Would y'all like in on this? Those of you who've friended me on Facebook know I've recently started a weekly caption contest just for fun. I insert myself into doctored photograph and post it at the beginning of the week on Facebook and my World of Wombat blog, and you can suggest a caption in the comments. I then repost the pic with my favorite caption on Friday. (No prizes, other than the glory/infamy of being chosen, sorry.)
I know we have plenty of funny and creative people here, so feel free to click through the links above to suggest a caption!*
Here's this week's doctored photo:
Have fun!
* I don't conceal my identity here, but if that's a concern for you, you can always post anonymously on the blog site rather than friend me on FB.
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
I've been neglecting to post the new contest here each week -- sorry! I especially can't believe I didn't put last week's Disney-themed entry, but congrats to Ktulu for his winning caption:
Now here's this week's picture, in honor of President's Day. How would you caption it?

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