Dirtydutch 8 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Let's say that the Devil offers to wager his 1kg gold fiddle against your soul, in a game of Pogs. Let's say you estimate you're a 1.4 : 1 favorite. Well, with gold around $650 an ounce, the fiddle should be worth between $20-25,000 (too "tired" to actually do the math). But how can we measure the value of a soul? Is one person's worth more than another's? If so, is someone-- say, a performer-- who's said to have a lot of "soul"-- say, Aretha Franklin-- in possession of a bigger inborn cosmic wagering bankroll than, say, someone who's just a really nice person? Purple Haze, all in my brain (do da do dit dooooooo). Link to post Share on other sites

He prolly uses one of the ones that ruins to Pogs; when you see him coming, you just put them away. Such a cheater. Fucking Craig, and his cheap-o over-kill slammer tactics.

CobaltBlue 662 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I remember when McDonald's was giving away Power Ranger pogs in Happy Meals. I also remember thinking that pogs were pretty stupid. I was big into collecting baseball/comic cards and quickly understood that they lost value if they got damaged. Therefore, I never understood a game where the items are both collectable and inevitably damaged when played with. Link to post Share on other sites
