Difference between a Fruitcake and a Cheesecake?
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 think I went to school with a girl named Brandy Fruitcake.

Fruitcakes are very handy. They make great car stands and/or wheel chocks. ;)

Re: Difference between a Fruitcake and a Cheesecake?
I believe that the biggest disappointment I ever had in my life was the time that, unaware of the tradition, I attended a wedding and reception in Canada. I had been craving sweats all day for some reason so I couldn't wait for the regular meal to be completed so that I could have some of that cake.
IT WAS FRUITCAKE! I almost cried. Didn't they want their guests to enjoy their meal? Who came up with that? Was it a cost saving measure since there would be so much left that they could use the remaining cake for the next wedding? Was it so that the bride and groom could save the top layer until their first anniversary and not even have to refrigerate it, much less freeze? Some things defy explanation, I guess.
Moral of the story...Don't get married or witness someone getting married if you are in Canada. It will all start off very badly.

Brandy wouldn't appreciate that joke.
