still have that stupid Apollo 13 rocket and it's full of Pogs. My favorite Pogs were "Slugs", which had lenticular pictures of like cute, happy things that turned gory or gross when you turned them back and forth. You could even peel the backing off of your favorite one and put it on the slammer.

When I was a young teen my sister won a bunch of Pogs and the Megadeth Youthanasia CD. She gave me the CD and its been all about the metal since then. Yay for free pogs and great metal.

I had a pot maker. you would take a magazine or comic and it would cut a circle around the image and past it on a blank white pog.

I pretty much made nothing but pog with tits on them with old victoria serect catalogs.

I remember trading a box of razor blades that I found on the street for some pogs when I was a kid.

People in my middle school would literally beat each other bloody over this game. I've never seen twelve year olds get so violent over something so benign.

Millennials these days have it so easy. Now they just impotently yell death threats to each other over Xbox live or whatever.

Look up the things he said behind the scenes. It was pretty gritty already, it sounded like a pretty terrible place to work.

I played pogs, we had a pog store in our town, and I even won the local Michaels pog tournament (it was my brother and i) and got a bunch of free pog stuff.
