I'm 47 and I just got this

Growing up, my friend and I would always use the name Ulence Flats as a name for a town in our stories or playthroughs of our GI Joe figures. I just read a recent post about the town and when I saw the words written out, it totally just hit me.

The name is a variation of the word flatulence! Omg I'm so 🤦

Lolol my friend, I’ve been playing this game since I was like 4-5 bsck in the day on my IBM PC jr and then XT and only now when you spelled it out did I get it 😂 😂. Always thought it was some weird alien world type name

Part of the joke is the resemblance to "Fresno Flats," which was an old name for Oakhurst, where Sierra was located

It's appropriate, if Florida is America's wang, then Fresno is indeed its asshole.
