I hated those things! They were everywhere! It just looks like a bunch of kids having tantrums and throwing their toys down. My cousin used to collect them, but she never played with them. Total waste of her mother's hard-earned money.
1) I totally played this 2) i had a hologram slammer of the Jester face that guy carries on the green POG board 3) POG boards? 4) Banned at my school 'cause it was considered gambling 5) POG isnt a sport, of any decade 6) POG shops lol how they doin' now? 7) POG
Psychedelics, Magic mushrooms, 8 balls, sexual innuendo hardcore...
I remember I always made sure to buy a handfull of the most bizarre and inappropriate looking pogs so I could sit in my room and be entertained by how goofy and heehee teehee ohh hoho oh how naughty they was!
I think I had one slammer that had a holographic warning to all kids on it: "This sport was invented by pedophiles."
Yep. As soon as one of our fat, bitchy, female teachers waddled over to see what us kids were huddling around, pogs were banned. Typical.
So we went back to scorching our asses on the bright, shiny slide. Jumping off the swings. Falling down and scraping our knees playing handball. Getting the wind knocked out of us by catching a soccerball to the chest. And throwing fistfulls of sand at each other when we got upset.
But thank God they banned pogs. They could have been trouble.
Along with Pokemon, Beanie Babies and Yo-Yos, I got sucked into so many stupid fads as a kid in the '90s. Kids these days don't really have things like this (correct me if I'm wrong) so they're lucky.
I think I still have a tube of these.. somewhere. I remember buying a couple handfuls of the things as a kid, played it maybe twice, and that was it. I'm both slightly ashamed and proud to have stuck with Pokemon, though. >.>
Childhood should be dangerous - full of lawn darts and BB guns, and all the other things now frowned upon (if not banned). These are the modern agents of natural selection.
The herd must be thinned, and these little flat things are not up to the job.
I remember playing this during after-school care in Park Ridge. It made the place look like a juvenile casino.
ReplyDeleteAh yes. Like Marbles crossed with beanie babies or those stickers that come out of vending machines at the super market. Serious business.
ReplyDeleteWhatevs, whatevs, I still play POGs.
ReplyDeleteOUCH MY EYE
ReplyDeleteWe used to get into knife fights over these things. Then Satan overtook our bodies and they banned the sport.

ReplyDelete"This is the game of the 90s."
ReplyDeleteIf I had a dollar for everytime I heard that....
You ever seen the designs on those pogs?

It's still better than Silly Bands.

ReplyDeletei could have been a ten year old professional, now i have my whole life ahead of me.
ReplyDeleteI still have an "O.J. in the Slammer" Pog slammer some kid left at my store.
ReplyDeleteNothing celebrates murder like kitching it up 90's style.
p.s. Inside out is wiggida wiggida wack.

These things are so harmless they offend me.

What? No Official Steve Allen pog?
ReplyDeletethe game fad of the 90's for kids too stupid to understand the flip, tap, turn intricacies of Magic the gathering.
ReplyDeletehow was this even a thing?
Alf is back, in POG form.
ReplyDeleteThe POG Store used to be the Koosh Ball Emporium.
ReplyDeletethat woman saying "A-merry-can" cracks me up
ReplyDeleteI remember having a set, but being black, no one in my neighborhood wanted to play something so retarded.
ReplyDeleteah 90's fads
ReplyDeletethey were so.....90's
Santa Monica FTW
ReplyDeleteI still have a bunch of my POGS and my mom got me a POG maker that never really worked right....haha
ReplyDeleteI'm not so sure if I want to end up in POG heaven. Hearing the *plink* *plink* sound for eternity would eventually make me want to strangle people.
ReplyDeleteI happened to have a POG maker as a kid. if those things were still around today, I can imagine some of the POGs I would design....
I had a few POGs, until my dad declared them demonic tools of satan.
ReplyDeleteSo many whitebacks/con POGs in this commercial it's scary. Stay true to the game!
