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.

Re: Caption contest
Showing great restraint, Brad opted not to take a "selfie", but rather to document the event for posterity.

Re: Caption contest
Wombat had been proud to hear he was named to take part in the Texas Bar induction ceremony ... until he learned he was just the photographer.

Re: Caption contest
CAPTION CONTEST RESULTS! And perfect timing, too, since there's nothing going on in the news that people are commenting about! First, the Honorable Mentions: ktulu: "I said my 'Selfies Throughout History' book would be hysterical, not historical!"; DisneyMom: "Deleted Scene from Game of Thrones: 'Stick the Tourists with the Pointy End.'"; Jay Marsh: "After his embarrassing attempt at painting in Paris, Wombat decides to try photography."; Rick Bivins: "In Spencer's absence, Wombat videos the choreo for the VM's rendition of 'Night at the Coliseum,' an early BHS favorite."; Alan AJ Irby: "A lesser-known Neoclassical work: 'Oath of the Horatii Meets Selfie of the Wombat.'"; Matt McBrayer: "Can you hold that pose just a little longer? The flash on my iPhone didn't go off."; and Eric S. Zipp: "Wait! Wait! This will never work! We were supposed to 'draw straws,' you dummy, not swords!"
And this week's timely winner (Disney parks just banned selfie sticks yesterday) is my cousin Ginger Commander Mann, her first win ever! Congratulations, Ginger!
Thanks to all who entered! NO new fake picture coming on Monday -- I'll be on vacation, and so will the Caption Contest!
