Does anyone remember POGS? The cardboard ’milkcaps’ that you stacked in a pile and "slammed" with a plastic ’kini’ to try and flip them and win them. I was looking through a box of my old kids stuff at my parents house yesterday and found my collection, i used to love em and had all the official sets 1-3 and many promos and stuff.
I always thought they were bigger thing in America as it was made in America as it originated in hawaii.
Do any of you Yanks still have any or used to play it? |

Hey, I remember those!
I do know that I don’t have any of my old ones anymore. I only ever had about fifteen of the things, and never used them. I don’t remember why I even had any. I think I got them in a cereal box, or something. |

Oh yeah, I remember those, perhaps a little better than some (thanks to being an old fart by now ). I was into them very briefly...like, for a couple weeks. Then I moved on. I was pretty ADD back then....  |

We didn’t call them ’kinis’ around here... there were SLAMMERS.
My family had a pog maker. It was awesome. But I barely remember any of it. |
Riddle 9
When I came to Abraham I let him live just a moment longer. When I came to Moses I saved his life more than once. But the salmon... I regret to say I had a hand in its death.
