It’s Pam’s Pity Party, and you’re invited: Caption contest!

Kate - Updated: November 11, 2020

Retro Renovation stopped publishing in 2021; these stories remain for historical information, as potential continued resources, and for archival purposes.

Pam-broken-armCROPTime for an impromptu caption contest. It was an exciting weekend at Pam’s house… 

A broken arm and wrist — in like five places, the word “shattered” was used.

Ok, possibly too exciting of a weekend for Pam’s taste, but she is in good spirits and has decided that a caption contest will help aid her speedy recovery — laughter is the best medicine, right?

Pam-caption-contestCROPHere’s some material to work with:

  • The injury was tiki decorating related. There was NO RUM involved, but Pam now is giving her barkcloth samples the evil eye. Other fun props in this adventure: Three colorful spaghetti globe lights — oh so sparkly underfoot as you fly past them overhead!
  • The ER at Fairview Hospital in Great Barrington, Mass. was fantastic. They keep their blankies in a blanket warmer. Pam says the doctor was particularly cute, but admits, that could be the Percocet talking.
  • Pam is right handed and says, “Good luck surviving this, Kate, as you will have to do EVERYTHING for the blog for the next 6-8 weeks until the cast comes off. In the meantime, I will be taking this time to become a better person, starting with reviewing my own safety advice.””

Full story to come on Wednesday. Until then, let’s come up with some funny captions for this pathetic photo of Pam to help cheer her up. Winner gets a $25 gift card.

Ready, GO!

    Pardon me, but do you have any Grey Poupon?

    Sorry to hear you got hurt Pam. Take it easy and don’t overdo anything. Hope you heal really fast. Take the best of care.

      I like this. Very clever. Almost like Scooby saying “ruh-roh”.

    “He looked like Chad Everett on ‘Marcus Welby.’ Even my doctors are Retro.”

      I think Chad Everett was on Medical Center!! My aunt, who lived in Dearborn, Michigan, new Chad Everett in high school, but I think he went to school in Livonia.

      Anyway, you might be thinking of James Brolin from Marcus Welby, MD. I know it isn’t a big deal but my oldest sister would not forgive me if I didn’t clarify the actor with the appropriate tv show! šŸ™‚

        I meant “KNEW Chad Everett”, not “new”. Ugh, I hate errors like that.

    Put the lime in the coconut and drink them both together…
    Put the lime in the coconut, then you feel better!

    Your caption could be either, “I have a boo boo!” or “I was injured in the line of duty!” I recently injured my ankle. I had never done anything like that before and have a new appreciation for people with sprains and breaks.
