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 43 Caption Contest results! I really missed the suggestions from those of you here (thanks, YANXWIN, for at least providing one SGT entry!), what with SGT being down most of the week, but there was still plenty of hilarity from other sources. First, the Honorable Mentions: Jay Marsh: "Practicing his grand entry for the Hunger Games, it was too late to reconsider the spray glue on his skinny jeans."; Bill Carleton: "And this why you never, EVER, put a wombat on the front row!"; and Rich Eick: "Brad, not being a bass, had to prove he is worthy of singing Ring of Fire."
And for the second week in a row, your Caption Contest winner is ktulu, his sixth win in 2014 and tenth overall! Congratulations, ktulu!
Thanks to all who entered! New picture on Monday! (It might be themed to an upcoming holiday.)

2014 CAPTION CONTEST, Week 44 -- My mom: "So what are you doing for your picture this week?" Me: "Something Thanksgiving-related. Maybe that Norman Rockwell painting." My mom: "What, with you as the turkey?"
I was more thinking "as the Grandmother" until then. In other words, blame my Mom for the turkey-related nightmares you have this week. And enjoy your dinner Thursday!
So 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. No prize this week, sorry, just the glory of winning!

Re: Caption contest
Wombat realized he was in trouble when even his mom thought he was a total turkey.

While a fitting use for a turkey attorney, no one in there right mind would eat any of that "sue"-age.

Re: Caption contest
How do you keep a turkey in suspense?
I'll tell you after Wombat announces this week's winner on Friday.

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

Instead of a turkey Grandpa came back from the store with a wombat. Grandma hoped the family would not notice the difference and vowed never to send Grandpa out for anything again.

Re: Caption contest
The President decided to pardon all the turkeys at Thanksgiving this year, leaving families nothing but a surplus of lawyers to roast...which wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

Re: Caption contest
Grandma always has a good juicy lawyer for Thanksgiving. I wonder who is it this year?
