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!

    Swinging from chandeliers will have to be one of those mysteries that stays in the 50’s.

    So sorry Pam! Speedy recovery!

    Oh no Damn Tiki Gods at it again! Ever since that episode with the Brady Bunch in Hawaii I have feared the Tiki Gods. Get better and drink lots of Mai Tais!

    Bless your heart, Pam. I’m so sorry this misfortune has befallen you. (Get it?) That’s all the wit I’ve got after the first day of school with 25 first graders, but know that you are being prayed for from deep in the Bible Belt. Kate too, as she steps up to fill some awfully big blogging shoes. Hang in there, both of you, and I look forward to regular progress reports! xoxo, Laurie

    Speedy recovery!

    “Somebody call Barb S. in Cleveland, STAT! I know she has 50 spaghetti lamps just waiting to replace the ones I broke!”

    Kidding, I think! Gosh, Pam, we all hope you get better soon. Hard to joke at a time like this šŸ™‚

    Someone was talking smack about spaghetti globe lights, and the next thing I knew, I was sipping tapioca from my favorite Tiki mug. But you should see the OTHER guy! Ha ha!

    Well, way to go, Pam Dangerous!

    A song? I thought you would never ask. Everyone, “Tiny bubbles………”

    “Honey, you had better start searching Craigslist for a vintage bidet.”

    Thought I posted this already but guess it didn’t go through. Sorry, couldn’t resist the humor. Heal quick and strong, Pam.
