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: Worst game of Telephone evar.
Teddy Roosevelt, known for being at least somewhat plainspoken:
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: Worst game of Telephone evar.
A quote from another Roosevelt, this time F.D.R.: "We have nothing to fear but fear itself."

Then the U.S. motto: "In God we trust."

"We believe in God."
Interesting.

Re: Worst game of Telephone evar.
Name that tune!
[INDENT]Rose rain nick, the heat win, while I, cancer killed my cat, power paper.
Rokarugatshoufurai. Feet like the feet. Bayerunbayerunappurukorutosuraido.
Hey, change clothing and white body, and the initial capital for the spring my lovely snow.
For my dogs, I'm sorry, I'm sorry my memory[/INDENT]
(Each verse and chorus translated separately because of the 250-char limit.)
Answer:
[spoiler]
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad[/spoiler]

Re: Worst game of Telephone evar.
Okay, this is classic. This:
[INDENT]Who's the leader of the club
That's made for you and me
M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E
Hey! there, Hi! there, Ho! there
You're as welcome as can be
M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E
Mickey Mouse! Mickey Mouse!
Forever let us hold our banner High!
High! High! High!
Come along and sing a song
And join the jamboree!
M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E [/INDENT]
translates as this:
[INDENT]"Mickey Mouse Club, not the first time! Home! Well, Welcome to Mickey Mouse, maybe
Mickey! T - shirt! Top Banner! A! A! A! Amen! Valley"[/INDENT]
