So in the cold light of morning, Monica rolled over, looked in the mirror and discovered that, yes, the little bit of clatter in the middle of the night was in fact Chet tumbling out of bed, slipping on his trousers and trundling out the bedroom door, never to be seen or heard from again...

Arch, the Trailways bus driver, did a quick scan of the Rumbling Venus Conservatory Gardens to be certain that no one was left from the Ruby McIntosh Weekend Tour but because Gladys' ensemble blended in so closely to the foliage, she was missed and had to catch a taxi to their next destination!

And so the residents of Dacron Junction lived in continual fear that their beloved train service would be threatened by the violence of Freddie the Giant, who sometimes derailed their engine with an errant elbow or sometimes even a foot!

Vikki's first season as a junior lifeguard was only quasi-successful. Tiger sharks chewed through the divider floats and two swimmers had to be hospitalized after nearly drowning, but she did wind up with one killer tan by September 5th!

Not only did Vernetta and Polly Jo's hairdos hold up all through the dance, maintain overnight and even last until after church the next day, but the over-spray also managed to preserve their corsages for nearly two weeks!

It had been such a long, cramped drive across Oklahoma in Reggie's Mini Cooper that it took a good half hour for Penny Sue to get her legs back in full working order for an afternoon of shopping.

This is Krazy Kaptions 500th Post!

Thanks for your support.

Mavis and Carleen had decided long before boarding their plane to Tahiti that this time they were not going to sit on the sidelines and take it easy. They were going to live it up and do as the natives do!

Carol Faye was so happy with her weight loss that she decided to do an outdoor photo shoot wearing a pair of her old slacks, but unfortunately as she was swinging, they caught a pretty good breeze and she was held in the air for nearly 45 seconds!

Judi was eager to snuggle up to President Kennedy, but knew that there were many eyes on him, hoping to catch him in the act with another woman, so she disguised herself as one of his old crewmates from PT-109!

All the ladies of The Duncan Family were easily distracted during their portrait sitting (such as this moment, when the photographer's glass eye accidentally popped out), but father Pete was always determined to remain focused no matter what occurred.

Some of his family members judged Uncle Ralph for constantly thumbing through Playboy magazine, but he maintained that the photography in it was art and that he'd always had a very strong eye for art...

Having suffered from dehydration, the doctor ordered Willie to bring in a urine specimen the following morning (in whatever container he had handy), but by the time Willie emptied the bottle of beer, he was confused about how to situate it for the "collection!"

Miko had the unfortunate notion to request red velvet cake from her Grandma Irini and somewhere in the translation, the cake ended up with a thin layer of real velvet on it!

Everything about Chauncey's big day went straight as an arrow until after cake and presents when he wandered outside when his brother William was carrying on his archery practice...

The other members of the Foster family had warned Sandra not to keep her face mask on the entire time she was out in the sun, but she'd hear none of it. The result was that she headed out to dinner that night at Shakey's Pizza with a circular pale spot on her otherwise red face!

Bonus Pic: During lifeguard training at Lake Marymead, Jimmy had gotten so carried away with resuscitation that he wanted to try it out on Coach Sugarbottom from every angle!

Although the guards were friendly enough and the place surprisingly clean, grub was lousy down at City Jail. Fortunately for Raymond, Heywood and Bobo, they'd managed to smuggle in a couple of bottles of whisky and were able to mix up a few comforting cocktails.

Because her papa had heart disease and her grandma suffered from "sugar," Jacquee began a dedication to the art of healing that resulted in her obtaining a nursing degree at the tender age of nine!

Byron and Roger had a swell afternoon at the beach planned for their dates Dolores and Marge, but when they inadvertently mixed up whose glass was who's, all four of them ended up passed out (and suffering from some severe sunburn later that night!)

Jerry had accompanied his aspiring model girlfriend Marlene to the pool for her big photo shoot in Playpet Magazine, but she seemed completely unable to grasp the concept of sexy poses, so he finally plopped down on the concrete and offered her an on-the-spot tutorial!

Few people know that in his very earliest days as Santa Claus, Kris Kringle would spend summers down in Puerto Rico (always taking one favorite elf along as a special treat!) and though he craved anonymity during this time, his choice of swimsuit often gave him away...

All of the LeBlancs were happy to see Gerald coming to pick up Brenda for their fourth date, but Fritzie kept wondering when he was gonna knock it off with the candy and flowers and bring her a little something, too, such as catnip or some Starkist tuna.

Bonus Pic: The crash of their biplane was so violent that all Rob, Steve and Trevor could salvage was their shorts, a towel or two and Steve's pipe. Nonetheless, they managed to get along on the island okay and even resisted rescue from the first couple of attempts that swung by!

After the divorce, Melanie held on to all the kitchen decor, which Freddie had no interest in anyway, though he did later have a meltdown when she was able to turn in all the copper to a scrapyard and afford a down payment on a new car in return!

This day marked the final time that Garrison ran the 200 meter in his beloved combat boots. Thereafter, he switched to sneakers and was able to climb from a personal best of 6th place to several bronze and silver medals!

Martina was thrilled with the souvenir doll that Janette brought her from a recent jaunt to Caracas, Venezuela and felt it went well with her living room color scheme. The horror came, though, when she lifted it's skirt and discovered that the doll came without benefit of panties.

Bonus Pic: The Eberhards thought that it would be a dynamite day to lie on the ground near the lake and admire the scenery, but most of them wound up focused only on Carl and his swimsuit!

As his father continued to heave him up and down, with only two fingers in the balance between him and the floor, Hiram really began to regret having used his hands to spread butter all over the biscuit he had for breakfast in his walker just minutes before!

Sylvie and Tonia were having a devil of a time with the door in their dorm room, so they called upon their across-the-hall neighbor Uma Backhertz to help them get it back on track!

Franco wasn't at all successful in this attempt to pilfer a large, rounded planter from the corner vendor and was sent packing by Mr. Krohn, but success came later when he sent his girlfriend Bonnie, who was wearing a maternity sweater, there to nab it for him.

Bonus Pic: Having spent six months in preparation for it, Jesse headed to Hollywood with an eye towards becoming the next Sylvester Stallone. Unfortunately, most of the agents there felt that, if anything, he might be the next Jim Nabors...
