that class never really worked and has been removed from the new version of WALDO FYI, it’s not a military thing and shouldn’t be used as such

Don’t worry this is a suburban defense system. Purely civilian targets.

I created it after joining my neighborhood NextDoor.

Reminds me of an ancient SNL skit with Dan Aykroyd and perhaps Gilda Radner or another gal on the team where the skit is about Aykroyd wandering his backyard talking about all the annoying things about his neighbors and how he has a solution for it now. He has a neighborhood nuclear device that he can use any time of them crosses a line. The skit ends with a mushroom cloud appearing over his fence as he grins that Aykroyd grin if I remember it right.

Anyway, I have never found this skit mentioned in any of the documentation of the show but I know I saw it live, on Saturday night back before Belushi snorted his last snort.
