Okay, I’m seeing this “Og Smash!” bullshit beginning to proliferate here and all around the web like a disease. I’d like to know just who this Og person is. So, I turned to our old buddy Google. What does G Love [tell me](http://www2.wmin.ac.uk/cgi-bin/oracle/d=996,q=06)? > [@](#): > > What is the different of these two removable cartridge drive, Iomega zip 100 and Syquest SparQ? > > Og here. Og know answer. Og tell you answer: > > Og take big spiky club. Og smash SparQ drive. SparQ drive hard. SparQ drive not break in many pieces. SparQ drive not fun. > > Og smash zip drive with big spiky club. Zip drive not hard. Zip drive break in great many pieces. Zip drive all over cave floor. Og laugh. Ogwa laugh. Oglings laugh. > > Zip drive great big fun. Og want more zip drives. You give Og great many zip drives. So. Og is a computer hardware reviewer, right? Well, I question his methodology. Let’s see some credentials, Mr. Og. Then, there’s this wonderful concept of a role-playing game called [Og](http://www.skotos.net/storybuilders/OgIdeas.html). But it doesn’t tell me who Og is or where he came from. **Jello** was good enough to refer me to [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=103615), where I discover to my surprise that many of you appear to _worship_ this Og fellow. Yet I remain unilluminated. It’s just a big Oggy world out there, but I’m only allowed to speculate on the cave-wall shadows. I’d like to ask about this as a General Question, but I already know exactly what the answer is going to be. So I’ll just go directly to my response. Piss up a rope, you Internet Neandertals! Since you’re not going to tell me, you better hope I don’t score a couple of thermobaric bombs, 'cause I’m pretty sure I know where you live. ---

Og smite!!! Ok, ok. Some guy made a really stupid pit thread about how all religion is bad, and kept mis-spelling of as og. Some people took the ball and ran with it to try and hijack the thread (he really was being an ass) and it snowballed. Happy now? ---

I don’t care what anyone tells you about a passing biblical reference or the bizarre misspellings of a pit troll – Og is real, and he is a deity with a very short fuse. Some think he is the Babylonian god of forced sodomy; this of course is not accurate. Sodomy is just of passing interest to pre-history’s most violent troglodytic divine being. From an early Akkadian text, Og’s disciple, Ninus, had this to say: > [@](#): > > Og Smash! Thank you Ninus, that was most elucidating. Clearly Og is the god of smiting. Invoke him with caution, he is also an unpredictable and cruel deity. ---

Check out this site: (probably the passing biblical reference mentioned above) [http://www.ccel.org/a/anonymous/jasher/85.htm](http://www.ccel.org/a/anonymous/jasher/85.htm) Start at around verse 22 ---

OG!! OG!! OG!! Heed **Waverly** ’s warning. Og doesn’t mind [mixing it up with the elder gods](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=104146), either. As to computers: Og sort rubbish! Computers go in bin! ---

I note that speakers of one or more of the Scandinavian languages invoke him constantly: > [@](#): > > Definisjonen av **terrorisme** er gjort mer presis **og** mindre **omfattende**. Now, as an American with a God-given right to monolingualism, I don’t know what the hell [these guys](http://odin.dep.no/odin/norsk/index-b-n-a.html) are talking about. But obviously, Og has something to do with fat-assed terrorists. And, the guy lives in a cave. Sound familiar? _I thought so_. ---

Current count is at 2 in MPSIMS and now 1 in the BBQ Pit in the last 2 days. So are we taking bets? Think we can hit double digits? We must have hit the board-state of Og saturation. Weird how everyone asks at the same time. Too bad ‘Og’ isn’t searchable on the SDMB. ---

Here are a few things to consider… 1. Many people are saying “Og” a lot around here. 2. If an inside joke is used enough, people eventually get tired of it and stop using it. 3. Hi, Opal! :rolleyes: ---

> [@](#): > > I note that speakers of one or more of the Scandinavian languages invoke him constantly. Especially in Icelandic. Which leads me to think, perhaps Iceland is the giant playground of Og. Og’s last refuge, maybe. I mean, it’s a desolate, rocky, remote island with tons of volcanoes. Which leads me to ponder the fact that Iceland has no army. Sure, they SAY it’s due to the American military base there. That’s just a cover-up. The whole island is under the all-powerful protection of Og. And who would win in a fight: Cthulhu, Eris, “Bob”, or Og? ---

Ok, I admit it. I’m not really an atheist. I am…a devout “Oglodyte.” The problem is, people look at me strangely when I go about my daily devotions (quite public, per Og’s Commandments): punching brick walls while drooling and grunting. Bystanders also find my saying Og’s grace before meals very disturbing: I must hold my hands palm-upward in a supplicating position while farting and tap dancing to “Tiptoe Through the Tulips,” by Tiny Tim. And it **must** be on vinyl, no CDs allowed. I’m sharing these secrets of the Oglodyte Cabal in the hope of winning converts from the SDMB. Please keep them confined to this thread or…OG SMASH! ---
