   (TUEN: “I Love A Parade”, Harold Arlen & Ted Koehler)

   I love a grenade!
   With one in each hand,
   I’m taking a stand
   Against any foe!

   I love a grenade!
   I’m pulling the pin
   And tossing it in,
   Then up it will blow!

   The Challenge I missed, so Deadly to run!
   Now I’m feeling pissed! It would have been fun!
   The ‘gators beneath, with dangerous teeth!
   I howl like a heath-en, seethin’ with excitement!

   I love a grenade!
   Now look at me go!
   I’m shouting “Weeoo!”
   Through dangers I wade,
   ‘Cause I … love a grenade!

   “Armaments, Chapter 2, verses 9 to 21: And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, “O Lord, bless this Thy hand grenade that with it Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits, in Thy mercy. . . . First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.  Amen.”

   Dude-ette… That’s like a cartoon realization of one of my favorite “Grand-dad-isms”… “Up to my ass in alligators and they’re chompin’ hard.”

   You know, I had managed to completely forget that Unity actually had a reason for going there.

   Oh, that’s right. There was a point to this whole mess, wasn’t there?

   Still, went a lot better then that time Tip went to the basement for office supplies.

   Fine. Unity, your test is to go at least twelve miles away and chuck grenades.

   I like her mini-Executor necklace. Can’t wait to see Unity certifying things with a STOMP!

      That was one of the Beatles’ songs on the “White Album”.

    Dr. Lee looks rather cheerful in the first panel.

    I just realized, was that last panel an homage to Pitfall?

      Not consciously, but the first panel is an homage to Star Wars.

        I thought the first panel was an homage to “Tumbleweeds”.
