Having carefully selected his wardrobe, setting and pose for his first day of 3rd grade photo shoot, Toby dearly hoped that his mother Madge wouldn't screw up the shots with her fumbling use of the camera...!

Jeremy wanted this tiresome photograph to be over and done with asap because he could hear on the neighbor's portable AM radio the Ohio Players "Rollercoaster of Love" and was aching to break loose and boogie down!

Kelly Jean has been such a sour pill that morning during their soft-boiled eggs and toast that Steven couldn't resist hopping off his side of the bench without warning and sending her careening to the pavement! (Emily Ann, having been through this already, knew better than to even sit on the bench to begin with!)

Randolph unquestionably excelled at being a scout and had a sashfull of badges to prove it, but if the truth were known, his mother understood fully why he hadn't received his merit badge for Interior Decorating...

Phyllis ran into a whale of a problem. As she was setting her hair for the big party at her place that night, she realized she had forgotten to mail out the invitations, so she had to scribble them off in a hurry and have them sent around town by special messenger!

Everything went well enough as Eddie and Ricky posed with Huhroubah until their mother brought over only two cones of cotton candy from the snack vendor and they didn't immediately act as if they planned to share it!

Private Grafton's first night on KP duty was an eventful one. When asked to get rid of all the junk in his barracks, he got a bit literal and tossed Private Germain out the back door, too!

Things still went on rather swimmingly at Jace and Roger's river camp even though storms up north had turned this area into a wading pond when only yesterday it had been the shuffleboard court!

Ever since the diving board was removed at Uncle Ted's Arizona Dude Ranch and Spa, some of the visitors chose to use the foundation as a workout area; sort of a monkey bar apparatus for adults...

Anjelica couldn't wait to have her portrait made with Buddy in front of the decorations she'd made for the Walnut Knoll High School Starlight Promenade, but boy did she catch hell when she got home. Her mother had intended to roast some chicken for dinner and discovered they were completely out of tin foil!

File Photo: An early jam session of Deenie & the Teenies, a novelty group that was waylaid before it got off the ground when 3/4th of the members came down with chicken pox...

Stephanie and Randy were quite worried about Arnella's weight loss and fretted that she might have an eating disorder so they took her to Randy's favorite joint for a nice greasy breakfast. Problem was, she ordered two poached egg whites on dry pumpernickel toast! (And only finished half.)

Happy St. Patrick's Day

from Krazy Kaptions!

Patty hadn't attempted to service an entire nation yet, but was happy to drive the snakes out of peoples' backyards, one house at a time!

Glynis' favorite holiday of all was St. Patrick's Day and she always had a healthy supply of booze on hand. She started with an Irish whisky & ginger ale followed by a boilermaker, then it was usually about time to start Bill's breakfast... 

Stephanie wasn't even teething, but she knew that this was the day when she might best be able to fake it and get a little Jamison on her gums...

Jeanine really thought that Earl was a great guy until subtle signs began creeping up along the way, which she sadly chose to ignore...

Kerry was thrilled to be hosting his own (very first) summer party. Trouble was, he couldn't seem to keep the pool filled with water. Every time someone got out, the level was way, way down for some reason...

Yasmin did everything possible to catch Hagar's eye down at the Circle K, but got more than she bargained for on their first date when he expected her to buff his horn back at his place!

It was a lengthy wait outside until the bridal party could make their way through the processional and, unfortunately, third groomsman Richie had taken a few too many sips from his flask and needed to relieve himself on the nearest tree before the ceremony!

While no one was happy that Miss Netticott had passed on, her neighbor June and daughters Karen and Valerie did manage to have a great time rummaging through the estate sale for all sorts of fun finds.

Rayanne wasn't about to have a repeat of what happened to her cousin Mary, who made the mistake of blowing out the candles toward the flammable living room drapes at her house, so she turned her back to them and extinguished the candles without incident.

Since he was four years old, Manuel had been asking Santa for a new pony for Christmas and, not one to give up easily, kept at it for decades...

Everything at Mel and Danica's wedding went off without a hitch until it was discovered that the wreath on the bottom-front tier of their wedding cake had bits of poison ivy accidentally woven through it!

Tired to death of walking from his nest to the river every morning, once he had a little coin in his pocket, Donald Duck took to hiring a driver to get him back and forth five days a week. He still waddled there himself on the weekends...

It was something of a disappointment when The Tunnlemans finally got to visit the site of the "lot" they'd inherited from Aunt Jan, as it was situated directly between two sections of a county road...!

Jerrod was unsure at first if his special party punch was going to do the trick, but it turned out that this batch had more a delayed effect on his guests and by 10:00 things were definitely looking up!

Clinton lived in fear that Ramona's longshoreman husband might come home unexpectedly at any moment, so he devised and ingenious plan. He wore clothing exactly the color of the living room drapes and if there was a sudden noise from the driveway, he could merely pull his sweater up over his head and stand still (and undetected!)
