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.

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Re: Caption contest
While the promise of an actual prize – and some additional publicity on the PassPorter Facebook page – drew in a lot of first-time entrants, it was this entry from contest regular Alan AJ Irby that made me laugh the most! A.J., you just really get my sense of humor, which should frighten you greatly. But congratulations, you’ve won a brand new PassPorter Walt Disney World 2014!
All of the Honorable Mentions are from Stupid Guest Tricks this week! Widget: "The start time for the 3 o'clock parade must be in the book somewhere."; actual PassPorter contributor Zazu: "'Wait! Is that a photo of Zazu on the PassPorter Team page?' 'Ah-hyuck!' 'Well, there goes the credibility of this guidebook.'"; Lasolimu: "This guide talks about getting a picture in front of the castle, but I can't seem to find this castle anywhere."; and hhsrat: "Why doesn't this thing have directions to Hogwarts?"
Thanks to all who entered! New picture coming Monday – no prize next week, but I do have another PassPorter to give away sometime, so watch for another prize contest soon!

Re: Caption contest
2014 CAPTION CONTEST, Week 5. 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. Sorry, no prize this week, other than the glory/infamy of being chosen.
