Any chance this actually says "the whole DARND family"?

I think you're right.

That's my impression too. It's a joke because one member of the "family" is a monkey. My mistake: two monkeys

The title is a takeoff on the title of a 1905 silent comedy short, "The Whole Dam Family and the Family Dog" (sequel to another 1905 short, "I. B. Dam and the Dam Family"), which also supplied subject matter for a raft of comic picture postcards. Use of the word "damn" was considered very risque in polite circles then, and even spelling it without the final "n" could bring a frisson of titillation to sensitive auditors. Here is an example of a "Dam Family" postcard: www.slv.vic.gov.au/pcards/0/0/1/doc/pc001380.shtml Incidentally, "darnd" above is a misspelling. It should be "darned."

Unless their last name was Darnd.

Title: When "carneys" were clean. From up here I can see half way up the mountain!

niceeeeeeee

Look at those Colorado ski slopes! This photograph is so beautiful because of all the color. Even though it was a cloudy day and it looks like it's about to rain, the photographer managed to capture such a great photograph.

When a kid I ran away from home because of my wicked stepmom and was given sanctuary with a carnival sideshow. I traveled with them all summer and they were the best family I ever had. However, the carny boss put pressure on me to contact my Dad about a week before school started. Dad was told the skivvy and life was way better once I got home. I cried because I did not want to go home. That is how great these folks were. It was probably, the best summer of my life.

Americana.
