If you rub his bald spot (it's not really bald, just light hair) on his head, you will get good luck for the rest of your shift :D: . Thanks for the Tower downtime Big Wallaby
Yup...this was totally worthy of being it's own topic ;)
The secret of "Big Wallaby"
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 will be your guide for this magical journey into the movies. It's the perfect job for me, because I love movies! Is everybody ready? Great, because it's showtime. Ready when you are, CB!

While it's nice to know about this side effect. It still raises a totally valid question.CycloneMan wrote:If you rub his bald spot (it's not really bald, just light hair) on his head, you will get good luck for the rest of your shift :D: . Thanks for the Tower downtime Big Wallaby

Why exactly were you rubbing Big Wallaby's bald spot?
Do we need to protect our marsupial population from walk-by rubbings?
:p: ;)
