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.

Easter Shenanigans! 4/15/22

Have a wonderful holiday weekend!

The Boylins watched with a combination of trepidation and anticipation as Aunt Anne proceeded to decapitate the chocolate bunny nestled in their annual Easter cake...

This was the last year that their parents allowed Vern and Joyce to pick their own bunnies from the table since the scuffle to get the ones they wanted had resulted in scuffed knees on Joyce.

And so Theo decided that this was the last year he'd opt for the casual look since big brother Roger seemed to get a bigger better basket by dressing up for the occasion.

The Crosbys' annual Easter Egg Hunt included the bonus feature of an inflatable rabbit hunt, but Terence's had been situated behind a bramble bush and was now losing some of its air as a result...

Kids were eager to visit Cottontail Castle and were warmly greeted by Peter at the entrance. Unfortunately, for the people of Marysville, there didn't seem to be any EXIT!

Uncle Pete had always been a prankster, but he really went to far this year with his surprise Easter basket. Anytime someone removed the chocolate bunny, they got the shock of their lives beneath it!

Ramona felt bad that her OB/GYN had to work all day on Good Friday, so she arranged a special surprise for him during her final checkup!

March Merriment! 3/9/22

 

Each member of Al Dantino's family was proud of his promotion to Evening Floor Manager at Medina Chrysler-Plymouth, but wife Carla was most elated of all, for she could already envision a new set of "real" drapes for the living room from Elder-Beerman!

In the final analysis, Denise wondered if the mediocre pay and late hours of her job as hostess at The Brass Flamingo was worth all the effort to be glamorous.

Inspired by the success of The Partridge Family, Becky, Clinton, Jessie and Mama Bernadette put their musical (and choreographic) talents to work and emerged as The Kakapo Family.

In truth, Ronnie had every right to be upset on his big day. Not only did Angela blow out the candles on his cake, but big brother Terry unwrapped all his presents!

The only disagreement that Jackie and Wanda Sue had on their Chicago to Seattle train trip was Wanda Sue's insistence on the bottom bed bunk. That way she could sit up in the morning without denting her hair...

It mattered not a bit that Cliff's new fiancee Carol Ann was heartily approved of by his family... if she didn't win over Penelope, the relationship was finished!

EDITOR'S NOTE:  No, I'm afraid Krazy Kaptions is not fully up and running as regularly as it was prior to the pandemic, but... I am occasionally coming back with new, fun photos and captions as I can. We hope you enjoy these periodic installments of the kooky representations of days gone by. Take care!

 

Some February Follies - 2/25/22

Agnes Marie made a deal with son Chet during their stay at the Great Neck TraveLodge. She'd play volleyball with him for 30 minutes if he'd first apply some Coppertone to her and let her sunbathe for the same amount of time.

Raphael and Lisette were elated that the twins were finally of an age to join their act as back-up singers and light jazz dancers for three songs a night.

And so the very first meeting of the Brandywine New Wives Association fell into place, just as soon as Carolee closed the curtains.

After witnessing the teeming crowds at a competing local bar over their new mechanical bull, Robbie Lackey took matters into his own hands and ordered and attraction for his place, too!

Wylie was happy that his kids and their cousins were able to take advantage of the pool on such a scorching day... until he saw that his truck suddenly had only had three tires left on it!

RBF Modeling Agency gave out its annual awards to up and coming employees and Robin got one for most dedicated seriousness for no apparent reason.

Several of the old gang from Rocco's Gym on 58th Street wanted to stage a couple of rematches, but in the end they realized it would benefit their joints and jaws if they did it with puppets instead...

 

Happy New Year 12/31/21!

 A surprise post of New Year's Eve pics. Enjoy! 

Cindee had been a little reluctant to entertain Jack after he'd spent 8 months on a submarine and her fears proved valid once he began to enjoy the freedom of movement found topside in her living room!

Buster discreetly told Lisa Ann to put that party favor in her purse for later, when they could really ring in the new year in a way that put the current celebration to shame!

Outsiders never understood the appeal of Myrna Gibson's famous New Year's parties until they scored an invite and got a taste of not only her generous highballs, but also her generous niece Sally Ann!

Tako was used to Chinese New Year, not the suburban fete he found himself attending while visiting New Rochelle on business, but once his hostess Violet Shagmore began her midnight shimmy to the hi-fi stereo, he started to understand the appeal...

It's not that Marlene and Theo didn't want to join the other revelers. They just knew that Ginsing was sensitive to excess cacophony and they wanted to be there for her when the 12:00am noisemakers were dragged out.

Jerry didn't realize when he signed on to croon a few numbers at Clinging Willows New Year's Bash that the home was noted for its decided lack of regular male tenants.

Deon and the Dewdrops first paid gig sadly also became their last when Teddy "Baby New Year" Haskins' only diaper pin fell into the fireplace during a more spirited section of their choreography...

And it just so happened that aliens from the planet Barpo landed outside The Claydermans on New Year's Eve and, realizing that things were just the same here as at home, declined to conquer or colonize the planet after all.

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.

And Now...

...The End Is Near...

File Photo: An otherwise peaceful dip in Lake Hollowbottom was about to be interrupted for Len as Uncle Horace prepared to back in and collapse onto his innertube...

An already rotten morning was made worse when Lew woke up thirty minutes late and then was unable to locate a clean uniform for his shift down at Phillips 66!

Though no one on the bus tour had been thrilled that they'd stopped at Stuckey's for some pecan logs, it was Gerald who wound up getting the worst of it from a prankish Howard Lee.

Tensions ran high at that first Mr. Munsingwear Pageant and scholarship contest, especially when Glen soared into the lead with his new kangaroo pouch briefs!

After positively stuffing herself at Cracker Barrel, Donna wondered if she was even going to be able to fit in the seat of her motor coach for the rest of the day trip!

Randall found it so annoying that he was out of batteries and had to run an extension cord from the living room out to the front yard to power his portable radio while catching some rays...

After much hemming and hawing, the gang finally got Garrison ready for his debut at the nude beach... then cruelly sent him in the wrong direction to the clothed one!

 Today, April 30th, 2020 marks seven years to the day that Krazy Kaptions has been in existence. First seeing life as a personal feature on Facebook that was very popular, I moved it to its own site in order to reach a broader audience and share the laughs. But (almost) no one came. The seven-year experiment has been fun - enhanced in no small way by the few, devout regulars who came and read and commented - but the time has come for it to end.  Compared to my principle site, Poseidon's Underworld, Krazy Kaptions received less than one percent of the hits...! Literally 0.008% of what the other site receives. And that's after seven years. So I'm afraid it's time to close the album. And with thousands - literally - of pictures posted here, I'm running out of new and fresh ways of remarking on them. There's no point in repeating myself. Thank you to everyone who supported this site and to all the countless, endearing subjects who showed up in all these beloved snapshots. You brightened my life with your vintage charm. Which brings us to...

The End!

4/28/20

Jarrod really wasn't sure how it would actually go when he switched from a dog grooming salon to a personal bathing service, but to his delight business actually doubled within two weeks!

Barney was not at all fond of his own surroundings when it came time to find a place to "go," so he used a service called LegLyft, which picked him up and took him to a lovely clean fire hydrant several blocks away!

And so Myrna and Al found out the hard way that it wasn't advisable to drop in a half hour early on their daughter-in-law Gloria on nights when she had invited them to dinner...!
