Real PETA men don’t wear fur, and that’s a fact! However, this man’s sung and warm, while the real PETA men are trying to locate specific parts of their anatomies that have shrunk up to the size of an unpopped popcorn kernel due to their freezing body temperatures. I’m gonna leave it right there!   Stay […]

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. This ingenious design […]

The Friday Funnies! 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, Kalberg’s stirring the pot again!” 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 […]

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 is for your perusal. It’s 1974, and I’m off to my Senior Year at dear ol’ William Carey College, aka Jesus Tech […]

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’ […]

While perusing my old theater scrapbook, I found this snap. Who is this guy? I seem to remember that someone who looks like him was in Center Stage’s “Sly Fox,” back in 1996. Perhaps this snap was his lobby picture, but what was he thinking! That 1920’s hat, striped shirt and non-politically correct t-shirt (wife-beater) […]

Greetings! May all your troubles in the New Year last as long as your New Year resolutions.   All jokes aside, please make one resolution you’ll keep: Have a good laugh at least once daily. It’s good for the soul. Big hug, y’all! 

This day did not start well. Bad boy Louie stumbled into the breakfast room, blurry-eyed from a raucous night of frivolity. Looking at me with a spiteful grin, he let out of peal of laughter. “Yeehaw! You’ve got a zit on your nose the size of a ’56 Buick Special! Won’t you look cute in […]

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 Lucchese 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 my drink.” […]

Merry Christmas, indeed! Bah humbug! I’m going back to my old crotchety ways. I put up a Christmas tree and spread holiday cheer around. 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 […]

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. When he discovered we weren’t, he pitched a hissy fit, threw all his packed Louis Vuitton luggage onto the living room floor, […]

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 […]

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.” She also warned me about strange men wearing striped pants and sporting polka-dot headbands on their top hats. She also taught me that sometimes, people are just weird, and […]

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 tried 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 with a bad […]

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 […]

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 I make you laugh? This old world can be a pretty unhappy place sometimes. With that in mind, lest we forget Victor Hugo’s uplifting words: Laughter is the sun that […]

I found this snap in an antique shop’s box of old snaps. 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 filled out, his […]

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 ye […]

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.

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; […]

This younger generation…I just don’t know what to think of them. I showed Bad-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. Don’t know who the bigger wuss […]
