Today's item of nostalgia: POGS!
Hot damn son, if you grew up in America in the 90's, you remember these suckas. Pogs were a fad popular in the mid-90's amongst young school kids. They look bad*ss, right? You want to know how to play, right? Let me explain this shi* to you squares in the house tonight.
How to play:
-You take a larger heavier disk, called a Slammer, and you slam it onto a stack of lighter, thinner disks (the pogs). Whichever one lands face up, you get to keep. Then your opponent gets his turn, and you continue back and forth till all the pogs are gone.
Some Hardcore Slammers
Ahha lol, pogs.
ReplyDelete...I had a huge set.
Maybe you could post pics of the slammers, some of those were HELLA badass.
Pfeh, heh. My brother was always telling me "We should get back into pogs for the hell of it". Dude, post some old commercials that were shown on Nick, or like prizes won from Legends of The Hidden Temple, or Figure It Out. There's plenty of nostalgiagasms in those.
ReplyDeleteI actually never played pogs o_O yeah, I know right?! I guess I was more into grabbing my Gameboy and a pokemon game and the connection cable and battle everyone during recess. x3
ReplyDeletedamn i had so many of those and only the dopest slammers. the tube always smelt funny
ReplyDeletefuck yea pogs lol.

They weren't called pogs in my country, but they looked similar and had the same function
ReplyDeleteOh, good times <3

ReplyDeleteHell yeah man....I went to Hawaii when I was like 9 and got hundreds of legit milk pogs.....Del taco slammers!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy bro had tons of pogs, but I never played it.
ReplyDeleteMy uncle worked for a printing company that made pogs. I was king of the pogs in elementary school. Memories!
ReplyDeleteHNNNNNNNNG I lost. Well, actually I never played pogs- I was born too late (crazy bones were my thing)- but my brother played pogs all the time, I remember they seemed cool, but now it's like... wat...
ReplyDeleteAnyway, yeah, my blog I actually set it up as a real blog for school XD I'm just afraid I'm not going to be posting often enough for them, even though I'm just only going to be posting as often as my teacher asks me too... Making a bit of $ on the side too seemed like a nice idea =P

ReplyDeletefuck. I lost hard. I had approximately a metric shit ton of these and then one day when I was at school my psycho grandma gathered em up along with my legos and sold em all. for $10. She thought I never played with them so it would be ok. and I didn't even get any of the money.
ReplyDeletecouple days later I sold her dog for 20 bucks and kept the money.
