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
Week 30 Caption Contest results! You all seemed to get a kick out of this one! First the Honorable Mentions: Alan AJ Irby: "Nothing but blinding whiteness everywhere you look."; Graham Smith: "Sorry Fritz, looks like the American got the beach chair first this time."; Larry E Collins: "I'm from Texas... I STILL haven't cooled off yet!"; Kathrine Ricks Seale: "Hey, guys...my sherpa ran off with ALL my stuff! Got some sunscreen?"; and YANXWIN: "It's about time you got here. After my tremendous win in Vegas, I am taking a well-deserved break. Is my cabana ready yet? I think this trip should be comped. I can't even see the pool from here."
And the winner is kcberlin, who (as far as I can tell) has never entered before, and wins on his first try! Congratulations!
Thanks to all who entered! New picture on Monday!

My first week back in a long time, and I put one in the W column. Sadly, this may be one of the proudest moments of my life.

Think of it as great resume filler material, especially for when you don't care whether or not you get the job.kcberlin wrote:My first week back in a long time, and I put one in the W column. Sadly, this may be one of the proudest moments of my life.

Re: Caption contest
I said "Look for the Bear Necessities"! How many bears (or any other creatures) do you know that need a pet cat?
