Editor's Note: Krazy Kaptions will be on a brief hiatus after today's posting until 2/2/17 as your webmaster is off to sunny Florida for a week! We'll be back with more kitschy kraziness soon!

Geraldine loved to keep her wedding photo to Bert on display for all to see, though after the third time he came home stumbling drunk after 2:30am, she added the rod and curtains so that she could cover it up at will...

Yes it was all smiles for Eldon and Myra Jo Wingbach and Brenda and Herman Schildkraut at the 6th Annual El Cahon Bowl, until Eldon lost his glasses during the after party and accidentally took Brenda home with him!

For his very first photo shoot as a freelance model, Ricardo wanted everything to be just so, but unfortunately moments after this shot, Mrs. Alverez tossed some murky water from her mop bucket out the third story window of their apartment building, hitting not only his Grand Prix, but him as well!

Larraine was so disappointed when her husband Roger gave her a metal detector for her birthday, but one afternoon on a whim she took it to the shoreline of Litchfield by the Sea and came upon little Audrey, discovered solely due to the steel hinges of her eyeglasses!

Herman and Lily Munster felt certain that grown-up Eddie would stay at their house on Mockingbird Lane and raise his family there, but instead he bought a home in the suburb of Timber Creek and managed to assimilate himself amongst all the other residents...

Alphonso bided his time until finally one night The Sandersons went out for dinner and a movie, whereupon he could FINALLY attack and destroy the little cow figurine which had been mocking and taunting him for months now...

Having left Tiddlebrook years ago to attempt success in the record biz, it was always a little awkward for Phil to come home for the holidays and settle into the small town routine again. But thankfully, Aunt Nita still made one killer Screwdriver...

Not only was the torque so great that it pulled Angelique right out of her water skis, but for some reason the speedboat driver kept turning around to look at her instead of the water in front of him and eventually he ran aground!

A.J.'s toy steering wheel gave his sister Meredith ample training at being a backseat driver, which would come in handy later in life. This early experience made her an authority on failure to use a turn signal, irregular parallel parking, horn overuse and, most definitely, falling asleep at the wheel!

After a long, hard day in her teller window at 4th National Bank of Boise, Karen couldn't wait to get home and slip out of her heels... and her earrings!

Mona wasn't too horrified by her accommodations during a retreat at Camp Squeezum, but on warm nights it could sometimes be a challenge to hear all the dialogue on "Peyton Place" over the roar of the wall unit air conditioner...

Little-known brothers Willard and Oral Reight were awfully close to perfecting the first aircraft in the backyard of their South Carolina farm before being outdone by another set of siblings in the state just north of them.

Just about the time Maurice Argentil got his backyard looking just the way he wanted it, he found he was no longer able to mow the grass himself, so he made the dreaded error of hiring little Mike Zamboni from two houses down to come and do it with his tractor. For further information, please check back issues of The Jellico Gazette or True Crime magazine...

Sisterly competition ran high between Evangeline and Aurora Shellhamer. Aurora not only found it amusing that she used up all the Final Net before her sister was out of the shower but also didn't feel at all guilty that 'Ang had to show up at the New Rochelle Canasta Bruncheon in merely a headband as a result!

Curt, Eddie and Chuck had decided from the start that this guy's weekend would be a real bender, but since Chuck started his drinking on the plane, he was practically down for the count by the time they first visited Delray Beach!

When Phil and Mary Lou invited Justine and Clark to join them for a frolicsome day at the beach, they hadn't realized that the visiting couple would be expecting to share everything including their only towel!

Harold Dean and Marjorie had promised the boys that if they were good at Aunt Gladys' funeral, the four of them could head to McDonald's afterwards for Big Macs and Happy Meals, but unruly Timmy really pushed the envelope when he began flying his balsa-wood biplane back and forth over the casket...

Mabel loved her new apartment and couldn't wait to take a picture of her daughter Judi in it, but it did bother her that the dividing half-wall between the living room and dining area interrupted her decorating scheme with the poly-silk, Wedgewood blue curtains she gotten at Pogue's.

Thomas only had one goal at the 7th Annual Edison, New Jersey Jaycees New Year's Eve Bash and that was to brighten Carletta's night, but she would have none of it and only had eyes for Louie.

Everyone in the area knew that Angie Weatherwax had a fondness for feeding all the birds, so one day while on a particularly arduous walk, Cliff Byrd stopped in for a quick, refreshing snack!

Knowing how Myrna Loy had posed nude as a young lady for the lithe statue "Fountain of Education," Evelyn Cranapple thought she, too, might like to be commemorated for all time in a work of art, so she posed for the top tier of this Missouri totem pole, later rejoicing in being able to stand aside it for publicity purposes...

Bonus Pic: Since spare change was at a premium for roomies Chad and Teddy, one of them would often strip down completely on laundry day in order to stretch their budget as far as they could and get everything done in one load!
