Really? Do you mean God? Then say “God.” What the fuck is it with this Og character? Or, is it because your religious persuasion has you convinced that using the Almighty’s name in an internet forum will have you sent straight to hell? Unbelievable. Never in my life have I ever encountered such a thing apart from the SDMB. ---

This board is liberally supplied with catch-phrases and in-jokes. That is one of them. ---

It’s humorous, that’s all. I prefer the FSM anyway. ---

It’s an old joke, one that’s no longer funny. Apparently some raving loony sometime here used to write about God, but he’d get his knickers and fingers in such a twist that he frequently ended up with the typo Og, which sounds something like a cartoon caveman’s name (hence “Og Smash”) and is basically an in-joke about the SDMB. ---

In the name of Og, I still think it’s funny and refuse to stop using Og’s name in vain. Go to hell, fuck yourself with a rose bush wrapped in poison oak, etc. 😛 ---

Go easy on him folks, he’s a Leafs fan, and if you lived up here you’d know that that takes some blows to the head and a lot of beer to become. It’s not his fault if he doesn’t get it. ---
