THE TWELVE DAYS OF POGMAS - DAY 1

 WHERE THE HELL HAVE I BEEN FOR THE LAST FOUR MONTHS????

ON TWITTER MOSTLY. BUT DON'T GO THERE, IT'S A TERRIBLE PLACE FULL OF IDIOTS. LIKE ME. OTHER THAN THAT I'VE MOSTLY BEEN WORKING OR PLAYING VIDEO GAMES


I BEAT STARDEW VALLEY AND REACHED THE PERFECTION AND GOT THE SUMMIT CREDITS CUTSCENE BUT THE GAME GLITCHED (AGAIN) AND I NEVER GOT MY ACHIEVEMENT FOR CATCHING ALL THE FISH OR GETTING ALL THE STARDROPS SO I GUESS I GOTTA DO IT ALL AGAIN BUT BEFORE THAT I AM TRYING A FEW OF THE OTHER GAMES I'VE BEEN HOARDING. LUCK BE A LANDLORD IS A COOL WEIRD GAMBLING GAME. SIRALIM IS POKEMON FOR D&D NERDS. I'M TRYING BREATH OF THE WILD FINALLY AND I'LL GIVE IT A FAIR CHANCE BUT SO FAR I HATE IT. I LIKE TO RUN AROUND IN 2D AND MASH B TO MURDER THINGS. I DO NOT LIKE TO RUN AROUND IN 3D AND MASH B TO MURDER THINGS RIGHT BEFORE GETTING KILLED BY A STUPID FUCKING GOBLIN COMPLETELY OFF SCREEN WITH A BOW AND ARROW. BUT! I WILL GIVE IT A CHANCE

A MAIN REASON I HAVE ABANDONED REALITY FOR THE VIDEO GAME REALM IS THAT SOMEHOW 2021 IS EVEN MORE FUCKED UP THAN 2020. IN 2020 WE JUST HAD A PLAGUE COMING TO KILL US ALL AND THE WORST ELECTION EVER TO DEAL WITH. 2021 GAVE US BOTH OF THOSE THINGS STILL GOING STRONGER THAN EVER ALONG WITH THE HORRIBLE REALIZATION THAT ANYONE IN A POSITION OF POWER THAT CAN DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. AND NEXT YEAR WE HAVE MIDTERMS! CAN'T DO ANYTHING NOW, WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH MIDTERMS!!! SQUID GAME THE WHOLE LOT OF THEM. FOR THIS YEAR'S SYMBOLIC CHRISTMAS TREE I CONTINUE LAST YEAR'S THEME OF A BURNING CHRISTMAS TREE FROM A FOX BRANDED ENTERTAINMENT SHOW


ALSO! I HAVE FINALLY STARTED DOING CARD THINGS AGAIN. I STILL HAVE NOT BEEN TO MY LOCAL CARD SHOP WHICH MAKES ME VERY SAD BUT I DID GO TO A DIFFERENT CARD SHOP YESTERDAY AND IT WAS AWFUL. ALMOST NOTHING WAS PRICED AND THE STUFF THAT HAD A PRICE TAG WAS STOOPID EXPENSIVE. I DID MANAGE TO GET A RONALD ACUñA CARD, MY FAVORITE GARBAGE PAIL KIDS CARD AND A SHOEBOX TO PUT ALL THE JUNK I HAVE PILED ON MY DESK INTO FOR FIVE BUCKS. PLUS! I SWIPED A LARGE PILE OF BASKETBALL CARDS FROM THE FREE 'FOR THE KIDS' BOX AT THE FRONT SO IT ALL WORKED OUT OK. I ALSO WENT TO A CARD SHOW AND FOUND A DUDE WITH A LOADED QUARTER BOX AND A NICKEL BOT AND WENT HAM ON THEM. I HAVE ALSO UNEXPECTEDLY ACQUIRED A SHITLOAD OF VINTAGE KELLOGG'S CARDS AT THAT SHOW AND THE FLEA MARKET AS WELL WHICH IS VERY FUN. MY INITIAL PLAN FOR THE TWELVE DAYS OF CARDMAS WAS TO SHOW OFF ALL THE KELLOGG'S CARDS I PICKED UP BUT THEN THE ACTUAL KELLOGG'S DECIDED TO TREAT THEIR EMPLOYEES LIKE DOGSHIT SO FUCK KELLOGG'S AND FUCK BREAKFAST CEREAL IN GENERAL

BUT! A FESTIVUS MIRACLE! I REMEMBERED I HAD SCANNED SOME STUFF A LONG TIME AGO IN A FIT OF CLARITY BECAUSE I KNEW EVERYTHING WAS GOING TO BE ROUGH FOR A LONG LONG TIME AND I NEEDED SOME IMAGES TO STASH AWAY IN A 'BREAK GLASS IN CASE OF SAVE CHRISTMAS' EMERGENCY SITUATION. AND THAT SITUATION IS NOW! SATURNALIA IS SAVED! LADIES AND GENTLEMANS AND ENBY FRIENDS! WELCOME TO THE 

TWELVE DAYS OF POGMAS

1994? S.G.I WINGED VIPERS #10


POGS! THEY WERE BRIEFLY COOL FOR A COUPLE WEEKS TWO YEARS AGO! BUT I HAVE A SMALL PILE OF THEM HOARDED AWAY BECAUSE I COLLECT ANY DAMN THING THAT COMES MY WAY. I KNOW ALMOST NOTHING ABOUT POGS. THE GAME STARTED OUT WITH KIDS USING MILK CAPS FROM LUNCH TO CREATE A SILLY GAME. CAPITALISM CO-OPTED THE FUN TO SELL JUNK TO KIDS. ADULTS STARTED BUYING THEM AND FUCKED UP THE WHOLE THING. THAT'S ABOUT IT. THERE IS ONE OFFICIAL POG MANUFACTURER AND A WHOLE FLOCK OF BOOTLEG COMPANIES JUMPING ON THE TREND. EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A COPYRIGHT DATE* COMPANY NAME, TITLE AND POG NUMBER I CAN'T FIND A SINGLE THING ON THE INTERWEBS ABOUT THIS POG. THE COMPANY SGI MADE A FEW NEAT SETS WITH SKULLS AND MONSTERS AND ONE SET WITH ART FROM CHAD COOPER BUT I CAN'T FIND THIS ONE ANYWHERE. BUT NOW THANKS TO BLOGGER I HAVE BROUGHT THIS POG TO THE WORLD. HELLO POG ENTHUSIASTS LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ON THIS POG AND OR POG SET! UNFORTUNATELY I DON'T KNOW SHIT! EXCEPT THAT A FLOCK OF SNAKES WITH MOTHER FUCKING WINGS IS BAD-ASS


THE BACK IS SADLY BLANK. POGS ARE SOMEWHAT LIKE T-206 CARDS IN THAT HALF THE FUN IS SEEING THE COOL DESIGNS ON THE BACK BUT THERE ARE ALSO A LARGE AMOUNT OF BLANK BACKS EITHER DUE TO LAZINESS OR BOOTLEGGERY. THERE SHALL BE FUN BACKS IN THE FUTURE, I PROMISE YOU


ONE OF THE REASONS I CHOSE POGS FOR THE CHRISTMAS POSTS IS THAT THEY NATURALLY RESEMBLE CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS. UNFORTUNATELY I AM A MSPAINT LUDDITE AND CUTTING OUT A CIRCLE TO CUT AND PASTE AN IMAGE IS A PAIN IN THE ASS IN PAINT. AND DUE TO USING A REAL PICTURE SHRINKING THE IMAGE DOWN TO AN ORNAMENT SIZE LOOKS LIKE CRAP. BUT HEY! EVERYTHING'S A MESS RIGHT NOW SO WE'RE JUST GOING TO ROLL WITH IT!!!!1

MORE POGS TO COME AS LONG AS BLOGGER COOPERATES!!!11111

MURRY CARSTMESS EVERBODYYYYYYY

*AT LEAST I THINK THAT SAYS 1994. THE DESIGN ATE THE LAST DIGIT
