I mean that.<P>Actually, I've never been in or even NEAR Oregon. Don't know anyone there, either. When I was writing the gag, I needed a state and for whatever reason, "Oregon" popped into my head. I liked the way it read in the gag, so I used it.<P>Plus, it seemed funnier to me that Butch was going to put his life on hold to drive cross-country (Butch & I are in Pittsburgh PA) and kill this family, just because the kids pissed him off. <P>------------------
