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
CAPTION CONTEST RESULTS! Tough choice this week, but we do have a winner! But first, the Honorable Mentions: two from ktulu: "Spontaneous combustion happens quite a bit when I'm cooking." and "This is the latest recipe from my newest self-help cookbook, Diet by Fire."; two from Jay Marsh: "Another reason baritones should not be allowed in the kitchen." and "We've never had someone try to use Posh Spice, Sporty Spice, or Scary Spice before. They really make the dish sing!"; Lynn A Ewing: "My soufflé fell into a burning ring of fire..." and Bear Deardorff: "Chef Wombat responds, 'If you think that looks hot, wait until it passes through you!'"
And our illustrious winner this week is darph nader, his first win this year and third overall! Congratulations, darph!

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!

CAPTION CONTEST for OCTOBER 9! My friend Bear Deardorff's Peanuts-related caption from last weeks contest didn't win, but it did inspire this week's pic! So... how would you caption this picture? Comment below!

Re: Caption contest
It's psychiatric help that's 5 cents. Legal advice is considerably more expensive.

Re: Caption contest
CAPTION CONTEST RESULTS! I usually avoid politics, but this late entry was perfect. (I am a little surprised no one went with something related to "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor"!) On to the Honorable Mentions: darph nader: "Yes, Mr. Brown, psychiatric help is 5 cents. Legal help, on the other hand, is $250.00 an hour."; Zazu: "Give me a chance! Could my advice be all that much worse than Lucy's?"; Brooks Harkey: "You get your money's worth on psychiatric help from Wombat."; Tom Jackson: "What do you mean 'crazy'? You're the one who talks to his dog…"; and Melissa Dugan Selters: "The moment when Charlie Brown realizes there is someone worse off than him."
And after winning for the first time just last week, the top caption once again comes from my VM bro Tim Bird! (Will there be a threepeat???) Congratulations, Tim!

CAPTION CONTEST for OCTOBER 16! Inspired by my VM bro Bret Morris's Fb post recently about the ridiculous size of Homecoming mums these days -- and reinforced by my own eyes at the football game I worked on Friday. So... how would you caption this picture?
