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.

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

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!

Re: Caption contest
CAPTION CONTEST RESULTS! Lots of funny entries this week -- though I admit to being surprised that there was only one "cereal/serial killer" reference, which is kind of the facial expression I was going for! First, the Honorable Mentions: Bob Littlepage: "Kicking off a week celebrating great anti-athletes."; darph nader: "Breakfast… now the scariest meal of the day."; DisneyMom: "In a new 'Watch Your Carbs' campaign, Wheaties has added a new and intimidating spokesmodel."; two from ktulu: "When Brad told his kids he was watching, always watching... he wasn't kidding." and "The look on your face when the flakes are not frosted and there is a lack of marshmallows in your breakfast cereal."; Alan AJ Irby: "Bruce Jenner - no longer the most disturbing box cover subject for Wheaties."; Woody Woods: "Brad was very adamant at the photo shoot that he would NOT reappear in 40 years as 'Ms. Wombat.'"; and Zazu: "When General Mills found there were no athletes available for Wheaties boxes who weren't tainted by rumors of drug use, they got desperate."
And this week's winning entry comes, appropriately enough, from my Vocal Majority brother G Scott Lewis, his fifth win and first of 2015! Congratulations, Scott!
Thanks to all who entered! New pic coming on Monday!

Interesting. The color of the dress does not match the curtains, nor the carpeting.

CAPTION CONTEST RESULTS! First, the Honorable Mentions: ktulu: "Sorry, I only see in two colors: Baylor Green and Baylor Gold."; G Scott Lewis: "Mrs. Wombat didn't care about the multi colored dress.

And -- it must take a fellow lawyer to think this way -- the blue ribbon this week goes to Woody Woods, his very first win! Congratulations, Woody (and Sic 'em, Bears)!
Thanks to all who entered! New pic coming on Monday!
