pogs.
I'm going to do it. I'm going to make my own pog. Back in 1994, when pogs were popular, there was a thing I bought called a Pog Maker. You chose the image from a sheet of paper and cut it to fit on a sticky pog. Nobody knows what happened to it, but this is the same idea. While I'm shopping at OfficeMax for tubes for Captain Bruce, I'm also going to see if I can find cardboard that most resembles what pogs were made with, print out a label with the pog image on it, and, with an exacto knife (I wonder if I have to get one of those, too!) cut the cardboard to a pog size (which I measured: 4.1 cm. Not many people use the metric system in the US, but I thought it would give a more accurate size than inches, which are bigger.) I don't know how I get these crazy ideas, but it will make me happy, plus I'll be the first person since the mid '90s to create my own pog. Actually, I do know how I got this one: Looking at my pog collection and the wonderful designs on them led me to think to myself "Hey! I can make pog designs!" I'll have to get some bigger labels, too. Something that I can put a 4.1 cm image on. Anyway, here's my first design. And, by the way, if you have any, I'd like to buy them from you. I've been pondering how these went out of style while cards are still being made. Beats the heck outta me...
