The Return of Dr. Octagon – Remix Campaign Week 1
Remember when Dr. Dooom murdered Dr. Octagon seven years ago on the opening track to Dooom’s First Come First Served? And remember how this catastrophic event caused the closure of Dr. O’s office in the Bronx and all of his patients were totally hosed because they were in serious need of rectal rebuilding and some of them needed turtles removed from their uteruses?

So obviously we did shots at every bar on the way over there.
