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, other than the glory/infamy of being chosen.
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
2014 CAPTION CONTEST, Week 8. This week’s pic idea comes from the great Steve Stripling, a very funny guy who actually commutes from Alaska to sing in the Vocal Majority – if you haven’t seen his "musical hands" video, you haven’t really experienced all that life has to offer! The Iditarod starts on Saturday, and well, this is my take on it. (BTW, I’m pretty sure Steve pictured me DRIVING the sled.)

The Iditarod's new non-discrimination policy didn't work out quite the way it was intended.

Re: Caption contest
WOW – I just can never tell what pictures will get you all worked up, but there were a flood of entries for this week’s Iditarod-themed contest! This week’s winner is my Vocal Majority brother G Scott Lewis, his second win of this year! Congratulations, Scott!
Honorable Mentions: DisneyMom: "I thought the 'FROZEN' adventure by Disney would be a little different...."; Joel Bezaire: "Hey, look, it's the Idiot-arod."; Zazu: "The Iditarod's new non-discrimination policy didn't work out quite the way it was intended."; and from Bill Carleton, a VM inside joke that I’m not going to even try to explain… but it’s funny to us: "He's been sledding across the sea, we've been waiting so anxiously, hoping and praying for word that he's returning from o'er the tundra..."
Thanks to all who entered! New picture coming Monday!

Re: Caption contest
I just thought it was unfair that when the dogs get booties, you're stuck with your bare hands. Hope you survived the frostbite.
My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Gotta admit that this was an absolute winner.
