Ear-Force One
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.

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

I'm BUSTED ! I was sure i had seen a Snagglepuss smiley, but couldn't find it when I needed it. So I substituted Top Cat.Disneyguy85 wrote:Wait a second, that's a picture of Top Cat.

Re: Ear-Force One
As opposed to our dearly departed Mr. whatevertheheckletterIwanttobetoday, this type of thread drift is one of the reasons I LOVE this board...
that, and as the only IT type in a shop full of programmers, managers, and otherwise smart people (I do program, too...part of the time),
I have to take all the calls from the field idiots...er, the people in the field. I find the way that Disney CM's deal with stress and issues to be theraputic...
Anyway, this thread taught me to never ignore a thread that appears every day with new topics...I read it when only the first three or four posts were there...
and promptly ignored it as I thought the question was answered. Today, I got curious...and now wish I had been reading it all along - it was quite entertaining!
Thread drift here is awesome to behold. Never seen anything quite like it...and it's quite fun, too! Kind of like a box of chocolates...
you never know what you're going to get!! (yeah...Gump reference...sorry...)
