I'd play, but 1) I don't know where my pogs all made off to and 2) I don't live in Michigan.

I used to have the giant plastic cylinder for storing them. I had X-men pogs. I think there was even a pog notebook kind of like those YuGiOh ones, where the holders were circular.

I found a pog a couple of days ago.
It was an 8 ball.

Slammers were awesome. I played it like marbles back in 3rd grade, and kept the person's pogs that I beat. But one day I bet a kid all of my pogs against his gigantic collection, and the prick beat me with a 1 lb. metal slammer.

Ever since that day I've died a little more on the inside every time I think about it.

That's sad...

I think that we should bring back a revival of pogs!

And to prove my point, I'm pretty sure this post is 1337!

Remember when eight-ball logos were cool, especially because kids didn't know that "eight ball" is slang for 3.5 grams of... illicit treasure.

Well, after some strenuous searching, my pogs have been located. The one on top was a Demolition Man pog. No joke. Disturbingly, though, there wasn't a slammer among them, which raises some interesting questions. I'll have to look into this more thoroughly.

Der, if you don't have a slammer, it will be difficult for you to locate one. Because it is 2007.

I always found the term "slammer" embarassing and avoided saying it whenever possible.

Some of my pogs have saw-blade edges.

Oddly enough, I actually have a cap from the passionfruit-orange-guava drink from Haleakela Foods that started the whole thing. I remember the store in my hometown had "POG" in the coolers at the height of the pogs craze.

I don't know why exactly I saved this one particular thing for twelve years... It's in this big box of weird stuff I have. Other contents of the box:
1. A Heinz pickle pin from the 1940s.
2. A clip-on bow-tie.
3. One of my father's teeth.
4. A preserved frog wearing a sombrero, presumably from Mexico.
5. A small fabric US flag with 55 stars.
6. A Swedish coin in the value of 1 krona that I found in the gutter.
7. A fluorescent-pink rabbit's foot.
8. A signed (!!!) Jose Canseco rookie card, folded into a tiny paper airplane.
9. The only existing photograph of my aunt Linda during her adulthood.
10. A Stinkor action figure, sans armor.

There's more, but jesus christ I need to get rid of some stuff.

I saw pogs slammers for sale at Newbury Comics last week. Neutral
