Summer Sillies! 6/27/22

George and the gang decided to mark the transition from chlorinated to saline filtration in his pool by engaging in a spirited piggyback wrestling match.

Janet decided to explore the more recessed areas of the beach in order to find some interesting indigenous leaves and happily found some... on Dennis' swimsuit!

Jorge was amid the rocky terrain panning for gold and, thanks to Timmy having to "go" just above, he sort of discovered some...!

For Norman and Irving, winning was everything, even if the croquet game took them right up to Mrs. Hilliard's sidewalk (and former bay window...)

Kelsey had so much trouble hitting the cars behind him whenever he had to parallel park at Kresge's, he finally installed Geraldine in the back to either help tell him when to brake or to at least soften the blow if he went back too far.

Sometimes the hidden fact that Ramon had secretly posed for Venus magazine let itself be known in unconscious ways when he inadvertently allowed his guard down.

An Easter Surprise...! 4/2/21

Yes, Krazy Kaptions is still defunct, but I had a handful of fun Easter pics and it seemed foolish not to share them with anyone who happens along here. Take care and Happy Easter!!

Joe and Donna Marie thought Easter was fun and all, but Jerome considered it FABULOUS!

Mrs. Gosselard always hoped that her little chicks would grow up tall and strong, but unfortunately Brenda sprouted right up out of camera range!

Even though he knew better, Reggie hoped that he might find a new, slightly-longer pair of shorts in his Easter basket. Alf was happy with the candy.

Roscoe had been thrilled at the prospect of being sent out for stud... until he met the intended target of his "affection." The relationship eventually blew up in his face...

And she was never. heard from. again.

And she was never. heard from. again. either.

As the first and only preteen mortician and funeral director in Springfield, Jason not only did a surprisingly great job, but also kept mourners' spirits light with a few yo-yo tricks directly after the graveside services...

Little Jesse Ventura's parents had an inkling that their boy was going to grow up to be a pro wrestler when he grabbed his cousin Linda's life-size doll and began battering it around his playpen, ultimately pinning it to the floor!

Sylvester just loved operating his little side-business as a Fire Island taxi driver for one. Not only did it provide welcome supplemental income, but it allowed him to get to know some of the local tourists a little bit better!

Happy Easter

from Krazy Kaptions! 

Millicent did everything humanly possible to make Alexander's first Easter a special one, yet amid all the toys and trappings, it was the paper department store bag in the corner that really caught his attention...!

Although her Easter basket was sizable indeed, Sadie had been very specific about what she wanted in it. And since her parents weren't able to fulfill all of her wish list, they decided maybe they ought to remove and hide the fireplace poker before she peeled back the golden cellophane!

Ramona strenuously rehearsed a tap number in the driveway to the tune of "Easter Parade" and - on one unexpectedly violent pivot - discovered that not all her eggs were actually hard-boiled...!

Bonus Pic

Janey just HAD to have her dad stop the car so that she could pose with the "fake" giant bunny, not realizing that this had been a nuclear test site and the Lepus in question was actually quite alive... and hungry!

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...

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!

12/12/19

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!

11/28/19

Happy Thanksgiving

from Krazy Kaptions!

After the rest of the family gorged on Thanksgiving turkey, they all slipped out into the family room for a much-needed nap, leaving Simon strapped to his high chair with all the leftover taste treats lingering tantalizingly out of reach...

Lenora liked things a certain way and struggled to figure out how her holiday bird could effectively be glitzed up a bit before being presented at dinner.

In order to make her mother happy, Lynda Marie brought Ernie over to her place for Thanksgiving dinner, but for security's sake in that steamy little eat-in kitchen, she kept a purple can of Super-Hold Aqua-Net on the nearby counter...

10/29/19

After the meeting took place, Chet began to wonder if he had misheard his neighbor Lawrence when he asked him to come over one afternoon and compare "duck" size...

Day one of sitting alone with his son Tad, Bryan had had his shirt spat-up on, his pants riddled with stewed carrots and now he felt the unhappy sensation of an overloaded diaper oozing onto his shorts!

Marjorie looked forward each month to her latest issue of Cat Fancy magazine, but so did Serena, so they always had to cuddle up and browse through it together...

7/25/19

Farnum loved bath time and usually had a ball, but he could see the writing on the wall when Aunt Cecilia forgot her glasses and began heading to the sink with a large stack of greasy dinner dishes...!

King Neptune felt there was still pretty much life in this wife yet, but he considered making his next one a hairdresser who could do a better job of touching up his roots...

The roof really didn't need any maintenance, but that's what Angus told the wife and kids so that he could have a little down time in between all their needs and complaints!

7/9/19

It was determined directly after this shot of The Allways that at least 25% of them needed a diaper change...

With four offspring already and another one on the way according to Carole, Cliff was doubly glad that he was a dentist and could see to the orthodontia of his ever-increasing brood.

With things so slow at Cash Amburgy's Used Car Lot, Steve couldn't really afford a portrait sitting, but thankfully Verladeen had been able to take advantage of a promotion at Hardee's in which one could save up their receipts and turn them in for a complimentary 11" x 16".

5/28/19

Stevie turned out to be quite the hero at the Groesberger house. When he saw that Todd was about to open the utensil drawer when held serving forks, carving knives and other deadly implements, he pressed his young charge up against the cabinets until Todd's mother could come and spirit him away.

Valerie took one swimming lesson from the hotel's instructor Tonio and liked it so much she asked for and was granted another private lesson that evening after the pool was officially closed and there would be fewer distractions.

Brenda Kate was instantly irritated when she posed for a photo at Disneyland with Myron and the young man who was manning the camera looked at his own dad and said, "Hey, look, Pa... there are three Matterhorns in this picture!"

Happy April Showers

from Krazy Kaptions!

In a typical moment of confusion for Lorna, she was blindfolded and instructed to play this fun baby shower game, but eventually grabbed a broom handle and began to burst what she thought was a pinata, but which was actually Cheryl Jean's beehive!

Mary Ann was initially thrilled with the gift of lingerie from her cousin Bernadette until she realized that the piece had tell-tale signs of having been taken in and looked oddly similar to the XXL nightgown that she'd given to Bern at her own shower two years prior!

All of Julie Marie's coworkers down at the Ford Transmission Plant wanted to emphasize child safety at her shower, so they got her this extra thick mattress pad for the cradle and chipped in for a car seat that came complete with a safety belt...

3/14/19

Bernadette chose this particular Saturday to reveal her new European two-piece to the world. Husband Roger was all in, but daughter Stephanie remained skeptical...

It may have been because Carole was keeping pace on the Coors with hubby Gerald and his brother Walt, but suddenly she felt a sense of indefinable spirituality with regards to her mate and from this point forward she put her total faith in him and obeyed his every desire...

Since his wife Myrna had been bellyaching for weeks that Cliff never did anything surprising or spontaneous with her, he bought some mail-order undies from Total U and decided to spring them on her after their next Friday night evening of romance.
