I played Pogs in the '90s.

Come to think of it I might have a couple slammers still left around here somewhere

[kb4ns]

I faintly remember them now after looking at the wiki article.

[Punisher84]

I've still got a few tubes full of them and slammers. I remember even playing in a tournament at Hickory Ridge mall here in Memphis when I was little lol

[Guest KimberChick]

POG has a different meaning for me now, thanks to Halfpint.

But yeah, it was a short-lived fad back in the mid-90s. I think I have some somewhere.

[Il Duce]

Anyone over the age of 30 that knows wtf these Pogs are has some 'splainin' to do.

[Guest 6.8 AR]

Yeh, the last thing I remember that even sounded like that was "Mog"

from "Space Balls"

[Guest db99wj]

A game from the 90's eh, I was too busy drinking and chasing to know wth that was.

[Daniel]

I know what they are but I missed the game thankfully.

Kimberchick is refering to a P.O.G. Pronounced like pogue. Personnel Other than Grunt

Pogue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pogue is a pejorative military slang term used to describe non-infantry, non-combat soldiers, staff, and other rear-echelon or support units.[1] A related term is the acronym REMF, or "rear-echelon mother ****er". "Pogue" frequently describes those who don't have to undergo the stresses that the infantry does, and is generally used as a diminutive for any non-infantry personnel who disagrees or impedes the wants of a "grunt".

This term has somewhat been replaced by the word Fobbit which refers to non-combat arms soldiers who never leave their Forward Operating Base.[citation needed] FOBBIT is a combination of the acronym FOB and term Hobbit from Tolkien's Lord of the Rings series. Hobbits never leave the Shire. REMFs and Pogues never leave the FOB. Hence the term FOBBIT.

I loved Pogs when I was in elementary school. I think I still have my complete set of Hardee's Apollo 13 pogs and slammer in my attic somewhere.

When I was a kid we played with rocks.

So did we. And I have a hole in my head to prove it.

I used to rock at Pogs. I was unbeatable at Tournaments. I had a slammer that was solid bronze with finger grooves made into a Ying-Yang. I could flip an entire stack with that baby. They have got to be around here somewhere, I'm sure I still have them.

By the way, you did say OVER 30.

[Motasyco]

The only slammers I remember I had at a bar. Well, and maybe a place you wound up after a bar.

[laktrash]

Don't remember pog as much as I do Alf I thought he was a riot

[Magiccarpetrides]

omg lol....i was so addicted to that damn game and then they banned it at school saying it was a form of gambling cause some cry babys complained when they lost. I used to have a brass slammer so heavy it got "banned" cause it would cut up the pogs lol....ahh....the good ol' days.

[Guest Mad4rcn]

One of the best toys I ever bought was a talking Alf,you put the casette in the back and hit play and the mouth and eyes would move.My son used to sit and laugh at that thing for hrs,me too.Now he spends his time patroling the streets of this country and other countries as well,my how time flies. Still have the Alf too,maybe a grand baby toy...lol
