DELERY GAZETTE (Oct 1, 2026) — These are 2 of my granddaughters who are now in college (L) and high school (r). Their sister (the middle one, Dori) is now in high school. She is always busy outside enjoying sports or in the back yard in the middle of a project. Since we are in “festival season” in Louisiana, I will bring a sack of crawfish, a sack of crabs and my crawfish boiling pot and burner to their house for them to boil a delicious seafood boil for me and them.
My granddaughters.
Here is a clip of Halfa’ Pint that I made at Delery Studio. I hope that you enjoy! Plus, the movie trailer below the clip is from my book DRIVE WOMEN CRAZY!
This is a movie clip (below) that is a trailer from my book DRIVE WOMEN CRAZY. I hope to remake the movie with newer themes for this later generation.
Women who heard about my book eventually piled up on me and “flipped the script” in order to win the rubber match (like Ali’s Thrilla In Manilla, except I lost). Now that I am old, I am not driving women crazy. I stay locked up in my house, dreaming and longing for the good old days. I might write a new book before I die and maybe call it WOMEN WERE FERDIE’S DOWNFALL!
This is the movie (below) that I posted. However, I am having trouble getting the link to work. So, I posted the above video so that in the meantime you can watch that until I get the link to the movie to work.
Also, I am very interested in writing about the climate in this country that Donald Trump has brought upon us. I do not know if any president has ever taken America so close to the brink. Anyway…
After you finish watching the clip, I also wanted you to hear O.J. Simpson’s latest video on Twitter.
This lady is fine, and I have become a big fan of hers. She might be on a series on TV presently, but I do not know the name of the show. I am waiting to see if she comes out in any movies in the near future. Her star is rising.
This is another foxy lady whom I admire. I have not seen her much on the Internet lately, but I will search to see if she retired or what. I used to see her regularly enough on the Internet. If I can find out some information on her, I will come back in and let you know. Maybe, she retired.
I was born in Cajun Country. I am looking right now for the map that showed me this. VOILA! Here it is. Cajun Country is highlighted in gold. Yes, I was solidly born in Cajun Country.
They say Cajun Country is highlighted in gold. I want to write about other maps that I saw.
No! No! No!
I see problems with the red in this map ⬇️. We need a debate. The map in gold above is the first map that I pulled up. I would like to open a thread on Twitter or somewhere to open the dialogue in order to confirm definitions. Acadiana and Cajun Country may have inherently different basic definitions. Did “foreigners” align the map in red?
Oh, my goodness! This Louisiana tradition of having crawfish with the Easter meal is something that is popular. I do not know when it started, but I see it widespread on Easter Sunday. I surely had crawfish with me Easter Sunday meal this year.
What Am I Thinking About?
NOTE: I have stuff to say about what I was thinking during the snapping of the picture posted below ⬇️, and will write more after the game. UPDATE: I am studying the truth of whether the phrase “the pen is mightier than the sword” is a proven fact. With all of the current deaths (including many children) in Iran caused by U.S. strikes, I wonder if the old saying about the pen is accurate.
GAZETTE (March 10, 2026) — I will explain (№1) what I was thinking during this picture, and (№2) the results of my study of whether or not the pen is mightier than the sword. For now, I have to remember why people say that the pen is so powerful. I will get back to you. I am simultaneously watching CNN NEWS which is reporting on some BREAKING NEWS.
Watching Popeye recently I noticed:
Meanwhile, I was recently tickled to see that Popeye the Sailor Man cartoons were integrated.
I used some of my college Psych 101 studies for my book, I HAVE A DREAM! https://a.co/d/0wPSoO5 >>You may also ask yourself if any of the pages in my book reveal answers to the collapsing world around us. Is our world sliding into hell in a hand basket… and with whom? Who is this Antichrist?
Again, I just had to mention that I recently saw in a Popeye cartoon on TV that the show had a diverse cast. See a minority in the picture in the bottom row, left. Back in those early years, there usually was no effort made to throw a minority in the mix.
Then, I wanted to say that one of my favorite foods is soft shell crab. Delicious!
This ⬇️ is another soft shell crab platter that I bought. Yummy! It was delicious. You do not know what you missed.
Meanwhile, our bad Wolf is contemplating dealing for another bird >>behind curtain #3? If he gets da Bride of Frakenstein behind curtain №3, he has two birds. Hope he does not get a Zonk. Like they say, a bird in hand is better than 2 in a bush. Our Wolf wants two.
Our Wolf wants 2 birds in hand.
Y’all often hear me talk about the movie BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1935) which I like. In 2026, Maggie Gyllenhaal produced THE BRIDE with Jessie Buckley as the bride of Frankenstein. The 2026 movie lost a lot of money, and is a hodgepodge of a plot. However, I am in wuv with both actresses (1935 and 2026). Just call me Frankenstein, I guess 🙂.
I have started enjoying the later version, THE BRIDE, a little more each time I watch it. I have not watched it straight through yet; I watch it in pieces. It does not flow too well, in my opinion. I like the 1935 version more. Just think, the original movie premiered almost 100 years ago.
Released in March 2026 to mixed reviews and modest box office, THE BRIDE explores themes of creation, rebellion, and outcast romance through Buckley’s dual performance as the author Mary Shelley and the bride. I plan to soon watch the film from start to finish since, so far, I have only watched it piecemeal catching it mostly on cable already in progress.
New Orleans (2026) — Life is a mystery! Picture the fear of waking up on Mardi Gras Day in New Orleans and finding no one around. NO ONE!! Did I wake up dead? No! I am referring to the opening scenes of my book. Those words above are not a real-life scenario.
I am explaining here why I took on the cloak of the Big Bad Wolf after I wrote my book. It is now a tradition of mine to mask as the Big Bad Wolf on costume holidays. This tradition began after I wrote about “a monster” (da monster) in my book, I HAVE A DREAM!
The issue is: how would my protagonist look? This question was in my mind ever since I wrote the first words in scene one. That is why he/it lives in my mind every second of my life. I mask as a Big Bad Hound, but my protagonist is not a werewolf. He is human.
I have an agent (or two) right now hounding me every day to move forward, go to this book festival or that, do this, do that. There is a big book festival coming in CALI (largest in the country) with many movie people in attendance. My agent is pushing on me right now to attend and present my story. Who could play the monster part? I have to present my book, my vision to the powers that be.
How does da monster look? Who could play the part? Who could embody the role? That is why I daily live cloaked as da hound, and mask as him on holidays. I am developing in my mind who to put on the screen. Come to think of it, I need to call my agent/agents soon to give them my vision of the star. I never did say da monster’s real name even in the book.
I give the definition further below.
GAZETTE (OCT. 31, 2024) — It is Halloween time. I am masking as the Big Bad Wolf.
BEWARE! I will be out there. I will get you. ⬇️Then, on Friday it is ALL SAINTS DAY! ⬇️⬇️
I will look up the date of this picture ⬇️, but here I am leaning on my dad’s headstone some years ago on ALL SAINTS DAY. That is my sister sitting on someone else’s grave. I have told relatives that I have at times awaken at home with the ghost of my daddy sitting on the edge of my bed… my grandpa Cates too. I just said, “Hey,”… then they left.
I explain here why I am the Big Bad Wolf. It is a tradition which began after I wrote about “a monster” in my book, I HAVE A DREAM! Ever since “the monster” came alive in the first words of my book, I have masked as the Big Bad Wolf. People thought that I was writing about myself anyway. Picture the fear of waking up on Mardi Gras Day in New Orleans and finding no one around. NO ONE!! Did I wake up dead?
The Definition
Definition: the Big Bad Wolf does what he does. That is not an actual legalese definition, but I think that you get it. The Big Bad Wolf is one who goes after Little Red Riding Hood. That is his job.
Do you watch LET’S MAKE A DEAL?
Our bad Wolf is contemplating dealing for another bird >>behind curtain #3. If he gets da Bride of Frakenstein ⬇️ behind the curtain, he has two birds.Hope he does not get a Zonk. Like they say, a bird in hand is better than 2 in a bush.
Guests on LET’S MAKE A DEAL often give up nice winnings to go for the big deal. This afternoon a lady gambled a fine, expensive vacation; and won a fridge instead. If I ever won a nice deal, vacation, money, car why would I even think of giving it back to go for the big deal? A bird in hand is better than two in a bush!
This is my guardian angel. ⬇️
Thank you, Abba Father!
I wrote about Ash Wednesday and Lent. ⬇️
After Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras Day, many Christians turn away from the celebrations and begin a period of sacrifice and fasting in preparation for Easter Sunday and the Resurrection of Jesus from the grave. Mardi Gras represents our last fling before turning to 40 days of worship.
Gazette (Dec. 13, 2025) — Happy Birthday to my four December siblings. I found an oldie but goodie picture of the four of us, but I am looking for a recent Now picture of us that I wanted to post. Meanwhile, I found this picture⬇️ taken recently of two of us. So, I have to find a picture with the other two (my sisters).
Post № 2 >>Pictured here are my 2 sisters born in Dec. That is I (bottom left in picture w/ the #BFF blur). I am 1 of 2 sons born in Dec. to my mama. pic.twitter.com/2DfLmy18p7
Gazette (Oct. 20 2025) — I was happy with today’s announcement of who won the 2025 Nobel Peace Price. In fact, I do not think that a better choice could have been made at this point in time.

Meanwhile, I still list the video ⬇️ as in/work which I reference in the link below. It is fine. However, I want to clean it up a tad bit more before I call it finished. I will notify you here once I get it totally corrected and finito.
Progress So Far
I am still working on clearing up and cleaning up the video. I put the link here⬇️ of what I have so far until I can post the completed video to explain more perfectly what I am trying to say. P.S. I think that it is okay for now:
I wanted to say good morning with a brief video. I am stuck in a rabbit hole. If I led you down this rabbit hole with me, I hope that you find something awakening. I put a link where I hope that you will find an answer. https://t.co/YTxyHfAOUMpic.twitter.com/gxrDtgOPYT
On the left ⬇️ we see Bunny Wunnie №2 who seems invincible, and who can do whatever crazy/illegal stuff he wants. This Bunny Wunnie can spend billions of taxpayer dollars willy nilly for his own desires (the WH ballrom, for example) while taking away health care from millions of citizens. Woe to justice in America.
Here is a thought to think about⬇️. I just now saw this on the Internet. What a heavy-weight bout that would be? Stupid (L) vs. gravitas (R)! What do you think about them apples? pic.twitter.com/rfseWwe6ZS
In the article that I wrote below at Boscoville, I am referring to the Mardi Gras poster at the link⬇️. Like I said, the Mardi Gras poster at the link is one of my favorites.
I will write (in the next day or so) what I think history will say of our current times. Who knows whom history will be kinder to.
We can see the kind of man Donald Trump is by how he treats the children caught up in his deportation raids. People in California started protesting Trump’s immoral and illegal raids. So, Trump’s answer is to send in thousands of National Guard troops and Marines. Oh, my God! This is an invasion of California by insurrectionist Trump. He is a Nazi criminal.
Children of undocumented migrants are reportedly being placed in custody, separated from their parents who are en route to deportation in the current crackdown. How did ICE expect the majority minority city of LA to react?
Incarnation (or The INCARNATION) means that God took human form in the body of Christ. The doctrine is based on the paradox that because God was incarnated in Christ, Christ was both fully human and fully God at the same time. For Lent, I am studying this much more deeply. BTW, The Church festival commemorating the announcement (Annunciation) of the Incarnation by Gabriel the Archangel to Mary is held on March 25 (Lady Day). How often have I driven on and parked on Annunciation St. in New Orleans from the Crescent City Connection to the uptown Walmart w/o ever making that miraculous connection in my mind?
GAZETTE (New Orleans) — When Mary accepted God’s offer to bear and give birth to Jesus (Conceptio Christi), the Word (of God) became one of us. God became “incarnate,” with a body like ours; hence the name Incarnate Word. Because of His resurrection, the Incarnate Word continues to dwell among us. The Resurrection is celebrated on Easter Sunday.
Conceptio Christi is a Christian holiday commemorating the visit of the angel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary, where he announced that she would give birth to Jesus Christ.
Going back further, even unto the Old Testament, this boy (below) wants to know how people inhabited the earth.
His daddy had already told him that people multiplied from Adam and Eve.
I made a note for y'all in the below video. Follow me down this rabbit hole for a possible golden nugget.
This video shows me telling you something about the Easter time March 25th Feast of the Annunciation or Lady Day that I recently spoke about. I thought that I should share this with you. I mispronounced the Greek phrase Conceptio Christi. I will redo the video one day to correct my mispronounciation. Click:
Feast of Conceptio Christi
Speaking of feasts, I have a question about the picture of the pan of deliciousness that is shown here.
The caption called this #NewOrleans stuffed bell peppers. My question is: do people make these in other parts of the country? pic.twitter.com/WSzxad6MGr
TERROR NIGHTS is based on my books TERROR SCROLLS and I HAVE A DREAM found at http://www.fdelery.com. Hopefully, Part II will define some of the keys of the Scrolls that the scholars are divining. The star of the book, Joe, may just be a homicidal maniac.
Here is a picture from the past in my football days. Not too many years after this picture, I lead our school football team to an undefeated season. I was the quarterback (Drew Brees in the making).
This is a cute picture of Melania Trump. I am not sure yet that I will post it to the DELERY GAZETTE. I think this picture was juxtaposed against the pictures of all of the other recent first ladies dressed more formally. I am referring to the picture below of Melania relaxing on the airplane. She is a lovely lady. Yes, Donald is a lucky man.
UPDATE: I plan to take a few minutes today or tomorrow to write briefly about all of my meals from yesterday. I was surprised to find out when I woke up today that I gained only 1 pound.
Positively 4th Street
by Bob Dylan You’ve got a lotta nerve to say you are my friend
When I was down you just stood there grinnin’
You’ve got a lotta nerve to say you got a helping hand to lend
You just want to be on the side that’s winnin’
You say I let you down, ya know its not like that
If you’re so hurt, why then don’t you show it?
You say you’ve lost your faith, but that’s not where its at
You have no faith to lose, and ya know it
I know the reason, that you talked behind my back
I used to be among the crowd you’re in with
Do you take me for such a fool, to think I’d make contact
With the one who tries to hide what he don’t know to begin with?
You see me on the street, you always act surprised
You say “how are you?”, “good luck”, but ya don’t mean it
When you know as well as me, you’d rather see me paralyzed
Why don’t you just come out once and scream it
No, I do not feel that good when I see the heartbreaks you embrace
If I was a master thief perhaps I’d rob them
And tho I know you’re dissatisfied with your position and your place
Don’t you understand, its not my problem?
I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment I could be you
Yes, I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
You’d know what a drag it is to see you.
Here is a picture of my brother and sister who have taught me (Ferdie Werdie) many lessons in life. Among those lessons is that it is sometimes important to stand up for your rights and dignity in this world. Too many people want you to just lie down and be stepped on. I have seen my brother and sister stand up for their rights, and I wish that I could be as brave as they are.
My brother and sister, Carl and Joan.
I have to look for Amy Adams’ latest movie. I saw her recently in a movie on cable, and think she is stunning.
My brother, Carl Delery, asked me several questions recently which I will try to answer here. They are fine questions.
Carl asked:
So, your dreams have beginnings middle and ends? Do you have actors play the parts and even roll the credits at the end? Are all your dreams theatrical productions or maybe some are game shows? If so, do you watch the game show dreams to the end, like the movie dreams, and announce winners?
UPDATE: 2/21/2018 — I plan to take a few minutes today or tomorrow to write briefly about all of my meals from yesterday. I was surprised to find out when I woke up today that I gained only 1 pound.
Carl asked:
Ferd, it sure sounds like you have fun in your dreams. You probably even get to surf through the productions. Do you have instant replay where you can cut and perfect the performances? What do you do if one of your actors get sick, do you have stand-ins? Wow, that’s a thought. Do you have stand-up comedy or musical performances? Man I’m soo intrigued! Who is your favorite performer, is she the redhead? Do you have Shakespeare plays also (To be, or not to be. That is the question.) Is ‘Lil Red’ in Lady McBeth? She must be in a lot of your dreams; King Kong, Pretty Baby, Paper Moon, or in your case Paper Mars (I’m gonna send my wife to Mars.)
I will begin answering Carl once I study his questions. TO BE CONTINUED…

The shroud of Turin (pictured below) is the only physical image
that was left for history (and that image is stamped in the very blood which Jesus shed from the cross). If the message that Jesus taught is spiritual, then photographs,films, audio tapes, etc. seem to be the opposite of how
he wanted to teach. Think of the miracle that it is, in
and of itself, that Jesus’ word has lived. His word is the
greatest recorded message in the history of the world. Yet,
it is just as alive and vibrant as it was when it flowed
off of his tongue. That is why I think the Lord did his
work before the advent of modern recording devices.
I welcome you to email Rev. Ferdinand if there is a
special request that you want us to put on the altar of the
Lord.
The Shroud of Turin
Answer #1 to Carl: Only in my dreams! It is getting late, and I may be falling asleep soon. What can possibly be waiting for me in my dreams? “Ferdie Werdie, where are you? Do you want to visit me in your dreams? I am waiting,” she says.
Ferdie Werdie, where are you?
I saw a report this morning on the local news about how the trend of many people moving back to the #BigEasy (cont) https://t.co/M4J5tD557a
Gazette · @Ferd3desk (cont)…
23rd Mar 2017 I saw a report this morning on the local news about how the trend of many people moving back to the Big Easy after Hurricane Katrina has changed. In my opinion, it is the high taxes, myriad fees and fines, run-away crime rate, government overbearance, inaccurate/incorrect traffic cameras, etc., etc. I dunno’. New Orleans has the highest taxes in the country which all add up to making citizens here feel like victims more than ever. This local government is not user friendly. It is literally totally user un-friendly. http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1spnr11
There is an old Buddhist saying which reminds me of Donald Trump and his #minions. The Buddhists say, “No matter how much you wash a turd, it will not come clean.” Trump and his henchmen will never come clean even when their lies are exposed. We can see with our own eyes that the National Mall at Trump’s inauguration was nearly empty. Yet, he maintains to our faces that he could see millions of people that day from the platform on the Capitol steps. Trump is the historical definition of a turd.
GAZETTE (Sept. 22, 2025) — In 2006 (post Hurricane Katrina) I was an extra in the movie Deja Vu which was filmed in New Orleans. I recently saw the movie on cable while flipping through channels and caught my main scene. I was reminded of when I first saw actress Paula Patton on the set and we laid eyes on each other. It was my first time ever seeing Paula. I have been a fan ever since. I truly got such a big kick this week upon flipping to the channel right before my big scene came up.
Ferdie, honey, your scene was a hit.
I cannot wait for lovely Paula’s next movie to come out. Also on my mind (in other news) is now, with Carolina meeting Denver in the Super Bowl in February, 2016, I want to update my article on the playoffs.
Over the weekend, I somewhat accidentally caught my first Mardi Gras boat parade on Lake Pontchartrain in New Orleans. The parade was lovely and I had an excellent time. The parade was by the Krewe of Bilge.
@ferdiewerdie >>I saw some friends on one of the #MardiGras boats. I boarded it for a moment until it moved on.
I also love my University of New Orleans. When will the state and the LSU Board stop treating the University of New Orleans like a stepchild. We were supposed to have our Division 1 football team by now, but Gov. Bobby Jindal and the LSU Board killed the funding. I am #mad. Can the team plans be resurrected now that we have a new governor with vision and are now governed by a new/different board, the University of Louisiana System?

I was working for the Shuttle program when the Columbia accident happened. I will never forget the shock at watching from the NASA plant at work the Shuttle go down.
There is a case to be made that this is the best crew at NASA (pictured below). I also posted a picture of me below in order to throw myself into consideration for that same honor.
Here is a picture of myself because I now throw myself into the mix of Best Crew even though I was a crew of only one. Sometimes I have to give myself a pat on the back in order to lift my spirits. I am alright too; I am good at stuff.
This is the actual listing by the inspector when he made the pronouncement. I posted my picture above because I did not have a crew, but I was an army of one. I always hungered for recognition for my work. Well, it looks like I have to recognize myself.
My thoughts on Donald Trump leading the polls: With the primaries around the corner, I have decided to follow Donald Trump on Twitter. The very first #real, hard copy vote of the 2016 race will be cast in Iowa on February 1. Then, we have primaries in New Hampshire and S. Carolina. Only then is any vote actually real. Then, this stuff counts; and now I begin to study #DonaldTrump. The real polls begin; the rubber meets the highway… Only #THEN! Some of the earliest primaries are listed below.
I think that I get the point of the below tweet. Is Hillary looking at what I think she is looking at? Plus, who is the girl? She looks like a cutie pie to me. I plan to study the tweet a little bit further in order to find out who the young lady is.
The Donald has received so much media coverage that he has to spend little money on his campaign. I think that this is more luck on his part than planning. He is just fortuitous with how the media has deluged the public with publicity on him.
So, I have spent almost nothing on my run for president and am in 1st place. Jeb Bush has spent $59 million & done. Run country my way!
