Week 27 Caption Contest results! First the Honorable Mentions: ktulu: "Mr. Randall, for the 100th time, we're not going to give you the special pat down. Now go get on your flight!"; Rick Bivins: "Mr. Randall, at this point we need to discuss the term, 'where the moon don't shine.'"; Steven Jones: "No, Mr. Randall, we won't be keeping or selling pictures. We're fairly certain nobody would be interested in them."; and darph nader: "Due to cutbacks in his medical insurance, it was cheaper to buy an airline ticket than it was to go to the doc for an x-ray."
And this week's winner is Patrick Stayton, who took time out from hustling his family to Jerusalem bomb shelters (wish I was joking) to submit this caption for his third win this year! Congratulations Pat! (Still need that pic of you for the "guest star" role you won for a future contest, if you can!)
Thanks to all who entered! New picture on Monday!
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.

When Wombat fits in with the "Teenaged" cast, it is a sign that the High School Musical series has gone on for far too long...

Re: Caption contest
Week 28 Caption Contest results! Wow, this entry had a lot of very funny (and usually pretty insulting) entries! First the Honorable Mentions: G Scott Lewis: "While not good enough to make the VM front row, Wombat easily danced his way into a starring role in High School Musical: Wombat Gets His GED"; DisneyMom: "The kids weren't anticipating 'Audience Participation' at the Senior Center."; Zazu : "Wombat thinks his chances of graduating this year are better than ever."; YANXWIN: "Just because you win a little award doesn't mean it turned back the clock on your age 40 years."; and Kelly Patton: "Brandon and Benjamin Randall have officially changed their names after learning their father was going to be the drama teacher at their high school."
And the very first entry in this week’s contest, from my VM brother Rick Bivins, took the prize -- his very first win! Congratulations Rick!

Wombat juuuuuuust missed his audition to be the 5th member of the squad.
Apparently 'paddle-planet' wasn't a skill they were lookin for.

Re: Caption contest
Week 29 Caption Contest results! Sorry for the delay, folks -- SGT was having server issues, and I wanted to make sure all the entries were accounted for! Thanks to ktulu for getting things up and running again!
And good thing he did; the Honorable Mentions are all SGT folk! DisneyMom: "Wombat demonstrates why Earthlings need more time to evolve...."; ktulu: "If you win a Gold Medal, they'll let you do pretty much whatever you want."; and darph nader: "Wombat juuuust missed his audition to be the 5th member of the squad. Apparently 'paddle-planet' wasn't a skill they were looking for."
And the winner -- once again -- is Alan AJ Irby, his sixth win this year, and thirteenth overall! Congratulations AJ!
