For as long as Ugg boots have been produced and worn, people have made fun of them. Though sources differ, Uggs are believed to have originated in either New Zealand or Australia.

Aviators in World War I called them "fug boots," according to a Central Coast Express article written in 2004. In the U.S., they were first sold in 1979 by UGG Holdings, Inc.

Recently, the boots have been considered fashionable by virtue of being worn by the likes of Pamela Anderson and Kate Hudson.

The first documented case of the Ugg game being played was in May 2006 by a blogger on the Web site NeoBlog, who claimed to have invented the game in 2005.

K-State's campus was stormed by the Ugg game only this semester, though. Because of popular demand, we once again give you the rules to the Ugg game:

Ugg boots: 1/2 point

Ugg boots and North Face: 1 point

Ugg boots, North Face and sorority symbol: 3 points

Ugg boots, North Face and skirt: 5 points

Must be Ugg brand boots or Ugg slippers to qualify for points
