During the “Winte of our Missed Content” Tuba graciously set up an alternate board for us to play at until the SDMB was up and running again. On the alt board, there was a smiley called “Og” and it smashed stuff. ---

The birth of “Og Smash!” – 1997 I don’t know who brought it over here, but [this is its first appearance on Usenet](http://groups.google.ca/groups?selm=E4429v.IuJ%40nonexistent.com&oe=UTF-8&output=gplain). ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by cuauhtemoc \* > \*\*Ah yes, I remember the smashie smilie from the temp board. I didn’t know people were calling him “Og” though. \*\* He wasn’t. He was referred to as “Smashie”, and we loved him. As **Protesilaus** pointed out, Og was created from a typo by SeaHawk in the sentence: > [@](#): > > How is it possible for a grown person to believe that Jesus is the son of god… and that sort **og** rubbish ? **SeaHawk** would consistently misspell “of” as “og”. It was **racinchikki** that really took it and ran with the “Og smash” business. The crowning moment for Og was in [Cthulu v. Og: The Battle of the Gods!](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=104146). Poor little Timmy, we never knew thee. ---
