Our Og gets around:

[The Secret World of Og](http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0306059/)

[The Og books](http://www.trussel.com/prehist/crump/ogs.htm#T215)

Where else does Og choose to manifest?

Humbug. Og was old when Crump was born. You’d think it was ludicrous if a modern Jesus Ramirez claimed he was the source of all the talk about “Jesus.” Now this review of the 1922 Og claims this _Boys’ Life_ Og is the original Og. Nonsense. Tommyrot. Og is that Og is.

My dad was born in 1917. When I, as a small child, knocked over a can of paint on the carpet, Dad cried out to Og. He didn’t scream, “Crump!” So, you can see, Og and I go way back.

Pseudo Sumerian/Necronomicon chanting meets **Bring It On** in a religious cheerfest.

I’m afraid. I’m _very_ afraid.

Og and his buddy Thag have been popping around the Internet Oracle Digests for quite some time.
