Go for it, Mona!

‘Morning, Gweedo!

Oh, Mona! You slay me! Historically accurate reproduction firearms? Pogs? And leather goods?! Michael is way too freaky–run for your lives!

Ok I guess I’ll go ahead and ask. What are pogs??

I want to see what’s in that box, too. Sticks and stones may break my bones but that’s an acceptable risk.

@Commentator From Wikipedia: Pogs is a game that was popular during the 1990s.[1][2][3] The word “pog” also refers to the discs used to play the game. The name originates from POG, a brand of juice made from passionfruit, orange and guava; the use of the POG bottle caps to play the game pre-dated the game’s commercialization

Pogs as found on Wiki

The round cardboard disks were used back from around the 40s (maybe earlier) to the 60s to close the tops of glass milk bottles. They had a tab that you could pull. I remember them from my father’s family dairy - this was before homogenezation. Milk was vat pasteurized for several hours back then.

Most people don’t know how good milk can taste these days.

I wish I could find some pastuerized milk. That was good stuff. The more they work to kill the bugs, the less flavour & vitamins.

Just don’t bring any of those “leather goods” or “historically accurate” firearms back to the apartment.

See if he’s got any historically accurate Nazi memorabilia.
