Caption contest
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Brad soon regretted volunteering to be in the canoe for the recording of the Vocal Majority's "I want a hippogriff for Christmas" video.

Re: Caption contest
Aaaand it only took until the third week of 2014 for last year’s champ to take the prize*! Congratulations Alan AJ Irby on your first win of 2014!
Honorable Mentions: Alan AJ Irby (again): "J.K. Rowling's idea for an 8th novel, 'Harry Potter and the Wombat,' never made it beyond concept level."; DisneyMom: "While introducing his two friends, Harry forgot that 'Wombat' is a favorite Hippogriff treat...."; and PatchOBlack: "Brad soon learns why there is a 'No boating' sign for the lake near Hogwarts...."
Thanks to all who entered! New picture coming Monday – along with a big announcement!
*Still no prize… yet.

Re: Caption contest
The Hub... The... Hub... Hmm... Says there's a really neat statue there, and right next to a castle. Anyone know where to find The Hub? Maybe we should ask that Photopass guy over there.
My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?
Re: Caption contest

They have a meet and greet for you Mickey, and for you Goofy. Why don't I see one for marsupials anywhere?
