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.

The sequel to Dickens' A Christmas Carol included the ghost of baritones past. Needless to say, it wasn't as widely distributed.

Fortunately, in the final draft of the story, Dickens wisely took out the "Ghost of Christmas Litigation".

Wombat's memory was short about pointing at funny hats.BRWombat wrote:Yeah, sorry leftcoaster, you were the first with that reference, but I thought ktulu's was the funnier line. You may appeal the decision, however; official protest forms are available on the third floor of the the United Arab Emirates consulate in Kiev. Ask for "Jeff."
2014 CAPTION CONTEST, Week 46 -- I bet you'll have fun with this one. How would you caption this picture? Comment below!
The same pic will show here, on Facebook, and on The World of Wombat. I'll repost the pic with my favorite caption on Friday. No prize this week, sorry, just the glory of winning!

Re: Caption contest
Week 46 Caption Contest results! Quite a lot of 'haunting' humor this week! First, the Honorable Mentions: Brandon Randall, with the short but sweet: "That's a hat!"; two from ktulu: "...and I'm the ghost of Christmas Gas. Pull my finger." and "Have you been dragged out of bed in the middle of the night by a dead business partner? Harassed by ghosts for past mistakes? Call the law firm of Wombat and Wombat. We're ready to 'believe' you!"; G Scott Lewis (warning: barbershop insider humor): "The Scrooge Quartet nails the tag, but the KIBBER judge on the left was not impressed with the female bass."; and Wayne Franklin: "It was the Ghost of 'Time is an Arbitrary Construct Created by Man to Measure his Mortality' that truly frightened Ebenezer."
And the top caption this week comes from our resident dragon Lasolimu, his second Caption Contest win! Congratulations, Lasolimu!
Thanks to all who entered! New picture on Monday!
