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.

I think a baritone barrister would be 'so' cool though.

So strong was his desire to become a baritone that he forced himself into early puberty!

Hmmmm....the last kid to be born with facial hair was Paul Bunyan (French Canadian version of the story I read once as a kid); I hope he doesn't grow to be 63 axe-handles high, though if he became a lumberjack, he'd be okay!

Re: Caption contest
Congratulations to my long-distance Vocal Majority brother Don Kistler (living in Florida makes it difficult to get to weekly rehearsals!), with this great caption for a creepy picture. Seriously, I made the pic, yes, but even I was getting weirded out by it by the end of the week!
DisneyMom takes an Honorable Mention with "A disturbing new trend of babies born with facial hair is being linked to the Paleo Diet Fad....." :D:
Thanks to all who entered! New picture coming Monday!

CAPTION CONTEST, Week 21- In honor of son Brandon, who heads to Austin for the UIL State Theater Design competition this week, and with apologies to the late Sir John Gielgud, whose body I used for this image, I insert myself into Hamlet.
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. (As always, no prizes, other than the glory/infamy of being chosen.)
