Dregs

It took me a moment to remember what the title referenced…do YOU remember?

Blowing up New Jersey is great fun and all, but we should not let that distract us from the serious issue of the youth of our nation playing with intercontinental ballistic missiles at younger and younger ages. I ask you, when do we say "no younger?"

Fun fact: The panel of the explosion is drawn over a picture of the actual quickstop used to film clerks. And Kevin Smith didn't even mention that we were the ones to burn it down in Clerks 2. We should sue.

I don't think we ever used this background again. Do you see where this time saving endeavor is falling short of it's noble goal.

Fun Fact: the cities listed on the bombardment board are as follows: New York, Chicago, Cleveland, Cincinatti, Montreal, Moscow, St. Loius, Erie, London, Pittsburg, New Jersey, Las Vegas, L.A., St Petersberg, Tokyo, Mt. Rushmore (not a city), Fragglerock, Walt Disney World (Tells people it is not a city), Tanis, Thailand, Baltimore, Dayton, Brooklyn, Kansas, Nashville, Berlin, Velsuvious (not a city but did destroy one), Bejing, Paris, Detroit, Cairo, Alderaan (not touching this one), New Zealand (do you think they would be offended?), Normandy (not sure where this is let alone if it is a city or other), Alexandreta, McDonald's HQ (I have a lot of anger issues), Washington D.C. (I am not a terrorist government people, this is a comic), Fort Knox (Still not a terrorist), My brother….(how did he get on the list, San Andreas (don't care for those games), The Vatican (not a Satan worshiper either), Salt Lake, Hong Kong, Sim City (love those games), Munich, Venice, San Fransisco (I left my kidney there), Cuba (I love doing that), Sydney, Gunga Din (don't know), and the Alamo (See I did remember it).

The amount of typos above mortifies me. But I transcribed them as I originally spelled them. I had forgotten the Jones references.
