Meanwhile, In Other News: This little tome, hot off the presses, will make a great stocking stuffer for all those would-be little dance divas anxiously waiting to tread the boards. 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! (Originally posted November 1, […]

What a night! Two femme fatales, Count Dracula, and a lunatic. We fit right in with the Project’s regulars. (LOL!) As you traverse the day, please remember: Life’s not always easy. Sometimes, being silly with friends is the best therapy! Later, Silly Gaters! (Originally posted October 29, 2021)

It’s ooky spooky in the asylum at night. Crazy ol’ Renfield might give you a fright. He’ll jump on your back, you’ll be in a bind. In the asylum’s dank halls, who knows what you’ll find? You might see things like hairy black bats, You might see things like silky black cats. At every quick […]

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. Look for the funny side of it and stay away from that which ain’t…or…you might get a pie in your face. Big hug, y’all! (Originally posted October […]

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. Don’t forget: to make mistakes is human; to stumble is commonplace; but to be able to laugh at yourself, that’s maturity. How’s your maturity level? Giggle and laugh today. That’s an order! Later Gaters Who Follow […]

“And that, my friends, is one of my favorite stories about what happened the morning some old lady broke wind during my Uncle Charlie’s funeral at the D’Lo Baptist Church. By the way, this is good chicken.” Please remember: In the windy halls of life, a good laugh is good for the soul. Big hug, […]

“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. Remember: Life always offers you a second chance…it’s called tomorrow. Later Looking-Forward-To-A-Great-Day Gaters! (Originally posted October 8, 2021)

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. For evidence, I present a snap of my grandfather, Frank August Kalberg, Sr., and a lady friend of unknown origin. He told me the ostrich’s name was Silvester, who, on […]

“Hey, Sky Masterson!” said Nathan Detroit. “Why are your suit stripes bigger than mine?” “Because, Mr. Nathan Detroit,” said Sky Massterson, “My costume designer had a bigger paintbrush than yours did.” And that, dear friends, is the fashion news from the theatrical world of Off, Off, Off-Broadway. Big hug, y’all. (Originally posted September 27, 2024)

Father God, with the world in freefall, please don’t let us lose our sense of humor. Please give us the wisdom to laugh at a good joke, to glean humor from our everyday pratfalls, and to pass our sense of humor on to others. With this in mind, my friends, I post the following. Big […]

Meanwhile, in other news…ain’t it the truth, ain’t it the truth. Just remember, boys and girls, “Laughter is the shortest distance between two people.” Who do you need to have a good laugh with today? Later Non-Bullish-Gaters! (Originally posted September 24, 2021)

Oh! My! Was it the stuffed bell peppers? That Sichuan spicy hot pot? Or was it the large bowl of shrimp creole? Whatever it was, I awoke last night from a horrible nightmare! I was trapped in a Van Gogh painting with no way out. Then I remembered the painting was a bedroom in an […]

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. But, alas, I discovered we didn’t. When I informed the little ones of our dilemma, well, to say the least, my message was […]

Are you like me? Spend half your time thinking about what you need to do, then spend the next half trying to remember what it was? Oi! Vey! However, I’m thankful Dr. Spencer Silver invented the Post-It for old-timers like me. If you forget to laugh today, use a Post-It to remind you to do […]

Whatever rumors you’ve heard about this fellow with crafty eyes and snarky smile, please note: they are false, the accusations biased and unfounded. He’s innocent of all charges. Any pictures of him that you might see at your local Post Office have been put there by ne’er-do-wells intent on fanning the rumor mill. () Today, […]

If you see prissy Louie, please don’t say anything about the storm. We’re fine, but Louie—the bad boy he thinks he is—spent most of Wednesday night under the bed. () When he heard Jim Cantore on the telly, he got it into his tousled, blonde head that Hurricane Francine would be as bad as Katrina […]

Gentlemen, be warned! This eye-catching, tuba latrine is the latest refurbishment at the D’Lo Concert Hall. In keeping with the building’s musical tastes, it was created by the Hall’s interior designer, Thatcher T. Bumgarden. However, at the grand opening, disaster soon raised its ugly head. 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! I guess this means I’ve been demoted, yet again, to Chief Garbage-Taker-Outer for Wednesday Night Suppers. Come join us for more antics from the Kitchen. Remember, an ounce […]

The ever delightful Miss West is correct: there’s no excuse for not having a good time! And that’s what I intend to do while away. This will be my last FRIDAY FUNNIES for a while, so in my absence, don’t forget to laugh, love, and have a good time. Like the Good Book says, “Laughter […]

I always wanted to travel by zeppelin, especially on an airship like the Hindenburg—filled with helium and not hydrogen, of course. However, I’ll pass on this latest zeppelin creation christened the Hindenbutt. Whatever your favorite mode of travel is, don’t forget to have a good laugh while enjoying the sights. Big hug, y’all! (Originally posted […]

Greetigns! Oh! How the mighty have fallen. I was once the Chief Pot Stirrer for Wednesday night suppers at FBC Gulfport. Due to a tempest in a garbage can, as opposed to a teapot, I’m now the Chief Pot Scraper and Garbage Taker Outer 3rd class. Oh! Woe is me! However, today, don’t let life […]

Note to self: When making cinnamon toast for breakfast, remember this. A: If it’s still dark, turn on a bright light in the kitchen before beginning. B: Gather all ingredients carefully. Check each spice bottle label to avoid mixing up lookalikes. C: Upon discovering a mistaken spice selection, soldier on, remembering the old adage, waste […]

Dear friends, with our trip to England just around the corner, I have a question about proper etiquette while traveling in a foreign country. Do you think these high-tops are appropriate to take tea with Queen Elizabeth? I don’t want to appear nouveau riche, as it were. But do want to make a good impression. […]

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. (Kudzu is not an endangered plant. ) Follow me for more […]

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.

Mark and Michael, forewarned is forearmed! This Sexy Sea Monkey is comin’ for your gold…as in Olympic medals. You boys may be all-time record holders, but I’m bustin’ y’all’s swimmin’ records in 2024! I’m swimming daily laps around my three-ring, blow-up swimming pool and love repeating that in my three-story, bouncy, blow-up house with a […]

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? When I told Mr. Delk that I was ready to go, thanks to Riemann’s Funeral Home and the book, “I’m Dear, Now What,” he lovingly gave me an early birthday present, shown below. While thanking him for that bracelet, I reminded him of one additional bracelet […]

The first snap indicates my new facial rejuvenation regimen, which promised to make me look 20 years younger. The second snap indicates the results. Alas, back to Noxzema and Vaseline for my face and Preparation H for my eyes and elsewhere. As Bette Davis once said, “Old age ain’t for sissies.” Have a great weekend, […]

From the yellowing Society Page of the D’Lo Gazette comes this snap of the town’s most famous socialite, Mr. Digsby Fairweather, creator of the D’Lo High-Steppers Club. That’s not a scientific wonder he’s wearing, but simply a piece of fancy-dress fun for the club’s annual costume ball. The article opined that, if lucky, he could […]

Yikes! Senior Alert! The old coot to which this costume belongs was last seen wearing it on stage at the Mary C. He has now escaped from his enclosure and is on the run! If you should see him, he may or may not respond to his real name, Ebenezer Scrooge. He may, however, answer […]

And the caption reads, “Honey! What are you laughin’ at? This old broad behind me just goosed me. I’m a quart low!” Today, even if you are a quart low, it’s Friday. Take heart! The weekend awaiteth! Later TGIF Gaters! (Originally posted July 29, 2022)

Greetings! Since I’ve let me hair return to its natural color–thinning and white–what about growing a beard? Just a thought. And here’s an old adage about greying, white hair.

Ever since something strange fell from the sky in Roswell, New Mexico, many believe that aliens walk among us. Thanks to David Slatten’s amazing drawing of one, perhaps it is true.

I’m at wit’s end! Louie and his shenanigans are about to send me to Whitfield. Here’s the latest. I’m cleaning house and washing clothes.

Meanwhile, in other Coastal automotive news, I present this gem for your perusal. I can hear the greasy, gold-toothed car salesman’s pitch now. “It’s a car for all budgets.

His unexpected fishing venture […]

Just think, my young, ambitious tots: if you apply yourself, get a good education, and keep your nose clean, you, too, will be able to buy a cool pair of fashionable granny glasses, wear cool sweater vests, and let your hair grow luxuriously long.

I love pithy idioms – a bee in your bonnet, ants in your pants, or bats in your belfry. However, the idiom that might accompany this picture…well…I’m gonna leave it up to the viewer. (LOL!)

Of course not. And so, not long after we arrived, we found ourselves under attack by dive-bombing birds. It was like a scene straight […]

For your perusal this morning, I present this picture of an old coot who’s napping on the taxpayer’s dime! Thankfully, not all Mississippi State Employees are this derelict in their duties!
