Answer:  THE PITS

(THE definition of a stinky pun!  Great clue word jumbling.  We even have a new clue word for ralis95 to add to his database, in “phobia”.  I also liked the jumbling of “soothe”.  Great job on a short answer letter layout!  Jeff’s crazy cartoon set up the answer perfectly.  Advance warning:  Tomorrow’s and Monday’s spoilers will be up late.  Gotta go somewhere.   Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
