POGS?!?

Unless you mean th good old pogo stick, I am at a loss. Even AcronymFinder.com didn't really help....


POGS - Parents of Gifted Children
POGS - Philippine Obstetrical and Gynecological Society (Foundation), Inc.

Neither of which fit with finding in the closet.

However, this one might...

POGS - Polar Orbiting Geomagnetic Satellite



Cheers
Mick

cause your mom would pick them up, she thought they were something you loved because she saw you look at them once.....

I'm pretty sure that's why my son had so many...

Weird, I ran across my son's a couple days ago.. and put them in a keepsake box. I doubt he'll appreciate them

Actually, I think you're pretty much right on the money.

I was born in 1986 and I REMEMBER POGS!! I had a TON of them, but I never used them. I remember getting sent to detention if u had them at school. They were all the rage!!! A very short-lived rage though.

Think about it: They were just circles of paper!
