Attempted OGRE humor.

A little background for the newer folks, despite the trope that says explaining the joke ruins it: OGRE was inspired in part by Keith Laumer's Bolo where individual Bolos were given a three letter prefix which was usually mutated into a name.

All that set up for:

Would the delicatessen be operated by Bolo NGA?

Guess that explains the first contest scenario name:

MK-O-Bolo :)

Multiple versions of the name seem to exist, and you've added another…The actual page has Mark-O Polo, which seeing as the Ogre is "blind", would seem to fit.

That being said, perhaps the name needs clarifying…

But really, we all need to get Ogre this nonsense!

Some of these jokes are medi-Ogre.

Agreed - we have to tread carefully to avoid hex-asperating mods into HVY-handed intervention. GEV it a rest!
