The caption accompanying this snap should read: Mom and Dad, I know you like to take pictures of me…but…this suit itches, the camera lights are hot, and I gotta go bad! On this dreary, rainy-cold day, don’t forget to smile and make someone else smile too. Later, Smiling Gaters! (Originally posted February 12, 2021)

Ever had one of those days? Hair sticking up, like a shock of corn in a cornfield. Shoes nowhere to be found. Clothes gobbling you up. Can’t find your teeth. Got more chins than a Chinatown phone book. Well, dear ones, such is this mysterious game we call life. It isn’t always easy. It isn’t […]

Yikes! And double yikes! I was scheduled for an interview at WLOX in Biloxi. But when I arrived at the TV studio, these two lovelies greeted me. So, I feigned a sudden attack of flatulence and rushed out the front door. (LOL!!!) In life, you’ve got to pick your battles. Going up against crazy clowns […]

Greetings! Mercy me! Poor Louie can’t decide whether to wear blue or black to the King’s Ball. I quietly suggested that he might look a tad over the top in whatever he wore. He’s now locked himself in his room, yelling for his smelling salts. Laissez les bons temps rouler…I guess! (LOL!) Big hug, y’all! […]

Good news! Sister Mary Rhonda Starbucks has lit a candle for each of you at the Seaside Chapel for Perpetual Coffee Drinkers. Be happy she has. This old world can be a dark place.

Greetings! Meanwhile, in other news, a local mall had to quickly replace a steel bathroom door after a customer had a severe gastric disturbance due to an overindulgent partaking of Bush Beans. The maintenance man repairing the door was overheard saying, “In unpredictable situations like this, we must take what we’ve got and make what […]

On New Year’s Day, I said, “Self! Stop stirring pots!” Well, that didn’t last long. Here, on the last day of January, I hope your New Year will be filled with laughter. As I’ve said before, it’s cheap medicine for the soul. Big hug. (Originally posted January 31, 2025)

Two pastors’ secretaries, one ancient church member, and a total of 109 years of FBC memories. Oh! The tales we could tell. Don’t panic. To the grave, we’ll take them. (However, rumor has it that the ancient member can be bribed to tell all with an invitation to the Chimneys and a lemon-drop martini. ) […]

When you are up to your a-double in alligators or crocodiles, it’s difficult to remember that your initial objective was to drain the swamp. However, if you must drain a swamp today, take time to dance around, do the watusi, and don’t’ forget to laugh. It will help make the draining less onerous. Later, Laughing […]

In life, checking your copy for spelling errors is always advantageous. In so doing, you might be spared an embarrassing apology. Remember: The secret to a long life is laughter, even if you must close the shop for personal circumcisions, I meant circumstances. But I digest. I mean, digress. Pardon me! (LOL!) Big hug, y’all! […]

In response to Mr. Hill throwing down his snow-angel-gauntlet, I took up the challenge and proceeded forth. I lay down in the fluffy snow and thrashed about, vigorous-like, with suitable angelic movements. Thinking I’d fulfilled my duty in regaining my honor, I arose to pursue my efforts. Alas! Disaster! To my horror, my snow angel […]

In a hole in the ground, there lived a Hobbit. And in a hole in a platform at FBC Gulfport, there lived a Kalberg storing up Christmas decorations for next year. Y’all have a great weekend. Stay safe and warm. Big hug.

Greetings! Men! At long last, a robotic latrine for your home! The further good news is this: the latrine will monitor your output, collect the data, process it, and file it in your very own human-computer interaction unit, which can be automatically sent to the family urologist. Kidney stones, beware, you’re being monitored. A specimen […]

Greetings! To quote the Bard: “Double, double toil and trouble! Fire burn and cauldron bubble! Fillet of a fenny snake, in the caldron boil and bake. Eye of newt and toe of frog…” To quote y’all: “Well, the Kalberg’s stirring the pot again!” LOL! However, I know what you’re thinking. I do it so well. […]

Meanwhile, in the world of great art, there’s this. The exquisite black-and-white photograph pictured is titled “Afternoon Shadows.” It was taken by the world-renowned Mississippi Gulf Coast photographer Bubba Moselle Brown-Adams. Mr. Adams is the distant country cousin, thrice removed, of the equally world-famed photographer, Ansel Adams. Mr. Brown’s most recent exhibition was at the […]

I’m almost 74. I can stick out my tongue whenever I like. Well, on second thought, maybe only once a day, and politely, of course. Gosh! It’s a lovely winter’s day here, on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I hope it’s the same in your neck of the woods. If not, stick out your tongue at […]

Greetings! Being a Baby Boomer (and thankful that I am!) I was reared by parents who grew up in hard times. Old Man Depression taught them to waste not, want not, hence, today’s snap for your perusal. It’s 1974, and I’m off to my Senior Year at dear ol’ William Carey College, aka Jesus Tech […]

“Honey! Did ya hear that Sister Bertha Lou Snodgrass broke wind in church?” “No! Do tell! What happened?” “Well, two people fell out with the vapors. The organist got so tickled that he forgot where he was and played a Bach-ish version of ‘The Beer Barrel Polka’ for the offertory. And then, the Preacher got […]

With 73 just around the corner, I decided to give a new face mask a try to help fight the signs of aging. Alas, it didn’t quite do the trick. But then I remembered the Bard’s advice: “With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come…” So, I turned the failed face mask into a ‘wrinkly’ […]

What a week it’s been! I fell in the lift cage at the Outlet Mall! Then I hit a wrong button, and even though I’d fallen but could get up, the problem was, I couldn’t get down. (LOL!) Oy vey! Such a week. In life, please remember that if you fall down 6 times, get […]

Greetings! Woe is me! Christmas presents, I don’t know what to return. The Tiffany nose ring? The designer toilet, with automatic wiper and cheek massage? Or the Adam Edmonds leather boots with instant stiletto heel ejectors, great for that moment when you’ve had too much happy juice at a redneck bar and say, “Bubba! Hold […]

Merry Christmas, indeed! Bah humbug! I’m going back to my old crotchety ways. I put up a Christmas tree, spread Holiday cheer around, and what did I get for it? Nothing but a terse letter from FBC Gulfport informing me that I owed back title money, so, to make up for it, I could be […]

Greetings on the day after Christmas! Well, Bad Boy Louie strikes again. With enthusiastic diligence, he watched my every move as I decorated the house for Christmas.When it came time for him to decorate his little corner of the world, he insisted that he needed no help. Alas, he apparently needs a few more lessons. […]

Greetings! Mercy me! Advice needed! For those of you who have children, what to do? Like many of my FB friends, little Louie thought we really were going on an ocean cruise to Europe. I apologize to y’all for my silly post that alluded to such. When he discovered we weren’t, he pitched a hissy […]

Well, Christmas shoppers, here’s the latest. I get a panicked call from Gulfport’s most powerful retail executive, Ms. Pamela Berry Meinzinger. She’s all in a dither. “I gotta have a chair decorated for the Outlet Mall ’cause Santa Claus is comin’ to town,” says she. “No problem,” says I. Then disaster struck. When we told […]

Not long ago, my old boss from the Department of Human Resources, Margie Reid, called me and said, “We’d love for you to join us for our Christmas Party. I need your talents.” I was jumpin’ with joy. Oh! To once again enjoy the company of my old DHS chums from days gone by. Sing […]

While rummaging through an old trunk in the attic, I discovered this long-lost snap from days gone by. Long before my “life upon the wicked stage,” I was Santa’s most prolific elf at his North Pole toy shop. But my real claim to fame, though, were my hilariously funny, side-splitting elf jokes. What’s an elf’s […]

My sweet Granny from D’Lo once told me, “Andy, if you see a woman in gold lame’ you know you got a floozy on your hands.” (LOL!) She also warned me about strange men wearing striped pants and sporting polka-dot headbands on their top hats. (LOL!) She also taught me that sometimes, people are just […]

Greetings, on this cold December day! Not finished doing your Christmas shopping? Here’s a great Christmas gift for all the fashionistas in your life – nose hair extensions!

In the year of the pox, Mr. Delk was hired by WLOX to spread Christmas cheer throughout the studio via his magnificent decorations. In the spirit of the season, he kindly hired a Senior Citizen Elf on the Shelf who had befallen upon hard times. The Elf, eager to please but not too bright, was […]

The Friday Funnies! The Grinch tried to steal more than just Christmas at last Saturday’s Mistoe on Main, Gulfport’s Christmas festivities in downtown Gulfport. Ol’ Greeny attempted to steal all of Frosty’s snow, too. Santa and Scrooge had the last laugh, though. The Grinch was allergic to Frosty’s snow and broke out in hives, coupled […]

And you think you had a bad night? What about wakin’ up to this big boy! Poor ol’ Ebenezer, he never seems to catch a break. (LOL!) Speaking of breaks, take one today and have a good laugh. It will do you good! Big hug, y’all! 

Can you help? How do I get Louie to listen to what I say? Here’s the story. I say, “Hey, Louie! We’ve been invited to a grand, Great Gatsby-themed Christmas costume party! Wear something fitting for the period.” Did he listen? Nope! Wellington arrives with our Isotta Fraschini. I step out wearing my top hat […]

Go on, don’t lie. Like me, you know you had a crazy uncle who gave crazy Christmas gifts. As you unwrapped his yearly gift, you did so with anticipation and dread, never knowing what lay in store. (LOL!) Sometimes life gets crazy. Some folks may call you crazy. If they do, tell them that you […]

Merry Christmas, indeed! People are so mean. While driving home, I was in the right lane, going the speed limit, and minding my own business. Folks were honking, cussing at me, and the like. Loosen up, folks. It’s Christmas! (LOL!) Big hug, y’all!

Sometimes my old body’s like a raggedy, 1972 Gremlin. ‘Cause every time I cough or sneeze, my radiator leaks and my exhaust pipe backfires. Did that make you laugh? I hope so! This old world can be a pretty unhappy place sometimes. With that in mind, lest we forget Victor Hugo’s uplifting words: “Laughter is […]

Merry Christmas indeed! Bah, Humbug! A word of warning! My minions are roaming the countryside, keeping a record of those running around buying bits and pieces to put under the Christmas tree. These records will be compiled and sent to the IRS Office. That office will, in turn, contact you, investigating the vast income you […]

For those who ate too much yesterday, I guess maybe overeating isn’t such a bad thing after all. (LOL!) Enjoy this brisk, sun-shiny day as you glide into the weekend. Big hug, ya’ll!

Ah! Cheese grits and shrimp at ye ol’ Brick and Spoon, topped off with sparkling conversation and tasty mimosas. Life is good. I know what you’re thinking.

Greetings! I found this snap in a box of old snaps in an antique shop. Wonder what happened to this little fellow? With his rakish Panama hat and snappy sandals, he’s the bee’s knees, to be sure. And that tractor! Perhaps he grew up to be a farmer. I bet his chest sprouted hair and […]

Mercy me! I thought June was the month to marry. I’ve received three December wedding invitations, along with three bachelor party invites as well.

Greetings! I hear tell this preppy yuppy thought he had found a lucrative acting career in making commercials for Electric City and Baber’s Leasing. Alas, that was not to be. And he found himself reg-tagged, obsolete, and out of a job. Not daunted and quick on his feet, though, he found fame and fortune at […]

Greetings! This old coot has escaped once again and is now on the prowl. He was last seen at Trixie and Homer’s 70th Wedding Anniversary, making mischief when he crashed the party in a most unusual way. If spotted, he’s easy to corral with promises of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, shots of banana whiskey, and […]

As the old-timers say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Wonder what this cute little girl is thinking?

Greetings! Tis the season, y’all, “To shop to you drop!” And this Walmart shopper personifies said phrase. (LOL!) In the weeks leading up to Christmas, please take the time to look your best.

Soon to be released will be a young gentleman’s companion book titled: “The Little Gents Book on How To Successfully Pass Blame when Passing Gas […]

It’s incredible what you can create when you take what you’ve got and make what you can. A mop, water, Dawn detergent, and an oozing preponderance of leaking steering wheel fluid – these are the perfect ingredients for an artist’s palette. And with these, I’ve crafted a masterpiece I call: “Mystic Creature from the D’Lo […]

Yikes and double yikes! I’m horrified, mortified, and stupefied! How horrible is this? What is the world coming to? What was this young man thinking? He’s hoseless, and his pumps don’t match his purse and hat. (LOL!) In a world gone mad, sometimes you just have to shrug your shoulders, laugh, and ease on down […]

Oh! Woe is me! I’m so bored. I get no kick from champagne. Mere alcohol doesn’t thrill me at all. I get no kick from cocaine; it bores me just the same. I get no kick from an ocean cruise; it gives me the seasick blues. Alas, I get no kick from a standing ovation; […]

Meanwhile, in other news, there’s this. Here’s the latest designer toilet seat from Architectural Digest’s Interior Designer’s Showcase. It’s for your guest bathroom and is for those guests you really don’t like but must invite to be polite. (LOL!) With the Holidays coming up, watch where you sit. Big hug, y’all!

These boys have been creating Stooge-tacular comedy since the 1930s. Because why frown when you can nyuk-nyuk-nyuk your way through life’s absurdity? Life’s hard these days, my friends.

Note to self: When next you decorate a chandelier for a posh wedding, immediately after climbing up your 12-foot ladder, check out said light fixture. A shriveled-up, dead lizard, four paws in the air, can be a bit of a surprise. Whatever surprises come your way today, keep smiling. It’s good for the soul. Big […]

I’m an old-fashioned kind of guy–women and children first or ladies first–get the picture? But, when someone screams, “There’s a huge snake in the hallway just outside your office door!” It’s every fool for himself. (LOL!) Don’t be the snake in someone’s life. Remember what Oscar Wilde once said, “Some cause happiness wherever they go; […]

Yeah, I know! I’m cute. It’s my 4th birthday. I’ve got on a cool shirt and Vitalis in my hair. But I can’t hold it any longer…I think I’m gonna toot. (LOL!) Come on now, laugh with this cute little boy. Remember: As a birthday cake is to the body, so is laughter to the […]

“Miss Lucy!” Renfield said with a doleful sigh. “I’ll never screech and scream again IF…” With demented eyes, he paused and looked around the room. “Dr. Seward, I’ll never eat flies and spiders again IF…” His heart tightening with fear, Renfield glared at young Harker. “You’ll never have to shoo away that evil bat again […]

Help and double Help! So last night I’m minding my own business and suddenly, my toes and fingers gnarled up. Hair started sprouting on my head. (No complaints about that! ) I started baying at the moon. And in the back of my mind, an old gypsy woman kept repeating, “The vay you valked vas […]

Ice cream, ice cream, they all screamed for ice cream! Then they screamed for me to open the door so they could get some. So vhat am I? Chopped liver. Oy Vey! Hopefully, eating ice cream today will put a smile on your face and bring joy to your heart. Big hug, y’all!

This younger generation…I just don’t know. I showed my prissy boy, Louie, the bat from Gulfport Little Theater’s 1984 production of DRACULA, and he almost passed out. He’s such a wuss! But then he threw a rubber snake at me, and I peed in my pants. (LOL!) He agreed to hold the bat after I […]

When you’re up to your armpits in toilet paper, it’s hard to remember where you hid the toilet plunger.

Later Gaters Who Follow […]

“Last night, I dreamt I went to Manderley again.” Oops! Wrong dream! () Last night, I dreamt I was flying; clocks and time meant nothing as I strove to become the wanna-be studly shadow that floated above me. Alas, disaster! During my imaginary flight, the bed collapsed due to my twisted contortions. I tumbled out […]

Alas and alack! I knew this day would come. The demise of the home phone! Since home phones are but a distant memory for many of you, I’m sure it’s difficult to relate to my anguish. Where, oh where, did I put my Smoke Signals Handbook? Why oh why did I tell my carrier pigeon […]

Ain’t life unpredictable at times! There you are, sitting and minding your own business, when BOOM, something happens to take away your peaceful, enjoyable day. Don’t let that happen to you today.

Greetings! Meanwhile, in other news, it appears this old coot has lost more than his meteorite. His mind, perhaps? Did he not have a hairbrush to brush that thinning mop before going on the air? As you go through the day, try to look your best…it will make you feel better about yourself. Later Looking-Good […]

Greetings! A good book and classical art. What more could a person ask for? Right? Remember: Try to laugh while walking along life’s bumpy pathway. You have a choice—either you laugh or you cry. But Honey! Crying gives me a headache, a runny nose, and bloodshot eyes. Makes me look like I’ve been on a […]

While sifting through a stack of boxes filled with old papers and ring binders, I came across my old KNS Publicity Folder from the early 1990s. Its yellowing pages and envelopes packed with aging snaps brought a smile. Remembering all my friends who had entertained me over the years with their stage antics made me […]

Oi! Vey! Such a heartbreak! When your dearest friends push you out of the last lifeboat leaving the Titanic, it might be time to reconsider their friendly bond. Y’all have a great weekend and be safe. Big hug.

While talking with my friend, Billy the Boar, he yawned. “Am I boring you?” I asked, “You’ve yawned five times.” Billy the Boar, quick on his four hoofs, responded, “I wasn’t yawning. They were unsuccessful attempts to speak.” And there you have it. Laugh with vigor today; it will make you feel better. Later Don’t-Be-A- […]

For those of you who say I’m behind the times, let the record show the Kalbergs have always been on the cutting edge of technology.

The taco salad at FBC Gulfport’s Wednesday Night supper was delish, and the homemade banana pudding was, too! However, some of the kiddies wanted ice cream. I told them we had plenty.

According to the D’Lo Dispatch, the latrine was christened by […]

In light of past events, I’m taking a moment away from my usual Friday silliness. I wondered why last Friday’s Funnies (which I thought was very funny) got so few hits. Then it dawned on me that the times were not so funny. Ida was brewing, and it was apparent that wherever she went ashore, […]

“Kalberg,” yelled Adam, FBC’s Chef Magnifique. “That can’s got a hair trigger!” “What’s a hair…” says I, as my “dear” friends laughed their heads off. Oh! Well!

Bubba T. Kalberg here with my latest gardening tip: When burying the body of a banished lover, a whacked-out boss, a nagging wife, a loud-snoring husband, or a “Karen” neighbor, remember to cover it with endangered plants so it’s illegal to dig it up.

Here’s a picture of my Great, Great Uncle Cuthbert, better known to the family as “The Miser.” He often pontificated on how easy it is to save money. “Nephew, it don’t take no PHD from the D’Lo College of Farming to figure out a way to keep your pennies safe. You gotta stay away from […]

Strange weather we’re having, y’all. Who knew in February of this year, there would be a cold snap in Costa Maya? The only thing worse than being freezing cold is pretending you’re not in front of people who can clearly see you are! Keep smiling, y’all! It warms your soul. Big hug.

For all you workin’ stiffs out there slaving away at your jobs, try and catch 40 winks if you can. While working at Ye Ole DHS Office, my favorite time to do so was during the staff meeting. The only drawback was the intense heat in the conference room. Why is it that supervisors and […]

What would I do without my dear old friends?
