Time 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?
Here’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!

“As soon as this darn Percocet wears off, you can bet your barkcloth that there WILL be rum involved!!”
If you need more cheering up, just let us know. I bet 3/4 of us could share similar stories. Get better soon!!

Precautionary Pam warning–there is a risk of thumb injury associated with the race to be first on the retro www.

Not really up for consideration because Moon Martin is the author but–(hats off to the late, great Robert Palmer)–cannot resist:
“Tiki, Tiki — Gave me the blues — I’ve got a bad case of loving you.”

“…with aluminum edging?” (Nice one, Shann!)
Oh, Pam this Pam feels your pain! Having had three surgeries on my dominant wrist/forearm. Managing one handed is tricky, but do-able. Just don’t plan to hang any wallpaper for a few months.

I’m so sorry to see this, take it easy on the arm and don’t get stressed, it’ll heal eventually and it’ll make for a funny (I hope) story in the future!

“I love the 50s, but boy am I glad to enjoy the perks of 21st Century medicine. Percocet is one of those perks, it’s the Mother’s Little Helper of Today!”

So endeth Pam’s illustrious Samoan kickboxing career.
