Wasn't there a sci-fi flick in the '50's that had aliens living underground? They'd cause holes to swallow unsuspecting humans and capture them.

That movie was "Invaders From Mars" I saw it as a kid and thought it was the greatest movie ever made.
I later saw it as an adult and it was not even close to as good as I remembered. I then saw it a third time and it was a little better, maybe my expectations were too high.
The sequel was just so-so.
There is a large sink hole on some of my relatives property which literally just goes down about 50 or 60 feet. My Father said when he was a boy, his brother fell in it one night while they were hunting. They had to get a rope to get him out.

How nice it would be if a few sinkholes opened up in Iowa right now.

This is a double fault, Bush.

Sounds like she ought to think about taking off the extra pounds she put on over the holidays.

"Woof! Woof!" "What's that boy?"
"Woof Woof Woof!"
"You say she's stuck in a sinkhole? Let's go!"
I wondered if this was George Bush's fault, but since it is in Florida, I guess they can blame it on Jeb.
