A brief snippet from _Oh, Og!_: Og: I swear tell whole truth, nothing but truth, so help me…me! there are some hushed giggles in the courtroom DA: Tell me, “Og” (does the ‘quotes’ move with fingers), how can you expect this jury to believe that you are who you say you are, hmmm?

I really like the “Gotcha OG!” t-shirt idea. I don’t wear charm bracelets, but I like the individual charms (tkae them apart and make a changeable necklace. How about a coffee mug - “Java OG!” ---

I was definitely going to include the 1920’s style death ray charm, but I was trying to keep it to things that probably already existed and/or could be easily modified. There I go being practical again. I guess I forgot that in Og all things are possible. I’m not just whistling dixie here. I wanna make this thing. I wonder how hard it would be to get some custom charms made? Maybe not hard at all, depending on the style. ---
