Answer:  WENT DOWN THE TUBES

(Wow!  A nice long – 16 letter – answer for the last Sunday of 2014!  Pretty cool.  There were no new clue words today – ralis95’s birthday – but there were plenty of new jumbles.  I really liked the one for “swivel”.  I always have to double check the spelling of this word, because more words seem to end in LE than EL.  I also just realized one reason why I continually write ATLEAST when it should be AT LEAST, and it’s because of “awhile”!  Today’s answer letter layout was exceedingly well-constructed.  I don’t think it gave a thing away.  The cartoon is fantastic!  You guys with the reduced Jumble may not be able to make it out, but there is our classic sinking sailboat on the horizon!  It’s been quite a while – see that – since we’ve been graced with that.  And, if you look real close, you’ll see Jeff and David sunbathing on the beach . . . in the buff!  Oh, the humanity!  LOL!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
