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
CAPTION CONTEST RESULTS! First, your Honorable Mentions: hhsrat: "No, I didn't slip anything into this pizza. And no, we're not about to steal all your land. Trust me, I'm a lawyer!"; Kevin Kavanagh: "It's not delivery, it's da Wombat."; Tim Bird: "Having taken an extra-long drag from the natives' peace pipe, Wombat secured the best option he could think of to satisfy the resulting munchies."; Brooks Harkey: "Since inventing it in 1621, Wombat has found that a steady diet of pizza has kept him looking much younger than his actual age."; and Scott Stogius Maximus Lewis: "The natives showed the white man how to raise corn. Wombat showed the natives how to raise their cholesterol."

Re: Caption contest
CAPTION CONTEST for DECEMBER 4! But first an announcement -- I'll likely be shutting down the Wombat Caption Contest at the end of the year, at least as a regular, weekly occurrence. It's been a good run of three years, but I want to call it quits before I burn out or start repeating myself. I'll probably put a picture up to caption every now and then, but just not every week.
So, if you can choke back the tears... 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, just the glory of winning!

Re: Caption contest
Little did Wombat know he was only cast as Tiny Tim because the casting director misunderstood what they meant when they said the character is suppose to be "lame"…
Just kidding, Wombat! Keep bringing us these awesome pictures to caption!

Re: Caption contest
CAPTION CONTEST RESULTS! Lots of funny this week! First, the Honorable Mentions: Woody Woods: "They say TV adds 10 pounds. Few know that the stage cuts your weight in half!"; Alan AJ Irby: "Unfortunately, in the editing of Charles Dickens' final draft, 'Winsome Wombat' did not read as well as 'Tiny Tim', and history was forever changed…"; Paul Burton: "God bless us, every Wom-bat!"; Don Kistler: "The change from 'Bah, Humbug' to 'Bah, Wombat' was an easy one."; Jay Marsh: "Mistaking him for a fourth spirit, Scrooge quickly grabbed the Ghost of Wombat Yet to Come & threw him into the orchestra pit."; and ktulu: "Opening night for the off-Avenue B production of 'Put That Thing Back Where You Found It Or so Help Me!' was a huge success!"
And the top caption this week -- the first win this year and third overall -- comes from our own PatchOBlack! Congratulations, Patchy!
