New Update: Godzilla, after cutting a swathe of destruction and misery along the US east coast, has suddenly disappeared in North Carolina! Experts are puzzled by this unexpected development. The Pentagon released the following statement: "We have tasked our best scout recon groups and electronic assets to hunt down and find this beast!". Further details to follow.

In other news the NASCAR Goodies 400 is being run at the Darlington International Speedway North Carolina. The tailgate barbecuing in the infield is said to be the largest in years. Two participants are to have said "You know that stuff really does taste like chicken and there was a LOT of it this year!"

Breaking News! Godzilla killed in North Carolina!
Dateline: Dooleyville North Carolina, Rufus Johnson (distant cousin of Juniour Johnson recounted the events of Monday in an exclusive interview with your reporter.
Rufus: Yeah, heard a racket out back around 10:30, the dogs were acting crazy. I figured it was some racoons in the trash again, but Martha went out for a look. She found that things stomping around in her azaleas, well those are her favorites and it made her mad so she shot that thing. I told her to just call animal control, but she was hot.
Me: What did you do then?
Rufus: Well I couldn't just leave it there, it smelled pretty strong, so my next door neighbor and I dressed it out. It took a couple of days, that damn thing's pretty big and the hide's as tough as an old hog. It wore out two chains of my good chainsaw. It did glow pretty good so we could work on it at night no problem. Anyway a bunch of tailgaters from the race up at Darlington came and took it off my hands. I'll tell you this, I ain't got nothing against the Japanese, they make some good cars, but they sure need to control their animals better than they do.
Me: And there you have it folks, back to the studio.
