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.

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

The Disney Costume Department had to do a little 're-think' after Mickey had two 7-11 burritos.

And that's how Brad was violently trespassed from Walt Disney World.
My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Re: Caption contest
Week 16 Caption Contest results! I’m changing up the reveal format a bit to give the runners-up a little more play, since they are always creative and funny, and I’m not sure how many people click through to the comments to read them unless they themselves are tagged. So first – the Honorable Mentions! DisneyMom: "Failing to get the spotlight in Fantasmic he hoped for, Brad decided to be a show-stopper anyway...."; Don Kistler: "Greg*, you don't have to do this. We're going to win in Las Vegas with our singing!"; Patrick Stayton: "Mickey auditions for Vocal Majority with a stirring rendition of This Little Light of Mine."; and Lasolimu: "To prevent potential lawsuits, Wombat reminded Mickey that safety comes first, even if you have magic powers." Congrats to all!
And this week’s top prize, and winner of a brand-new PassPorter Walt Disney World 2014, is avid runner and car salesman (though not usually at the same time) David Wilmoth -- his first win this year and second win overall!
Thanks to all who entered! New picture coming Monday!
*Greg Clancy, Musical Director of the Vocal Majority.

2014 CAPTION CONTEST, Week 17. How would you caption this picture?
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, other than the glory/infamy of being chosen.

Unfortunatly, Brad had NO idea before this what he would sound like in 8-bit.
