Oggballs. Especially at the . . . err . . . “get-together” after the service.

Now I’m really tempted to get some alphabet beads and make a bracelet that says

**W.W.O.D.?**

The answer, of course, is simple. In almost any given situation, OG SMASH!

Sparrows are CUTE! You shouldn’t kill cute things! Only the ugly things, like, y’know, people.

And now I have the picture in my head of hundreds of seagulls from _Finding Nemo_ chanting “Og? Og? Og? Og? Og? Og? Og? Og? Og? Og? Og?”

“Og?” fits me fine: The tenets of “Og”, plus the ubiquitous “question mark of the Universe”. Any jewelers among the Teeming Millions? A tastefully done sterling silver pendant? Small diamond chips? Fimo?

A Pilgrimage of Oglers would be called an ogcursion.

:mad: Og not make ugly things. Cows cute. Pigs cute. Brocolli cute. Still, see commandment 10. If eat snails, Og not want to know. Cicadas, either. :eek:

I have to love a god or person who finds brocolli (or is it broccoli?) cute!

As some of you may have noticed in the “Aqua Teen Hunger Force” thread over in Cafe Society, there is a rumor of Og making an earthly appearance on the show. No solid confirmation yet, but we’re working on it.

And of course, the act of worshiping Og is Ogling.

Way back when, we used to have the “smashie” icon. Woulda been perfect for Og incarnated.

Broccoli, which I initially spelled wrong, puts out a sexual display that’s about 1/3 the size of the whole plant. That’s something you or I could only dream of doing, and if we could, the whole world would say we were cute, cute, cute. 😃
