The POG Blog

The POG Blog

One of the craziest obsessions we all had back in the mid 1990's was wanting to buy and collect those little carboard circles.  Remember? The ones that had all types of designs, pictures and graphics to entice you to spend a quarter on a piece of cardboard that only cost .0000000001 of a cent to make?  Oh yeah, we all loved the pogs. Maybe more so if you were a kid or had kids in the 1990's, but don't lie, even if you were an adult during the mid 90's you still fell into the hype of this odd and random game.  

You may have not known this, but the POG originally got its name from  a brand of juice made from Passionfruit, Orange and Guava.  So take the first letter of each of those wonderful juice ingredients and you get P.O.G. or POG.  The bottle caps of this famous juice were actually the start of the phenomenon of the game that is known as POG. Some POG historians say, the use of these bottle caps and the design of the POG game may have been originated as early as the 1920's in Hawaii, before becoming a mainstream, commercialized game for all to enjoy across this world in the 1990's.  The World POG Federation and the Canada Games Company were responsible for reintroducing this mindless game to the public in the 90's.  Yes, there really was a World POG Federation, and people devoting their time to making this game mainstream during the MTV generation.  They felt that MTV wasn't important enough for the youth of the world, they also felt that the youth of the world needed this time wasting game that cost more to collect than even baseball cards.

No, you will not find POGS for sell here at Cowboom.  You will find wonderful electronics and accessories for sale though.  The real reason for this POG blog, is simply to remind you of an odd phase that swept through the world at one time.  It's ok, we all fell into the hype of the POG.  And I know, after you read this, you are going to dig out your old dusty collection, and call up your buddy from middle school to play a rivoting game to bring back old times.

Enjoy throwing your Slammer down on a pile of circular carboard pieces for old time's sake, and while your at it, consider our deal of the day, the  Refurbished Apple iPod Nano 3rd Gen 4GB MP3 Player - Silver  to play your favorite MTV generation music that you loved so much in the 90's while you play, and  feel like you're in 7th grade all over again!

Directions for a First Date

Directions for a First Date

Her name was Amanda, and oh yeah, this was going to be the best date she ever went on, I knew it.  That's until I was outsmarted by my own GPS System.

I had my car all cleaned out, my best looking outfit on, and the cologne to attract the most beautiful woman I ever met.  However, the first date that was supposed to get me a second, actually got me a smack on the face.

The plan was for dinner at Steve's Steakhouse, and then a rivoting performance of Cats at the Performing Arts Center.  She was a theater major herself, and a fan of steak, so I thought this line up would be ideal.

Dinner went fine, as I had been to Steve's before. We spent an hour and a half on stimulating conversation and the food was fantastic. I was impressed, this theater major and dancer really loved her meat and potatoes.  My kind of woman!  I was really digging her, and I am pretty sure she was digging me at this point.

Now, the Performing Arts Center was across the metro area, and I had never been inside, but passed it once or twice before.  I felt fairly confident in finding the place on my own, so I went ahead and headed down freeway 47 acting like I knew where I was going. That's what you do to impress a girl right, act like you have control and a grip on the situation and not stop for directions?  Well, that's at least how my Dad said he met Mom.  

Anyways, an hour later and 20 minutes into the performance, I was stuck in gridlock traffic on highway 122.  I swear the Performing Arts Center was off 122, well I thought it was.

Amanda, who kept saying she had to go to the bathroom, urged me to pull over to use the bathroom and also to find directions.  I stopped at a gas station and talked to the attendant while she was in the restroom.  My friend at the counter said, I was 30 minutes in the wrong direction.  Yeah, that wasn't good to hear.

Back in the car, she asked how close we were.  I told her well, ummmmm....She could see the expression on my face that I got us lost.

She rolled her eyes, and while doing so, saw on my dashboard my Refurb Insignia NS-CNV10 3.5in Internet-Connected GPS on the side panel of her door.  AH! I thought I hid it well from her.  She picked it up, handed it to me in dissapointment and said, my Dad has one of these, use it!  

Red in my face, I nervously used it's internet connection to the built-in cellular modem to use Google Maps, and she said 'Just Google it OK, to find the venue!'.   Yeah, at that moment I could tell she was annoyed.  Remembering there was bad traffic, she urged me to use the GPS' real-time traffic updates - Up-to-the-minute, real-time traffic information provided by traffic.com. Routes calculated with real-time traffic flow to determine the fastest possible route given the actual speed of traffic on the roads.  
 

 Maybe with this feature we'd see at least the second act?  Nervously, I used the GPS'  Text-to-speech and turn-by-turn voice prompts - allowing me to keep my eyes on the road while navigating with convenient voice guidance.   However, I didn't want to talk much, because I think Amanda was tired of hearing my voice, I already could tell she thought I was just some big talker!

Let's just say this, the night ended with us missing the entire play, driving home in silence using the Refurb Insignia NS-CNV10 3.5in Internet-Connected GPS to find our way back, and her smacking me on the face when I tried to kiss her goodnight.  Amanda, I will miss you.  

So, my advice is, get this GPS system, don't be afraid to use it, as it will get you from A to B back to A safely, and if I would have used it in the first place, I'd already be driving Amanda to see Rent this weekend.
