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.

Under the guise of "showing Santa the city," Wombat pushes Santa off the roof, thus becoming the new "Singing Santa!"

Re: Caption contest
CAPTION CONTEST RESULTS! Lots of SGT winners this week! First, the Honorable Mentions: Zazu: "Now, imagine that you had a tort claim against every single person who owns a chimney..."; YANXWIN: "Under the guise of 'showing Santa the city,' Wombat pushes Santa off the roof, thus becoming the new 'Singing Santa'!"; Lion King references from DisneyMom: "And see that Dark, Shadowy Place? That is Hollywood... you must never go there!"; and Anthony Bartholomew: "Everything the snow touches is our kingdom."; Jay Marsh: "As Wombat describes the benefit of his legal counsel, Santa considers jumping off the roof."; and a special Honorable Mention to Joel Bezaire, because this exact Monty Python and the Holy Grail dialogue was running through my head when I created this picture: "One day, lad, all this will be yours..." "What, the curtains?" "No, not the curtains!"
And this week's winner is one of the rare people I know who is both from California and relatively normal, DisneyMom! Congratulations, DisneyMom, on your first win this year and third overall!
Thanks to all who entered! New fake picture coming on Monday!

Bob Ross had one last painting in him before he left us. The background was 'great',,the foreground not so much.
