So I found
recently - in an overlooked corner of an infrequently used drawer of the desk at
which I am currently sitting - two
long-lost relics of a past age: the early Nineties.
POGS, DUDE!
I closed my hand
over them and gave a prolonged fist-pump. I
surveyed the room over my shoulder: no witnesses. No matter. If anyone had seen me in my
celebration, I would have only to explain to them what bounty I had just
attained, and what a wealthy gentleman I was about to become, and they would
undoubtedly join me in celebration. After all, pogs in the year 2011 will
sell for a considerable amount of money, since there's a black market for them
right now, I believe. I'll check numbers later. More fist pumping
ensued.
These pogs will
sell for extra, I think. They're unique because of that special corporate
touch: they're coupons for Dairy Queen! On the front of the pogs
are beautifully rendered scenes from the popular Dennis the Menace comic strip. The reverse side
reads, Present this coupon and
receive one free Dairy Queen Treat. You have your choice of a DQ
Sandwich, Dilly Bar or a 3 oz. cone.
