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.

As the Stars try to secure a playoff spot, Brad managed to get a tryout as a "faceoff specialist". The team cut him after only 5 seconds.

Re: Caption contest
Week 13’s contest brought the second win of 2014 to my longtime friend Bob Littlepage! Congratulations, Bob! You win this week’s caption contest, one billion dollars cash, and the love and respect of millions! (One of those is true.)
Honorable Mentions: darph nader: "You're going to like the way you look -- I guarantee it."; Zazu: "And if you decide you don't want a second date, you wear this one!"; hhsrat: "As the Stars try to secure a playoff spot, Brad managed to get a tryout as a 'faceoff specialist.' The team cut him after only 5 seconds."; Jay Marsh: "Sorry, but we are fresh out of Wombat masks. How about this thing instead?"; Patrick Stayton, to the tune of "The Music of the Night": "Softly, deftly, this mask shall caress you. Take it, feel it secretly possess you. Open up your mind. Leave your wimpy mask behind. Put this on because you know that I am right. It's time to give them all a proper fright!"; and ktulu: "Brad unveils his latest collection entitled, 'My kids need therapy.'"
Thanks to all who entered! New picture coming Monday!

2014 CAPTION CONTEST, Week 14. How would you caption this picture?
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.

Re: Caption contest
At that point, Obi Wan knew the lifespan of the optical sensor on an R2 unit was shorter than the time this R2 unit had been in operation.
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?

In this clip that ended up on the cutting room floor, our heroes check to see if there is any other important messages left in R2-D2. There wasn't.
