Why in hell's name do we not have a page for "The Pogues"?

I mean, really, why not? Do we not like Irish/Londoner punk and folks banging metal dishes in their skulls or something?

If any band should be the house band for this bunch of merry pranksters, it should be the Pogues. Agree? Disagree?

Giving me that kind of power is on the level of giving toddlers access to loaded SL Rs. Still...

What's a pogue?

Phonetic form of the acronym "POG", which is "Personnel Other than Grunts" if I remember right.

Actually it’s a shortened, Anglicized version of the Irish phrase “pogue mahone,” which apparently means “kiss my ass.”

Huh, I was only familiar with it in the context of the military acronym, and it seemed likely, given who started the thread.

The saying is "póg mo thóin," which somehow got corrupted in pronunciation, then in spelling. And then it became a band.

OP, I salute you. The Pogues and I have been friends for a very long time, and I never understood why they didn't have a page.

Again, [up]why didn't you just make a page for them?

Creating pages is pretty easy. I mean, I'm a total noob who posts off an iPad 24/7 and I still made a page for the Irish Defences Forces. (Note to Self, finish that page some day.

I'm a lazy ass and just expected someone else to do it. Apparently not.

I will start off by saying I find listening to Pogues on vinyl is all around better than any other media.

Had crazy fandom been a metric for page creation, y'all would have full pages for Coil, This Heat, Bügsküll, Have A Nice Life, Prurient, Fushitsusha, Donald Barthelme, John Hawkes (the novelist), Jerzy Kosinski, Thomas Wiloch and Sent From The Moon right now. But... we don't. Because I am but one man.
