POG Tournament!

Ok, stop the presses! This is the biggest story of the year! Screw the seal hunt. Who cares about the Olympics? War where? Forget all this, POG is back!

Funrise Toys have revived one of the biggest fads of the late 90s, POG. A game where you stack a bunch of milk caps and throw a heavier milk cap at them.

St. John's, and all Loblaws/Dominion stores across Canada are taking part in the revived craze by holding a national POG championship. Oh yes, that's right. This Saturday, April 8th, a POG tournament will be held at various Dominion and Loblaws stores across the country. Funrise Toys has announced that they have 116 stores which have agreed to host the event on April 8th. Aside from Newport Beach in California, the only part of America which is getting in on the action is Dallas Texas, which will be holding 8 tournament throughout April and May, including one at the Dr. Pepper StarCenter, home of the Dallas Stars, which will be the largest official POG tournament in the history of the game.

It's sad that I'm this excited about something like this, but man... everyone loved POG as a kid. Although I certainly won't play in this tournament, I may certainly drop by to check it out.

I remember playing this shit in grade school. Me and my best bud used to play all the timer. I had like a huge plastic container made to hold them and I remember having, what were they called, slammers? Big ass metal POGs to slam a stack with. Good times.
