**Shirley** ask irrelevant question. Og not make own burritos; worshippers make Og’s burritos. Og _could_ eat hum-Og-nous burrito, but Og _would_ not. Og gotta stay in shape.

I looked into the custom-made charm thing a bit. There are several companies who do custom-made silver charms. Some will create a cast silver charm in the design of your choice. Others will engrave artwork on a plain silver disc or other shape. I haven’t priced it out or anything, but it would seem that the latter option would be reasonably priced. I assume they’d feed the design into a computerized engraving machine, and the machine would do the deed. In other words, it would require having an artist actually sculpt the 1920s style death ray.

What the heck does a 1920s style death ray look like anyway?

**Tinkertoy** : I’ve been pondering the TugAhoy thing…do you have any suggestions on how the whole JDT thing could be depicted? I’ll bet that someone somewhere manufactures charms in the shape of an uncircumcised penis, but I’m not sure I’d want to wear it around…

How is Og related to the Og_er_ named [Shrek](http://www.shrek.com/) ? Is Shrek bigger than Og, since he is an og_er_?

When you say “oger”, do you mean “a follower of Og” or something like that? I don’t remember Shrek (an ogre) giving any indications about his spiritual beliefs in the first film. (I’ve yet to see the second.)

And when you ask if Shrek is bigger than Og, are you talking about physical size? If so, if Og is in humanoid form (or, rather, proto-humanoid form), I would think he’d be smaller in size than Shrek, based on how large Shrek is compared to the humans in his films. However, I don’t think size is really relevant when comparing Og to Shrek. Shrek is just one being, whereas Og is so much more. Actually, some would call it sacrilegious to even compare to two, in any way.

_Ogizzle_ **is** _the Hizzle!_

Anyhoo…

You could just depict the apparatus itself, shown at [tugahoy.com](http://tugahoy.com) (probably not work-safe). However, I doubt many people besides JDT would recognize it right away.

Would OG please smash the heck out of [UG](http://www.uglyhouses.com/) (the offspring of Captain Caveman and Fred Flintstone)? He’s not just annoying, but this seems to be a case of possible name infringement, at the very least.
