IT'S THE HEADLESS TURKEYCLAUS!
sinkhole threatens to swallow city
Normally a motorist driving through the area might not find a sign like that unusual. The city is, after all, home to Carlsbad Caverns National Park, a network of some of the largest natural caverns in North America. But on this occasion, the sign's sharp colors make the message clear: what's happening in Carlsbad is not natural.
The massive sinkhole currently running through the center of town was created by the oil industry. It was formed over three decades as oil field service companies pumped fresh water into a salt layer more than 400 feet below the surface and extracted several million barrels of brine to help with drilling.
If it collapses, the unnatural cavern is likely to take with it a church, a highway, several businesses and a trailer park. Massive fissures currently cleave through town, and one business owner has said that structural cracks have even formed in his store.
"It would be like a bomb going off in the middle of town," said Jim Griswold, a hydrologist with the New Mexico Oil Conservation Division. The problem is so severe that the Eddy County Commission declared a state of emergency last Thursday, and they hope that state and federal funds will arrive in time to fill the cavern before it collapses.

RIP University of Georgia Mascot UGA VII
This item is about Uga 7 not Uga 8. Uga 8 article info click THIS
The University of Georgia's English Bulldog Mascot, UGA VII passed on suddenly November 19, 2009. He was only four years old and had just recently been examined by the university's veterinary department and determined to be healthy. Due to his sudden passing there will be insufficient time to prepare his replacement for Saturday's game hosting Kentucky.
*Note: Obviously overcome with grief the team lost when their quarterback repeatedly threw the ball into the arms of the defense just a few feet from him.
**Second note: It looks like the grief continues as the 2010 version of the team installed a freshman high school quarterback to lead the team to a Georgia Bulldog modern record of losses and is heading for a new record of players arrested for various legal violations in the community. Soon the coaches and players may be arrested for impersonating the Georgia Bulldog football team.

Whose turn is it?
Whose turn is it?
I woke him the last time.
Un-uh! I did! I remember 'cause he bit me twice. That cut through my collar and I have not found it yet.
He's a lousy drunk always expecting us to watch out for him to keep the humans from running over him.
Fat Mannequins and Nothing But Polyester Clothing At JCPenney's?
JC Penney's is one of the stores I do shop for casual attire and I can't say I have ever seen a fat mannequin. I think I might have spotted a "pregnant" mannequin some years ago when the wife was with child. As to the 'nothing but polyester clothing' in Penny's from what I saw just three days ago was a line of shirts and trousers of 100% cotton with a few casual shirts that were 65% cotton 35% polyester. If you want something wash and wear that keeps its crease and looks ironed when its not then you will get the combination fabric. My experience with no-iron 100% cotton is it looks like you slept in it but then that appears to be the look the younger set goes for.
Enough of my comment. Take a gander at what The Awl found in its first hand look at the store Ms Wilson puts in the same category as lesser than Kmart at
