Happy New Year

from Krazy Kaptions!

As the specter of New Year's Eve closed in, Romilda worried that she had enough booze on hand for her gaggle of seven Bunco partners and herself...

In those weary days before "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve," when channel 7 went off the air at 11:30pm, folks like Herforth and Edith struggled to keep everyone entertained until the clock struck twelve!

For the Roaring '20s shindig at Kimmy Hemmelman's house, the girls had been issued feathers for their hair and the boys were given paper fedoras, but Richie had other ideas...

Baby New Year of 1973 was supposed to come careening into New York City's Times Square at the stroke of midnight, but somehow took a wrong turn and bounced into the lap of Lou Fennelman in a New Rochelle subdivision...!

Valerie's New Year's bash was a total riot, but things did get dicey when she realized that someone had used Krylon spray paint on her exposed brick and she had to hold an inquisition around 12:45am!

Stevie and Darla had their fun at midnight, but by the time breakfast was served the next morning around 8:15am, Grandma Parker has long since had her fill of the noisemakers, both human and mechanical!

With all the family out the door and dishes finally washed, dried and put away, Evelyn traded in her heels for a pair of slippers and slunk down in the chair for a post-holiday nap.

Since Ranie had already given up her jeans and coat in order to outfit Sean's snowman, she prayed in earnest that there were no remaining accessories that she'd have to provide with the 27-degree wind chill that was whipping through the trees...!

Rayjean was generally in good spirits of a morning, but there was one thing that never failed to get her from zero-to-sixty in seconds flat on the crazy meter and that was finding out that someone used all the ice in the ice trays the night before without filling them back up with water.

Happy Holidays from Krazy Kaptions! 

Carolee wasn't about to settle for a bracelet from F.W. Woolworth's or some drug store perfume this year, but she did discover that Santa wanted a little something in return for the upgrade...

At last, Grandpa Earl and Teddy found a way to rid themselves of the endless haranguing from Grandma Bessie as Teddy set up his new missile launcher and then waited for her to take her customary seat...

It wasn't intentional, but as she posed before the tree, Lynda's hair and dress kept brushing against the branches, causing several of the ornaments to come crashing down from above onto the unsuspecting residents of her Christmas village beneath!

Monica wasn't psychic, but somehow she just had a strong feeling that she was going to LOVE her new studio apartment at Fashion Park...

And just like that, the angel Cynthiana was plucked from the sky and had her wings rendered from her body...

There was no real scientific correlation, but it seemed that on days when Terrence was doing pool maintenance across the street, the Bar & Grill customers with window seats tended to order more beef and stay in their seats longer than usual...

Only a year and a half prior to The Six Million-Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman, there were The Five Million-Dollar Man and the Bionic Lady, but their batteries went out after only a few weeks as the transformation process still hadn't been perfected at that point.

Even though he was independently wealthy, Randolph was only too happy to put in two days a week as a California lifeguard, so long as he was chauffeured to the beach and disrobed by his personal valet Tad.

Veronica insisted on having Sebastian in her school photos since he had been instrumental in helping her to attain the right amount of success and popularity at Salem High... he and her book of spells, of course.

 Bonus Pic!

It was just about this time that Sebastian began to assert himself more fully, preparing for the eventual takeover of Veronica and her household.

At first Clara thought it was a thrill to be dating someone in the automobile industry, but after the third time he had her posing for prospective hood ornaments of upcoming Chevrolet models (without benefit of pay!), she'd pretty much had it...

And so once again it happened. Sherry, despite wearing her new fuchsia silk party dress, had wound up losing yet another wedding date on the dance floor to her exuberant Aunt Phyllis.

After generations of male pattern baldness in the family, Alberta decided to put little Theo on Vitamin E supplements and stay ahead of the curve. The results were astounding!

There were several things that Tammie was hoping to receive on her birthday, but happily she got the one that was top on her list; a full afternoon of pampering at Elizabeth Arden.

And so the Strawberry Grove Dance Studio - Group E was informed as to which of them was going to be selected as Clara in "The Nutcracker Suite," a decision that didn't sit well with Melody Ann...

After a lot of hinting and a few false starts, Veronica finally received the proposal she'd been waiting for from Big Red...

At the Lion's Club fundraiser, "Ali Baba's Arabian Adventure," Garrison decided to try his hand at snake charming while Veronica did her dance of the seventh veils, but he was ultimately embarrassed by just which snake began to emerge from underneath his trumpet!

When word got out that Anitra Ford was considering leaving The Price is Right, Viola decked herself out for all she was worth and made her hubby Stan take some audition photos of her presenting their "brand... new... car!"

Clarice had been repeatedly warned to not feed the chipmunks because in time they could grow dependent on her and turn violent if she ever stopped, but to her delight she found that some of them were beyond affectionate, even if she didn't have any nuts or popcorn on hand!

Cissy and Terrence's first day as catalog models. Their mother June was proud that they maintained their poise, posture and positive expression even though it became clear that Terrence went "doo doo in his di di!"

After attempting to give Chad his lunch, then the use of his convertible and finally tickets to a Mets game - all to no avail - in exchange for the answers to the big Biology final, Harvey finally made him an offer he couldn't refuse...!

During some of those long, lonesome days at sea, the gang sometimes liked to mix things up with an original game they called "Shipwreck Survivor." Thing was, whichever sailor who got to had to play the rescued damsel always ended up with some awkward tan lines!
