Caption contest

A place to be entertained. Videos, jokes, games, and more.
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.

The Wombat caption contest will go on hiatus over the next couple of weeks while I compete with VM, so I thought I'd just run three pictures this week... Vegas-themed, of course! This is the first of three Vegas-themed pictures for this week's contest -- two more to come! How would you caption this picture? Comment below!

Please either quote this post or identify the picture ("1st pic" or "Rat Pack") so I know which picture you are captioning!

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, just the glory of winning!
Not wanting to rain on their parade,Wombat decided to bow out this time.
And that marked the beginning of the end of the Rat Pack. No one took them seriously after that!

It was said that Wombat had a split personality, however, no one knew it was that severe.

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?

On another note, Wombat... I am so glad you came over to the blue side!

So this week we are the Blue Marsupial Welcoming Committee.

For reference, both of these images are from Halloween 2001 when I surprised the kids on my bus. They couldn't decide if I was part of Blue Man Group or a Smurf.

Never did get the stains out of that shirt.

On the afternoon run, I had four moms come up to my bus and ask if I had used pancake before putting on the makeup.

I had a blue tint for the next four days.

And now you've seen what I looked like with enough hair to mention.

Wow, love it. It is so much less hassle with photo-editing software, though -- no ruined clothing or lingering tint in the skin. Still, we should totally make the Blue Marsupial Welcoming Committee a thing.

Week 25 Caption Contest results – second picture! First the Honorable Mentions: Big Wallaby: "That was when Brad found out what they do to lawyers in Las Vegas... and that sawing a woman in half was not ALWAYS a trick."; Chase Gooding: "See, I told you his head was stuck up there!"; Bear Deardorff: "Wombat breaks into song once more with his rendition of Yesterday... 'I'm not half the man I used to be....'"; and Alan AJ Irby: "Started out as an audience volunteer, ended up as this generation's Siegfried and Roy incident."

And I really can’t explain why today's second winner's caption makes me laugh as much as it does – but it does, so darph nader gets his second win of the year! Congratulations, darph!

Thanks to all who entered! Results for the final picture coming soon!
