Remember pogs?

I was just thinking about them, I actually still have a bunch, and a few stompers I believe.

For the youngins, pogs is what we did in the 90's when video games didn't have 3d blood and not every single person had the internet, heck the internet was vaguely even the internet.

 

slammers!!!
holographics!!!

 

apparently i still have mine...found them in a container a while ago.

 

Pogs were fuckin awesome

My dad would take me to the pawn shop about once a week to scope out new ones

I had the most badass slammer in town and was idolized, a God among mere mortals

 

hhaah,, I cut grade school once to get a Stomper..

 

I think pogs had their glory for us in 3rd grade, 4th grade too probably but in 4th grade I remember at least in my school yoyo's became huge, then pokemon took over in 5th grade.

 

fuck pogs.. it was all about MAGIC: The Gathering

 

i had 3 binders worth, they got stolen 2ish years ago... hahah

 

nerd alert!

 

dude same here, yoyos were the shit and still are, pokemon was crazy, i dealt cards and played in school and got in trouble
raz i had binders too hahaha

 

the funny thing is a lot of elementary schools tried banning pokemon/pogs because you know, you kept what you won. But I think it was 4th grade, we use to go up behind this tree at recess and play poker with our lunch money haha. Oh man they were pissed when they saw us one day.

 

i miss the 90s....life was so simple

 

life was simple, i mean the internet is awesome in the fact vs watching tv/reading completely alone right now i can go onto forums with people, i have instant access to information.

But at the same time, shit was simple.

 

Stole the words right out of my mouth. I remember trying to play Dungeons and Dragons with some people and i guess some person was appointed to some privilege position and decided what happened to us and our characters, the shit did not make sense to me at all and I did not like it, but hey i figure i would try it.

Fuck yah Pogs were dope.

Does anyone remember Battle Beast?

 

fucking yes.. this corner store we used to go to held raffles/contests and the prizes sometimes were these huge like 5ft tall Pog storage tubes with a cool snap cap top.. I filled at least 4 of them in my lifetime...

 

D&D != M:TG

personally.. i don't remember anyone being into POGS at my school

 

We used to flip baseball cards, theres a waste of money..

 

wholy shit! I almost forgot about those. I had a butt load of em

 

I have a bunch of holographic ones still in my basement. Can't remember for the life of me what they're for though, lol! Also, you played D&D with an asshole Dungeon Master! You need to bend the rules a bit, and have a very good story teller and smoke a lot of dope, then it's fun as hell!

 

Yeah I still think pogs are the shit... the way the shiny shiny and the cool pictures and shit on there theyre like candy for the eyes, Youd have to go to a comic store or something to buy them which made the experience that much more enriching.. that was when I was a little kid, like 2nd and 3rd grade...
