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.

Friends, we need to get this man a hobby -- perhaps singing -- before he commits art again!

Re: Caption contest
CAPTION CONTEST RESULTS! Now that we’ve finished the most important event of the day -- getting son Benjamin graduated -- it's time for the second most important! First, the Honorable Mentions: ktulu: "Brad's idiot savant syndrome only comes out when he copies art."; Lynn A Ewing: "Draw me like your French landmarks, Wombat."; Alan AJ Irby: "Just another manic Monet."; DisneyMom: "Wombat sadly did not get to work for Pixar, and had to settle for getting his law degree. His parents never got over the disappointment."; Jay Marsh: "Wombat learns the hard way to remember his paint-by-numbers kit on his next trip to Paris."; and PatchOBlack: "And somewhere, Bob Ross was rolling in his grave...."
And our winner this week is fellow Baylor Bear Matt McBrayer, his first win this year and third overall! Congratulations and Sic 'em, Matt!
Thanks to all who entered! New fake picture coming on Monday!

CAPTION CONTEST for JUNE 19! Bit of a break from the travel theme of recent pics. 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, just the glory of winning!

"Originally, the Addams Family was going to include a barbershop singing lawyer. The idea was considered way too terrifying and Uncle Wombat was ultimately cut."

Cast picture just before Womat lost his role to Carel Struyken.
Wombat figured,"Hey. I can get the part of Mr Homm on Star Trek".
Re: Caption contest
The reel reason The Addams Family was done in color...Brad was too pale to show up in black and white.

CAPTION CONTEST RESULTS! Time for your creepy, kooky, and altogether ooky captions! First, the Honorable Mentions: DisneyMom: "Wombat did not know he was adopted until he found this picture of his biological family."; Larry E Collins: "Lurch has a new trademark question: 'You sang?'"; Two from ktulu: "Brad is forced to take on a second job after sending Benjamin off to Baylor." and "Whatever you do, do NOT ask him where Thing is...."; and Lasolimu: "Originally, the Addams Family was going to include a barbershop-singing lawyer. The idea was considered way too terrifying and Uncle Wombat was ultimately cut."
And the winning (and insulting) caption this week comes from YANXWIN, his first win this year and third overall! Congratulations, YANXWIN!
