THE TWELVE DAYS OF POGMAS - DAY 5

 OH NO

MOM IS MAD AT ALL THESE TERRIBLE POGS WITH SKULLS AND VIPERS AND DEMONS AND AWFUL FOX SHOW CHARACTERS ON THEM. UTTERLY UNWHOLESOME TRASH. HOW DO WE TRICK HER INTO THINKING THESE THINGS ARE EDUCATIONAL SO SHE DOESN'T THROW THEM ALL DOWN THE GARBAGE CHUTE

1994 TROV USA WORLD CAPS(?) VANUATU FLAG

 

OMG AN ACTUAL POG MANUFACTURER WHAT I CAN FIND SOME INFO ON. SO FROM WHAT I CAN GATHER TROV (WITH A LONG O WITH A LINE OVER IT THAT I AM NOT GOING TO BOTHER LOOKING UP THE ASCII CODE FOR) SOLD PACKS OF FIVE CAPS WITH A 'TROUNCER' BECAUSE I GUESS SLAMMER WAS TRADEMARKED. IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS A JUMBLE OF DIFFERENT DESIGN SUBSETS INCLUDING THIS ONE OF ODDBALL FLAGS. THE TROV CAPS WERE NUMBERED WHILE THE TROV USA ONES JUST GAVE UP ALL PRETENSE AT COLLECTIBILITY AND THREW EVERYTHING OUT THERE UNNUMBERED. CHECK OUT THIS ONE WITH THE BITCHIN 90S WOODPECKER DESIGN. I AM ASSUMING ALL OF THIS BUT YOU CAN GO ON EBAY AND BUY A PACK FOR YOURSELF TO CONFIRM FOR LIKE 14 BUCKS BUT FOR A BUCK MORE YOU CAN GET THAT UNICORN TRAPPER KEEPER INSTEAD WHICH IS A MUCH BETTER VALUE IMHO 

 

 

 OH WAIT, THAT'S A BOARD GAME. 

EH, STILL A BETTER VALUE

VANUATU IS AN ARCHIPELAGO OF ISLANDS IN OCEANIA WITH CORAL REEFS AND COOL CAVE PAINTINGS AND EUROPEANS FUCKED IT ALL UP LIKE THEY DO WITH EVERYTHING AND YOU CAN READ ABOUT IT HERE. IT WAS VERY INGENIOUS OF TROV TO MIX IN THESE FLAG CAPS WITH ALL THE OTHER NONSENSE AS IT MIGHT MAKE MOM PAUSE BEFORE BURNING THE THINGS WHILE ALSO PROVIDING SOME LOWER-STATUS POGS IN THE PACK THAT COULD GET SLAMMED OR LOST IN A WAGER TO PROTECT THE PRIZED EIGHTBALL OR YIN-YANG SYMBOL CAPS IN THE COLLECTION. YOU ABSOLUTELY CAN'T DENY THAT THESE ARE EDUCATIONAL NOW, I HAD NO IDEA VANUATU EVEN EXISTED BEFORE THIS POG CAME INTO MY LIFE AND I BET THE SAME GOES FOR YOU TOO

I CAN'T HIT POST WITHOUT COMMENTING ON THAT GREAT BACK. LOGOS IN EVERY SIZE GOING IN ALL DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. EVERY BACK DIFFERENT YET EXACTLY THE SAME.A TIP OF THE HAT TO THE DESIGNER WHO SCRAMBLED UP THOSE LOGOS SO NICELY

PRETTY SURE FOX NEWS WOULDN'T APPROVE OF SOME FOREIGNER'S FLAG ON THEIR PRECIOUS XMAS TREE SO WE'LL PUT THIS ONE ON A REGULAR NON- FLAMING TREE
